I would have said the Manzanita garden but there were elements of the Ferrante Garden and the Urban Garden which I loved just as much.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-49932560320690136102014-07-22T08:21:37.314-07:002014-07-22T08:21:37.314-07:00There was one lady who would have disagreed with y...There was one lady who would have disagreed with you, she let out a holler when she saw the bees and started running away.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-21270759942550911652014-07-22T08:20:34.754-07:002014-07-22T08:20:34.754-07:00Ah go ahead and steal them, they'll never know...Ah go ahead and steal them, they'll never know!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-21194007564288000972014-07-21T19:06:20.379-07:002014-07-21T19:06:20.379-07:00Oooh, I love the idea of growing orderly veggies a...Oooh, I love the idea of growing orderly veggies alongside the driveway.

Great to see others we didn't get to see via your blog. It just came to my mind now how popular the yellow variegated grass Hakonechloa macra is there, which I've spotted once again in this garden.
