I garden on a small, urban plot. I m continually torn between my love of Japanese garden aesthetics and my love for every plant I see. So the layout of my garden was inspired by Japanese garden design--a stone \"stream\" that runs along the main path, evergreens grouped and shaped to look like rocks and mountains, an so on. But I ve crammed tons of plants into the garden and it is definitely NOT a Japanese garden. I love dwarf conifers, Japanese maples, bamboo, ferns, hellebores, violas, sempervivums, alliums, and all small and species spring bulbs...and more, and more. I m working on having a spring carpet of Scilla siberica over the entire yard. I ve been gardening here for three years and am happy to see some things naturalizing.
I m also an avid indoor gardener. My current indoor obsession is with hippeastrum (Amaryllis). Last winter, I tried hybridizing these plants; now I have 16 com pots full of seedlings. I m trying to keep my cats from chewing them to bits. I force a lot of hardy bulbs in the refrigerator, much to my husband s dismay.
