Dry Garden

You'd think that a dry garden wasn't something you'd desire. But, I spent the past couple weekends redoing some of our wine barrels to create a dry garden - a hardy garden that doesn't require very much water. We got some plants from a nursery up the street (aptly named "The Dry Garden"), then went to town. We have two great wine barrels in the back yard (on wheels, they roll around on our driveway), and a new wine barrel up front. (Well, not new... it was in the back yard and had strawberries growing in it, but the strawberries' irrigation got clogged and they died... Fitting to replant it with a dry garden.)

I'm really excited. The best part? We got all the plants (17 total) and soil (3 bags worth) back on our bike trailer. (Two trips, though...)
