Re: READER PHOTOS! Liz's garden in Washington

Thanks to all of you for your lovely comments. It was truly a labor of love.
@tractor 1....yes my shed is insulated and has a little portable heater to keep my plants from freezing that I over winter. It also has a small water heater under the sink that my son installed for me. What a godsend that is when it is cold and my hands are freezing from working outside. I come inside and wash them in hot water. Also, I do have a privacy fence since we have a pool in our backyard and a fence is required, so that does help in keeping out deer and elk. I loved all your comments. Thankyou very much.
@ meander1....that makes me so proud to think that my garden looks timeless. About 95% of the rocks that I used in the streambed came from our yard. The Snoqualmie River once ran through what is now our backyard, so plenty of rocks. Thank you so much for your comments.
