My new favorite. I can usually pick out a magical sentence, set of, or a whole paragraph. My highlighter would touch every part of “A Map of a Not Imaginary Garden”.
Five acres must seen infinite some days. We are on half an acre after being small but jam-packed garden city dwellers for many years. Ours was mostly vast scrubby lawn with a few lovely unkempt fruit trees and a thin swathe of boggy woodlot at the end. It feels huge and not huge enough simultaneously.
Five acres feels infinite most days! (except winter)
I have Gayla's books! Your jam-packed city garden was incredible. We also had a city garden (jam-packed with raccoons, possums, groundhogs and ferel cats who loved digging my garden up! but I never had the skills or knowledge either. I am learning so much where I am now)
I wish we had a scrubby lawn and fruit trees and a boggy woodlot -wow! Five acres feels unnavigable mostly. I have to continuously look through my little windows to do any work at all...
If we were nearer I could lend you a goat or two to put on troublesome spots. They’re the only way I’ve been able to make progress. Them and very carefully snaking electric net fence.
I’ve been battling a losing fight against Japanese knotweed for several years…it’s so enervating to see it back yet again but I am determined. How the heck it got here in the Provincetown beach forest I will never know. Loving your map posts…
It is horrific and lines the streets near us. The township mows it leaving little starts all over the place! So brutal. Oh! I got lost in Provincetown on the bike trails and found roses growing in the sand. That was wild.

I’ll be revisiting this one many times.
Bravo Margaux 👏🏽 🙌
You are so generous Kevin. Thank you:)
I’m sorry about the Japanese Knotweed, I know how much you have been doing… the other trees and plants must know that you’re there to help!
Stay strong sweet Guard of the Garden.

Ha! Thank you charlotte. I am sure I am just a little smudge to them if anything at all 🤣
Better to be a smudge!
Agreed! I’ll take it.

Oh cool! Yeah there's new things every day here which is true of most natural spaces but feel multiplied here versus the city.

That fence part sounds like work! 🤣
Indeed
