This is a small residential backyard garden located in Zone 9A. Sunset 14 It's common to have afternoon winds in summer or fog in the late afternoon.

It is dedicated to my grandfather who had me investigating worms and spiders at the age of three and Billy who lives next door...a large braying hound who growls when I am in the garden. We have not yet become friends. His desire I am convinced is to have a taste of me. |
