Our Garden Guru’s Garden

Originally the 4th of December was going to be a day (or morning at least) of visiting FiMBY gardens.  People were going to come to our garden, then we were all going to another FiMBY client’s garden, then we were going to our garden guru Christina’s garden to eat things together.  ‘Cuz that’s what people with fruit and veggie gardens like doing.

However December being December the garden tour wound up being cancelled.  But Christina kindly invited us over to check out her garden anyway.  It’s GREAT!!  Unfortunately my photos of it really are not.  Her whole block is hilly and slopes down to the street.  The front garden is dominated by a large round bed divided into area for different crops like spokes on a wheel radiating out from a (decidedly kempt compared to mine) rosemary bush.

Our Garden Guru's Garden!

Around the sides of this area a composting area and other beds with flowers and other stuff.

The back garden has an excellent deck with big pizza oven, then fruit trees, then RABBITS.  This is where the canine member of our party truly disgraced herself.  She shot through the back door before we could close her behind, became magically and totally deaf, and ran around the outsides of the rabbit cages excitedly.  I was mortified.  It was a hot day and one of the females had a new litter that didn’t need to be stressed out by a manic schnauzer – not that any of the rabbits needed stressing out by Miss Lottie!  The rabbit definitely looked like they were all screaming ‘wolf!!  wolf!!! bearded wolf!!!’.

Christina was nice and calm and even pretended she wasn’t thoroughly appalled by Lottie’s behaviour or our inability to simply keep her behind a door.  She even gave us a few bottles of elderflower cordial to take home.
