        <media:title>Yard reinvention</media:title>
        <media:description><![CDATA[When Ketzel Levine bought her North Portland bungalow in 2000, it had everything—almost. “What I really wanted was a backyard, and the house didn’t have one,” Ketzel  says. What she got instead was an exposed front yard with predictable twin patches of lawn on either side of a straight concrete path. So the journalist—you may know her from National Public Radio, where she was called the Doyenne of Dirt—reinvented the front yard for relaxing, entertaining, and expressing her vivid personality. “I’m not a very conservative person,” she says. “There’s nothing predictable about my life.” After enclosing the yard with a mostly see-through fence and ditching the lawn, Ketzel created a playful garden that’s an escape from the busy street just steps away. “When I walk through the gate, I feel cosseted by beauty,” she says. ]]></media:description>

        <media:title>Meet the gardeners</media:title>
        <media:description><![CDATA[When Diane Cu and Todd Porter bought their home in Costa Mesa, California, they immediately set out to do a serious makeover on the 1/4-acre backyard. The foodie couple wanted an orchard of citrus trees, where presumably the juice would flow from fruit to kitchen. “Citrus is important in every cuisine. That bite of acidity brightens food,” Diane explains. But different cuisines use different types. “We wanted access to things like kaffir [aka kieffer] limes for Thai dishes and yuzu for Japanese ones.” They started planting within days of moving in, eight years ago. Today, recipes and gardening tips go on their popular White on Rice Couple blog  ( whiteonricecouple.com ) , which they started in 2008. The two are certainly at zero risk for scurvy, with 21 vitamin C–bearing trees producing, Todd estimates, 600 pounds of citrus per year. But 600 pounds is a lot for two. So they started an informal citrus club—a way to connect with friends, using their copious yield. “We invite a bunch of people, hand them all brown paper bags, and send them to ‘the farmyard’ to fill up,” Diane says. That’s where 15 types of citrus trees grow, from Eureka lemons to ‘Buddha’s Hand’. Next is a sit-down meal inspired by the citrus in season. Friends leave with recipes and, as long as they’re locals, a bag of fruit (parts of Southern California and Arizona are under quarantine;  see   sunset.com/citrus-pest ). “Citrus is a crop that carries a certain aura of glamour,” Diane says. “And it cheers everyone up, especially in winter.” ]]></media:description>
