The potager (kitchen garden)

Red fountain in the new potager in 2010.

This is the red fountain which is the centerpiece of this garden. Fountains provide water for visiting wildlife including our dogs and the birds they want to chase. Fountains are also repositories of soothing sound and can drown out highway noise.

Wouldn't you like to swing on this tree swing for my daughter. I'll sneak in some swing time this afternoon.

In late summer, sweet potato vines covered the brick walkways, but the bountiful garden looked its best in July and August with all of the overflow.
