Welcome to my garden blog. I have created this blog primarily for myself in order to chronicle the development of my garden, but I hope that you can enjoy watching it grow as much as I will.
I lived at my old house for four years and I never did any landscaping. We had a yard with great potential, but since I knew we weren’t going to be there for a great length of time I never got around to doing anything. I drew out several plans, but they were never realized. I regret that nothing happened until we sold the house.
Now I’m in my new house and I will be here for awhile, so I have drawn out my plans and I hope to bring them to fruition over the next several years. Progress will be slow, as gardening can be quite expensive, but slowly and surely I will transform my garden into a paradise.
As for the name of my blog, I’m sure it will change and evolve as time progresses, just as a garden does. I’m a bit of a nerd, so of course I am enamored with all things Tolkien. In my mind the Shire is a gardening paradise, so what better namesake for my blog?
