Add some Joe Pye Weed in for the butterflies (it's another larger than life plant). As a sidenote-with the Wisteria it will rip apart anything wood, fences, pergolas, trellises, etc...so if you're going to grow it put it on wrought iron or cable it so it doesn't destroy all your & Dave's hard work! *AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475284076189850727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-25117028890509419052011-02-22T09:00:56.324-05:002011-02-22T09:00:56.324-05:00This weather totally makes me want to get my finge...This weather totally makes me want to get my fingers dirty!

I was stunned last fall when visiting a friend with a garden that my girls ate tomatoes, carrots, and peas because they were able to pick the produce themselves. Wouldn't catch them doing that at the kitchen table.

Funny, isn't it? I think it comes from a desire to meld the two into a seamless space. If the outside is a little more insidier (what?) and the inside is a little more outsidier, then the two become enough like one another that they flow. As I was writing that, I remembered that someone wrote about the idea of a "vanishing threshold" - basically a blurring of the lines that separate our indoor spaces from our outdoor. That's such a clever, and accurate, was to describe it.Jaccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104879143621094527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-21586365848770687802011-02-21T21:35:32.129-05:002011-02-21T21:35:32.129-05:00Lauren- The "Garden of Giants" sounds li...<b>Lauren</b>- The "Garden of Giants" sounds like so much fun! Never saw gourds hanging before.<br /><br />So lucky you are building some outdoor structures! I'm dreaming of outdoor spaces and am wondering how much maintainence goes into a pea gravel patio. It would be the cheapest way to make an outdoor space I can think of!<br /><br />I just did a post on your and Brooke's showrooms. (Had SO much fun finding examples of Peter Dunham's "Fig Leaf" fabric!)<br /><br /><b>Loretta</b>Loretta Fontaine (EcoHappy Blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07267859119744984172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-23744384657910721982011-02-21T20:31:42.856-05:002011-02-21T20:31:42.856-05:00Hi Lauren,

You should become a member of her Grimy Hands Girls Club :). I can't wait to see your creation with your kids! Last year we created a children's garden. It was awesome and I give Sharon Lovejoy the credit!
