Before heading to the beach, Ed got the Fishingham Garden greenhouse put together. Our small, city garden really only allows for the tiny Outsunny greenhouse to be used for protecting some plants in winter and encouraging starts in spring.

When planning the Fishingham Garden for the coming year, I try to take the time to review what bloomed the previous 12 months. The following is a collection of most of the white blooms found in our garden in 2024.

So, this is what the Fishingham Garden looks like in winter. Well, not necessarily - but we are getting ready to install a SMALL greenhouse. It’s not the greenhouse I originally designed. It is what it is when health issues get in the way of great plans.

The Berberis thunbergii ‘Orange Rocket’ is certainly doing its thing above the Fishingham Garden retaining wall on a cold fall day.

These Fishingham Garden photos represent the “garden” as it was when we moved into the house in 1997, the garden improvements of the early 2000s and the garden as it looked in the summer of 2024.
