Welcome to my garden!
... This past spring I started germinating seeds in the kitchen and attic so I could start a garden in the backyard. Because this is my first year gardening (and I'm unsure how I want to design my backyard garden), I choose to start a "container garden" for this year's season. I thought this blog would be a fun way to visually document the growth of each plant... and eventually the transformation of my whole back yard! Thanks for stopping by and happy gardening! :)

By clicking on any one of the plants in the Archive,
you can see the growth of that specific plant.

Fuchsia...

I also bought this one some time around the end of May. At first it wasn't doing well so I moved it around to find a spot where it would thrive. I tried the porch, the patio, hanging from the fence at the back of the yard, and eventually back on the porch. By then half of the plant was dying so I had to pull the whole plant out of the hanging basket and separate the dead section so I could replant the rest. Since then I've had it on the porch in the shade and it has finally started to bloom again. I mist this plant about 5 or 6 times a day and water it once every 2 or 3 days when necessary.
