Pruned the grape vines in Chychy's garden along our common fence, chipped the public path with the cuttings. Freddie's going to be planting out the three remaining beds, row D along the fence by Chychy's garden - tomatoes, beans, cukes, etc. Said I'd make her some stakes.
Designing a small front yard garden for a client on Yarmouth Street in the South End. A small space with big challenges, as small spaces often are. Met the client, got a feel for what she needs and likes. Returned to the garden, made a list of all her requirements and preferences, then started sketching in my notebook. Need to go back by and spend some time with the site, measure it carefully, do a dimensioned field sketch, check the soil and underground structures of some sort coming out from the building, then do a scaled drawing using EazyDraw.
