OK here’s the DL on the back space. The space above is the area in question. I’m thinking of putting a raised garden in or a modern easy to take care of mostly hardscape area. There are pluses and minuses to both options. Here’s a little visual of what I have in mind.
Here’s a little peek into the rest of it. The pocket I was taking about in between the masonry wall and the fence. This is where I planted some jade and left the geraniums that weren’t ravaged by mold this winter. The mason wall is the wall I want to paint white. I’ve been wanting to paint it for some time, but after many visits to the Ace Palm Springs, it’s decided.
Also I thought y’all might want to meet my chicken substitutes, Oscar and Felix. They are prison gay and Oscar lost his foot from a freak swing accident last winter.

Anyway, I have that same garden photo in my inspiration file. A graphic designer's garden, no? Probably a great bet for your yard, as you can tailor each "quadrant" to the particular sun reality. I think you could marry the two: work a raised bed (or two) into the hardscape concept… very chic.

May 16, 2010 at 9:16 PMHa we are having a total conversation via blog comments! LOVE IT:) if you mean you are about to go down the road I'm going on in terms of certain healers you might want to see I am so here for you if there's anything you want to know more about. All I know is abundance thinking is so key; and if I fall off the wagon it's OK, just do what I can to bring myself back. And WOW what a time to trust–not just in powers bigger than me but in ME. Which is ALWAYS a gift, no? sending so many good thoughts your way. XOX
