Down in Dingley Dell. Dingley Dell is the name of our new house, our new life here is high desert country. A place where neither my husband or I are originally from, but know call home. This is were an adventure will begin. A garden adventure. Where some things will grow, while others will not, and surprises will pop up where they are not wanted, but perfectly belong. I will state now that I have no idea what I am doing: gardening, designing, photographing, blogging. But it will be a learning experience for all to watch. My goal is to create a small habit that will invite birds, pollinators, and all the wonders of nature, as well as fresh culinary delights from a tiny potager. I have seen some fabulous blogs floating out in web space, and I will try to learn from all of them. Now, I must begin to, at very least, put up some photos my plot of land from last summer.

Hello Jacquie : )
I also am dipping my garden toe into the potager style. I think it is the most practical for people with smallish gardens .. I like to plant companion plants such as herbs with my susceptible flowering plants .. sages and dills with my roses .. lavender also helps ..
There is so much information to digest with gardening.. no matter how long we have been at it .. there is always something new and interesting to learn .. I think that is why I love it so much : )
Don't stress over it .. just let it flow and you will be more successful than you could ever imagine !! Good Luck girl !
P.S. This is the time of year that drives me cabin crazy .. no sign of spring for months yet .. and more snow (which is good for the plants actually) but it is such a log wait ............. haha

Good luck Jacquie with your adventures of all kinds. The challenge of combining horticulture with thoughtfulness for the natural environment is a good one and one that I practice. And it takes a lot of practice! You got that right in your posting. I know little of the desert but what I know as a birder is that water is key even in this relatively wet enviroment of Eastern North America.

Did you know there is a 12 word sentence you can tell your crush... that will trigger deep feelings of love and instinctual appeal to you deep within his chest?

Because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's impulse to love, idolize and guard you with his entire heart...

12 Words That Fuel A Man's Love Instinct

This impulse is so hardwired into a man's genetics that it will drive him to work better than ever before to build your relationship stronger.

In fact, triggering this dominant impulse is absolutely essential to getting the best ever relationship with your man that the moment you send your man one of the "Secret Signals"...

...You'll immediately find him expose his heart and soul to you in a way he never experienced before and he will identify you as the only woman in the world who has ever truly attracted him.
