About Me

My photo
melissa
I started gardening in my own 1916 bungalow/cottage garden in Pasadena, CA in 1991... the absolute Eden for gardeners. After getting married, having a child, and moving to Valencia, CA I thought I had moved to gardening hell: hard, clay soil and hot summers with scorching Santa Ana winds. Somehow,after 7 years of constant soil amending, planning and planting, I managed to transform the blah lawn-and-shrub yard into colorful perennial bliss. In 2005, we moved to the rocky hill country of Austin, Texas. No top soil here! After 6 years of struggle, and getting through an incredibly hot summer and drought this year, I think it's time for a complete garden overhaul. And so the fun begins!
