    Well, basically I cleaned out the property line between our yard and the nice little old lady next door. Altho she tends her veggies daily, she doesn't really have the energy to work all the perennial beds between the houses. But it does look a lot better, and I tripled my compost pile!

    Jane, I'm working on your list now...

    You have had yourself well and truly in the gardening-zone, and what a great place it is for forgetting everything else for a while! Bet that glass of wine tasted fantastic as you had your ahhhh moment after a day of sorting out your garden! Love those ahhhh moments! xx

    You're a busy lady. I am loving irises this year. I want to design a whole table around them. Love the color of yours. Have a great holiday
