" My name is Jeff Nelson and I survive in San Jose , California . Believe it or not , this garden is one year one-time . I used to live in a condo with a small yard , with lots of containers . When I finally had a prospect to purchase a house I was capable to constitute all my matured flora into the ground . I ’m a big believer in good soil so when I move in , I had 15 yards of compost take in to improve the soil . The flora sure seemed to have appreciated their new home and upright soil . "
