My Garden
My garden is located in North Orange County. It consists of two raised beds, some planters, and a small slope on the side of my house. I am not a full time gardener, or blogger, or anyone who gardens professionally - I am just a person that likes to garden as a hobby. If you happened upon this humble website, I hope you find something useful for you to use in your own gardening.
