A few months ago, we started renting a house near Downtown San Jose. There are lots of great things about this house, but one of the things I’m most excited about is the garden.
When we first moved in, however, the garden needed a little love.
So, I spent a weekend pulling up all the weeds, raking the dirt, trimming the bushes, and removing the trash. Afterward, the garden looked much, much better, but was still a little empty, except for the rosemary I decided to leave in and bring back to life.
The garden is pretty awesome — it has four raised beds, and a citrus tree.
You can see the base of the citrus tree in the above picture. We think it’s some kind of orange tree.
It may be tough to see, but those black irrigation lines need some love.
This bed is ready to be planted!
Helo made sure to help. Or supervise.
In future posts I’ll talk about what I later planted, how we solved the irrigation issues, and my worm composting.
