Last
April
John and I
(and Toulouse)
attended
the
"ground breaking ceremony"
for the
Sunset
Victory Garden
at Santa Margarita Ranch.
The
was to
be
organic,
using
compost
and
sustainable
gardening
techniques.
I was intrigued
to see
the outcome
of
this
one
acre
garden
fast forward

The
entrance
to the Victory Garden
Hi John!
I
am
in AWE!
The
garden
is
absolutely
magnificent!
There is a scheme,
well, duh!
I guess every
good
garden has a SCHEME
There
are small plots of herbs
here and there
Gorgeous
olive trees
surround the garden
And
exquisite
veggies,
integrated with
flowers
are everywhere!
Thai Chiles
Bok Choy
amazingly beautiful
Swiss Chard
hundreds of
tomatoes,
peppers,
cucumbers
melons and pumpkins
beans,
eggplants
peas
onions
garlic and leeks
recycled wine corks
used
kinda like
bark
for weed maintenance
and to
keep the ground moist
(great idea, I am saving our corks!)
I wanted
to
do a "Peter Rabbit"
in
all the
lettuces
and kale
parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, basil, savory, oregano
so fragrant
The gardeners
were
on duty
seven days a week
to insure
that this
would be
the garden
among all
gardens.
IT
WAS!
