I planted Marvel of Four Season lettuce seeds, which are heat tolerant, directly next to the soaker hose so they stay constantly moist. Seeds must never be allowed to dry out. I will divide these seedlings in the next few weeks

A tiny outdoor space was made to feel larger by replacing the lawn with paved paths and a courtyard. New steps replaced a sloping path to the front door. This home now has great street appeal and the courtyard provides a pretty flower filled living space throughout the year. There is even a small vegetable box squeezed in.

Design ideas for a large contemporary drought-tolerant and full sun backyard vegetable garden landscape in San Francisco with decking for summer.

Notice the custom aluminum siding in the upper left hand corner(it is a screen), the tri colored beech tree, the ledgered raised garden beds, gravel surface for the raised vegetable planters, the core ten steel raised vegetable beds, custom in line drip irrigation, the custom built fire glass table, the forty five degree custom belgard pavers, the fragrant plants and the espaliered fruit trees against the back fence.

Now the space is a well organized highly productive organic vegetable garden. The deer no longer can get in and the heavy clay soil is no longer a problem.

Flagstone set on edge raise the vegetable planters for easier access and do not deteriorate like wood planters. An irregular flagstone path provides sturdy access while allowing for low herbs within the joints. Split rail fence with wire mesh keeps out small animals while keeping an open appearance.

Rear garden terraces are framed by forest and lower rain gardens, filled with native birch, willow, fern and iris. Roof drains on the residence and french drains in the lawn terrace fill the space defined by low stone walls. Cypress logs were harvested from nearby river bottoms and milled to create the bridge that connects the terraces. The rain garden extends from forest edge to a large window in the master suite of residence. Photo Credit :Rebecca A O'Neal
