The garden grew as it went.

Updated March 11, 2008:
Just added a view as winter ends,
six months after we left for Korea.

A series of high-intensity thunderstorms (and perhaps a couple of tornadoes) blew through the county on Thursday. Most of the plants were fine, but the bigger ones that hadn't blossomed went down for the count.

I had already cut down several plants in order to tidy up before our departure to Korea. I salvaged the remaining corn, added the plant debris to the burnpiles, and tossed any mature seedheads into the treeline. Next year, perhaps, they'll create a naturalized backdrop of color and form.













This is how the Concentric Garden began.
The first photo in this set was taken on 21 May.
