This is how the side garden began, not even an afterthought. I was taking a photo of the porch in November 2003 when we were looking at the house. If you concentrate on looking through the window you can see brambles, sticks, and a small willow tree. The first summer, 2004, I waited to see what the garden held, never figuring just how little there was of interest between the houses. The previous owner grew too old to keep up with it all. When I finally noticed that area it was high summer and goldenrod was asserting it's domination. The only thing I did on that whole side of the house that summer was carve out a little area for some Siberian iris that I got from a neighbor in trade for some tiger lilies.
