Your album of Garden Maps is really nice. You are so talented! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your kind words, Susanne! Another nice thing is, these gardens don't have weeds. ;-)

Cool! I can see it now, the deer fence will have to be so tall that now you dont get any sun in your garden. Those deer can get over and around anything it seems.

Haha, Frank right?! And they're not even scared of humans anymore around here. We're ready for them though... I think...

polypropylene mesh seems to work best for a deer fence! 7 feet high is perfect too keep those pesky deer out of your garden:) the thin profile of the polypropylene mesh allows the fence to blend right into your landscape so that both the sun and your view is not inhibited! I found a great product at www.bennersgardens.com

I love this garden illustration! it's adorable and makes me want one just like it.

Thanks for the tip, Anon-- We're doing a combo of wire mesh and the poly. May not look beautiful but I think it'll do the trick!

Thank you, Cheryl! :-)

This is a very cool map. I love the way the garden is laid out, with the small plots and the bench (which looks like a great place to sit and read, or draw).

I need to start my garden soon too. Unfortunately just little flower boxes since I live in an apartment, but it's still fun to see what grows :)

Happy Gardening!

Thanks, Sruble! I like gardens that divide up the space as different rooms. Lots of variation that way.

Hey, you can do a lot with garden boxes. Enjoy! :-)

My husband is starting tomatoes, cilantro and peppers in our greenhouse window for the outside garden... he says he's growing salsa... I say he's growing magic. I mean, green things are coming out of dirt! That's so cool! (I never was a gardener, because I grew up in the desert, but now I might have to take it up...)

that's a lot of weeding! nice map! i'll tell you right now i have never and will never look that good while gardening. LOL

on second thought, it' not really a map is it, more like a garden plan. are you going to plan your garden out and paint it first so your hubby knows exactly how you want things?

oh wonderful...I so love gardening...this is a great piece!!!

Christine-- I'll plan it roughly... it's going to be touch and go this first year. I always chuckle at fancy garden catalog clothes... so clean! So expensive, just to go get all dirty and sweaty! But maybe black leggings and funky boots would be worth a try... ;-D

Thanks, Diana! Seems that many artist types love to garden... very cool. :-)

I love the garden bed shapes in the back yard.... Hmmmmm..... I'll have to keep thinking as I add a few more beds.

Good luck with your ambitious new garden! :-)

Beautiful subtle color on this map Jen!

Sorry I've been absent from visiting my friend. Many things going on and I'm also trying to cut back on my blogging time. It really takes a lot of time out of you when you start to keep track of the it.

No need to apologize, Ali-- I completely understand. I'm doing the same myself. Too much to do!! :-)
