Under the Solano Sun

I recently moved to Vallejo from San Francisco. I had installed a rainwater recovery system back in San Francisco which captured over 1,000 gallons of water for use in my garden. I wanted to duplicate and improve on a new water storage system here.

I really enjoy the moon when it is full. This year, we have several unique things happening with the moon. In January, we had the full moon eclipse. I made sure to set the clock and get up early to see the eclipse.

A few years ago I received a garden angel that was made out of an old bowling pin. It was hand-painted and had a country feel to it. I set it out on the edge of my patio, nestled among the pots, and would bring it in over the winter.

As a gardener, I enjoy visiting a variety of gardens whenever I go out of town and have the time. This gives me a chance to see how the gardens are designed, see plants I may not know, find some I want to try to grow, but not sure how they might fit in my own garden.
