Inspecting The Area

Inspecting the area and finding out what you have (and what you have to work around) is important - especially when you live in the wild. Face it, most gardeners at least start out with some dirt and a reasonably flat space to work in. Not up here. However, Mother Nature has given me some real blessings for the garden area.

This little Scruff Oak Grove is on the far East end of the garden
area. Even without any work it looks like a welcoming place.
I'm thinking a little table and a few chairs for morning coffee.


To the normal eye this is a tree stump. However, it's just the
right height for a stool. Then my whimsical nature took hold
and I saw a little mushroom stool. I can make a cushioned top
for it. I think, long after the stump is gone, this should still
be a mushroom stool spot.


Then I looked up from the Mushroom Stump and saw
Bonsai Oak! I have no idea what made this Scruff Oak grow
like a Bonsai tree, but the area is going to be honored.


THE BEST FIND OF ALL!
Buried under a bunch rocks was this flat spot. What's so
important about a flat spot of concrete? This was the first
thing my Father created on this land in about 1980. It was a flat
spot to put a grill. This spot WILL be honored.
