I do blog next to a window but all I can see is a wall that my husband built for privacy. Behind that wall is our next door neighbor’s house, and there is nothing worthwhile to look at, thus, I leave that window half close most of the times. The window across from my computer, however, faces to the garden where we enjoy lush setting of garden environment during summer and spring, and even fall. Though, there is not much to it right now because all the trees and flowers lost its foliage in preparation for winter. In fact, today was the first time it went 4 degrees below zero. And during winter, I hardly ever visit my yard.
I had taken some pictures of the garden last summer right after I finished weeding. And here they are:
This is where we try to garden after the danger of frost is over. Notice I used the word try because except for the first year when our garden was prolific, the next years weren’t as productive due to the weather unpredictable behavior and pest problem.


Wow, what a view. Yes, I have read somewhere that winter nights are cold in the desert. May I ask what is that metal thingy standing in the middle of the garden in the first photo? Looks like a poso to me, lol!
Thanks for taking time to do this meme and thanks for sharing photos of your wonderful fruit garden.
julie, that metal thingy that you were asking about is a freeze proof water faucet which has a valve located below ground level to prevent it from freezing during winter. it looks exactly like puso from the outside. the moment i lift that handle, water will come out of the spout, and use mainly for watering the garden.
I guess the reason behind having mostly rocks instead of grass is maintenance issues. I like that you can do things around, like there is so much space for more planting.
ang laki ng space, marami-rami kang pwedeng itanim dyan
wow..you got a pretty spacious garden Belle =) I love it. I’m sorry about the pest problem though.
You got a good view … in the opposite window.
And yes, you got plenty of space. I know you have splendid flora around. And trees right? Veggies too?
How long does it take to walk one end of your propety to the other, I wonder. On the other hand, it takes a lot of work maintaining it, ano?
wow. look at that space. and a beautiful one at that.
I thought it was in Catanduanes, the mountain view and gardens.
belle, what is that fruit on the left.
the yellow orange one.
it looks like santol, but i am sure it isn’t.
