This is my small urban garden located in the Mission Delores neighborhood of San Francisco. I have gardened this small strip since 2003. Lots has happened here over this period and its current theme in the long border is spring pinks, blues and whites moving into summer reds, yellows and blues.
Some still photos of the long Spring/Summer border.
In 2018, I started maintaining this front cottage garden. It was planted with the typical one-offs that survived our dry summers, that included horrible things like phormiums and loropetalum with the ever present tibochina. But I took on this space for its potential. A single story Victorian with stereotypical San Francisco wood details with the white picket fence.
Now the days have overtaken the night, things have gone boom.
This was taken last year on May 30, peak bloom.
