We Have a Winner
One of the many "before" shots you'll be seeing as we ask and answer the question, What Would Eve Do? As you can see, my space is not without merit, however small it may be. In addition to a bright orange house, I have a wonderful trompe l'oeil on the back fence created some 15 years ago by a talented garden artist known as Simple.

The spanking new series chronicling the re-design of my side yard is named:
WHAT WOULD EVE DO? Reviving A Neglected Garden
Thank you, thank you for the 150 suggestions you folks came up with in the past few days. So many great ones, and I intend to use quite a number of them, as I organize and record what I hope will be a primer for making imaginative use of boring, barren, and neglected garden spaces.
Runner-ups I look forward to working into the series include:
Order in the Courtyard!
The Plot Awakens
Till Tomorrow
The Lonely Fountain
My Other Yard is Fabulous
The Grateful Bed
Not In My Backyard!
And last, most certainly least: Ketzel Levine has a Bad Garden. Amen.
Starting Monday, EVE gets a seemingly generous budget which will likely turn out to be completely inadequate. And in case you missed it, find out why necessity really is the mother of invention: the backstory on the fountain.
