AUG 3, 2025 // GARDEN SURVEY

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

Today I took some photographs and notes in my handwritten journal on the current state of the Garden and how to progress. Those notes will follow these photographs.

-Keeping leftover pots and putting them to use is probably a better return on investment of time and energy than trying to sell them.
-There is no better strategy than time in the garden.
-Fixing the North and South fences to match the renovation we did to the East fence will have a positive impact.
-Try hand watering potted plants instead of using the garden hose sprayer on shower setting.
-Forming a habit of watching and listening will begin a dialogue that will show the way.
-Clear those trash cans, and use those fence boards as soon as possible.
-Design a potting station / pots and soil storage once South fence is finished.
