A Big Weekend Ahead

First off, I have fallen in love with Sunset Magazine. I remember that my grandmother used to have a subscription, and I don't think the magazine's cover has changed much in 25 years. As such, I never assumed I was in the target market for this magazine. I also thought it was focused on the south (like Southern Living). Amarillo, TX is known for its sunsets. So you can see how I was confused.

Until last week when I picked up a copy. And learned that its tagline is "How to Live in the West". And it's actually very current and useful. And pretty. I love it. We'll be using a lot of valuable guidance from it this weekend to add some more landscaping to your yard. We are aiming to put in a second raised bed as well. Updates to come.

I also really want to try playing around with succulents. I was first inspired by this installation at Flora Grubb Garden in San Francisco. I'll be starting much, much smaller, but maybe someday our patio can be covered in this organic art.

  1. Hello,

    Love the blog, keep up the good work. A lot of us here at Neighborcity.com (we're in the Mission) love the blog, the rest, well they just don't know about it. Anyway, I wanted to link your readers to this article here. http://tinyurl.com/verticlegardens. It talks about some of the more ambitious vertical garden projects around the world. Good luck with your garden, and feel free to drop in to our Bay Area blog, (http://sfrealestatereport.blogspot.com/)¬ we’re always looking for guest bloggers, should something like that fit your fancy.

    Cheers,

    Raj C.
