About a year ago, I was fantasizing about my dream house. I was pondering weather to move back down to Monterey and live in Carmel. My dream house would be a tiny Hansel and Gretel cottage (preferably with all the candy bits) with a garden in the back twice or thrice the size of the main dwelling itself. There I would come home from work and spend most of my free time tending to my lusciously green garden.
Alas, I’ve moved once again. Most of you might be guessing I am some sort of gypsy lady, but I promise you I am nothing of the sort. Life happens… Break ups happen. And now being on my own in my own studio apartment downtown I can focus on my real passion, which is the roof top gardening. It’s funny where life takes you. I had to find a new place to live quickly (and I think I found it within a week). I had put the word out and whether you want to call it karma or kismet, my good friend Geraldine found me her next door unit. It’s a tiny studio, however the “roof/deck” is perfect for my gardening. I get tons of sun which is a great blessing. I still have the same plants but added new loot to my collection from Lowes last night.
Here are a few pictures I snapped this morning.
