Pacific Garden DesignAfter moving into a mid-century ranch home on Spokane's South Hill, these homeowners gave the tired landscape a dramatic makeover. The aging asphalt driveway was replaced by precast concrete pavers that coordinate with a new walkway of sandwashed concrete pads. A pared-down front lawn reduces the overall water use of the landscape, while sculptural boulders add character. A small flagstone patio creates a spot to enjoy the outdoors in the courtyard-like area between the house and the towering ponderosa pines. The backyard received a similar update, with a new garden area, water feature, and paver patio anchoring the updated space.

Jackie and the BeanstalkMy first week tending this garden I planted swiss chard and a new crop of kale.
Jackie and the BeanstalkI planted Marvel of Four Season lettuce seeds, which are heat tolerant, directly next to the soaker hose so they stay constantly moist. Seeds must never be allowed to dry out. I will divide these seedlings in the next few weeks
Jackie and the BeanstalkTwo weeks later these delicious greens have filled out and are ready to be harvested. I recommend removing just a few of the outer leaves as needed which keeps the plant producing for a long time.
Ecology ArtisansBackyard veggie beds and dymondia flagstone lower patio by Ecology Artisans. All areas, outside of patio, are irrigated with water efficient drip line irrigation under the mulch.
Jackie and the BeanstalkMalabar Spinach is native to India and Africa and needs warm soils to do well. Its red stems and black berries are a beautiful addition to any vegetable garden. Harvest the young leaves and eat raw like spinach or sauté the larger leaves in EVOO and garlic. It can grow to 30 feet up a trellis.
Jackie and the BeanstalkBright Lights chard is a winner in every way.
Colorful, nutritious, and keeps on giving the whole year long in our Southern California climate. It is one of the most antioxidant rich foods we can eat.
Jackie and the BeanstalkI have planted some hot peppers and basil alongside some cilantro. The cilantro will not last long in our summer heat but we hope to gather as much as possible before it bolts
UserPermaculture Orchard, Natick MA 3-1/2 months old. Complete regenerating ecosystem of food production. Also known as a "food forest" meaning in the example of mother nature there is no tilling, weeding is minimal to none as plantings are intentionally condensed to provide nutrients and weed control to each other. Since the industrial revolution monoculture taught us to grow one massive crop for profit. Mother nature rules as there is minimal maintenance after 5-6 years of establishing the succession plantings. Things take time but with a good investment of your time and effort upfront will give you returns for the lifetime of the site as all perennial fruit,vegetable, and medicinal plants that require no fertilizers or pesticides.
Jackie and the BeanstalkHot peppers have capsaicin which has many medicinal purposes and parsley with it's high vitamin content are great additions to juices.
Jackie and the BeanstalkPlant a heat tolerant lettuce in the summer to keep you picking fresh salads every day. Pictured here is Magenta from Johnny's seeds. It is not only beautiful to look at but tasty too.
Jackie and the BeanstalkKale, which is part of the brassica family is one of the healthiest foods you can eat. And harvesting it fresh from your garden right before you put it in your blender or sauté pan is the best way to take advantage of all the vitamin A, C and K plus trace minerals like copper, potassium, iron and more.
