Gardens are a tricky business. Do I go English or do I go French. Do I raise vegetables, flowers, vegetables and flowers, or do I stick to lawns, shrubberies, and trees. Landscaping a dreamhouse is tough to do!

The answer of course is, do it all! I love fresh vegetables. Homegrown are the best (when they come from YOUR home) because work went into, they have more value, and even though its just psychological, anyone who's grown their own vegetables will tell you they just taste better. Of course, I want my yard to be lovely, and vegetable gardens aren't....well they're not parisian in any sense.

So I've decided to make myself a greenhouse. It will be a long walk to the greenhouse, a stroll through the rest of my lush backyard to the sacred place of my vegetables. The greenhouse does not need to be large, I would call it quaint,  just enough for some patches of greens and tomatoes, nothing tricky.

The rest of my yard would be in the French style of gardening. I just like angles and lines. I guess I first got the idea from the museum of art in Los Angeles, the bushes were clasically hedged in those brick and conical patterns, they formed a sort of maze. Speaking of which...

The center of my garden would be a labyrinth. A labyrinth isn't technically a maze. It is simply a path that wind in and out of a circle. There are no dead ends, just a lovely stroll, a great place to develop abs on a high fat diet, and my dream backyard.

In health news, I found a good way on how to deal with stress is to increase one's orac value. Or so I've been told.
