[...] We’ve always been into gardening but during the years the babes were being born we let our landscape slip a bit. Now that they’re old enough to “help” we’ve put in a new vegetable garden and added some new perennials to the front yard. It all looks gorgeous, we feel invigorated after a morning spent working in the sunshine, and our kiddos appreciate the dinner-time vegetables they helped grow. Whether you’ve gardened before or this is your first time, the inspiration found online is simply stunning. [...]

I love French kitchen Gardens…potagers…I have styled my own in this fashion…I think I will post about it soon (maybe when something starts to grow in it)…
Anyway, I stopped by because I saw your comment on our decor8 homework about direction and Joie de vivre…I think you could work with this site…maybe take it in a new direction…your comment reminded me of the blog My Marrakesh..and the author there, Mariam, who writes little “tales” about the little adventures of her life. I think adding a new ‘feature’ like that might move you in the direction you want to head…and still be appropriate for this site…just my thoughts…good luck

At this time of year, when green first appears in the garden, I just love how the color is so intense, almost fluorescent. The quality of that was captured beautifully in the first photo you have in this article.

I am so enjoying my garden. Blogging has actually allowed me to become a ‘gardener’ because for me, apparently, I need the element of sharing with others through my writing.

Have fun planning your garden and, hopefully, you’ll soon be growing a garden!

I love your ideas, especially the photo of the kitchen garden from the Vegetable Gardener. The plan is very much like that in an amazing restored medieval garden in Uzes, France. The Uzes garden uses pea gravel for the paths, and also has some nice trees with little tables and chairs under them, a nice large wall fountain, medieval mosaics painted on several walls, and serves a typical medieval tea. The garden is located next to and shares walls with a large church/castle. Some beds have the names of the plants grown in them printed in medieval script on the tiles used to frame the beds.
