Honey and Veggies
“ A year from now you may wish you had started today.”
We have just had our first Honey Harvest here at Allen Land Design. That was quickly followed by the usual summer suspects -tomatoes, peppers, corn - and will soon be wrapped up with our annual Olive Harvest! It is great to be able to combine landscape design with farming.
And it is exciting to see that there are so many good ideas taking hold these days, from "victory gardens" at San Francisco City Hall, to edible front gardens in our neighborhoods. Almost everywhere we look it seems people are beginning to take the steps necessary to ensure the safety and security of their own food. If you feel you may have missed the boat this year, do not despair. We can start preparing your garden and property for your own little slice of paradise.
And speaking of paradise of a less edible, but equally beautiful sort...
“I wander’d lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”
... spring flowering bulbs are headed this way. Use your imagination to see those colorful drifts of daffodils, plant them now and enjoy your own fluttering and dancing beauties next spring. Please give Allen Land Design a call to place an order. And while you're at it, don't forget garlic bulbs are planted in November - see above!
