Jane's Patio garden

Created on Monday, 17 Sep 07

a favorite spot right off the back patio. It is full sun, with a little shade in areas (like under the snakebark maple tree). It is all in raised beds which I have completely renovated since moving in last year. It gets moderate irrigation…a luxury in the high desert!
