Kim’s garden in Washington

Today ’s photos are from Kim Mikkelsen in Yakima , Washington . She says,“My garden is in constant changeover . But it ’s get me through some sturdy metre in my life ! It ’s my therapy garden , after a crappy divorcement and two crappy cancers . Who can help but look at a garden and not smile ? I ’ve often run mentally to my garden when I ca n’t be there physically .

“ My yard was on the garden tour for Yakima in 2012 and 2004 . It was such fun to see sure-enough folks and immature issue forth through the gardens . The elderly reminded me of my Grandma , who garden until she was 102 and lived to 104 . I would have love to share the garden with her . I conceive the young kinsfolk like it because the koi are so despoil in my 5,000 and 8,000 ponds that you’re able to pet them !

“ I build all of the arbors myself ( as a quilter , I can say it was like attain a quilt only with wood and you could saw a finger off ) and put in the drip system and the firing ( and only burned a little bit of the landscaping ) . Oh well , you subsist and learn . I think I ’m a good quilter than builder . I had help on building the ponds and put in the pathways . We did one in 108 - point heat and the other in minus 10 — NOT the wise thing one would want to do — big der on my part ) . I ’m a bean counter by swop , but get to put my originative part into my gardening and quilting . Ah gardening — ca n’t beat it ! ”

I am SWOONING over your edges , Kim , and that ’s just the beginning ! So great . Thanks so much for sharing your garden with us . I experience like there ’s so much more to see , including more of the pond ! Please indulge us … .. place more moving-picture show !
