Our tastes are quite similar for garden elements.lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759330860236504280.post-9054387812974325272009-01-18T08:59:00.000-08:002009-01-18T08:59:00.000-08:00The way you presented the Blake House and Garden i...The way you presented the Blake House and Garden is enchanting, Chuck - with videos added at just the right places. It's beautiful and large and almost formal yet it still seems like a place where real people could live. <BR/><BR/>It's too late for me to copy the idea this year, but that winter kale and flat parsley combination caught my eye.<BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759330860236504280.post-73199194901898227822009-01-16T19:50:00.000-08:002009-01-16T19:50:00.000-08:00I loved Everything!

I love the hand made twig structures too. Prince Charles himself uses similar things in his gardens, and then composts them at the end of the season. We could so do that too! :-)<BR/>FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759330860236504280.post-68164414292235258862009-01-16T16:07:00.000-08:002009-01-16T16:07:00.000-08:00I like those geometric ponds you showed.

I think that the underlying order among disorder is very visually appealing - akin to the pyramidal juniper cones next to the dead grass that you mentioned up top.<BR/><BR/>My next blog post: tile something with Penrose-like tiles for fun and Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11450393891493020636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759330860236504280.post-2754425012222051792009-01-16T12:26:00.000-08:002009-01-16T12:26:00.000-08:00So cool!

I'd rather see an entrance like this that feels real and welcoming.
