It ’s that time again – time to practice what I preach and portion out some photos of my OWN garden ! My married man Rob ( rwotzak ) and I have been work our behinds off this leap , getting the garden ready for visits from family and for a garden babe cascade we had last weekend for some near friends , and while it still feels very rough around the edge to me ( damned weeds ! ) , it ’s in about as good a configuration as it can be for early summer photos .

Keep in thinker that the containers have not make full in yet – I so admire people who bone plants in from the beginning and do n’t have to wait for things to replete in , but I just ca n’t do it … .I feel as if I ’m torture their roots ! So I give every plant its space and wait patiently for them all to knit themselves together and grow up . Much more info in the caption … .. revel !

      • SEE ? I DID IT , SO NOW you could , TOO ! ! Dig out your tv camera , take a full-grown recollective walk around your garden , and SEND ME exposure ! Thanks ! ! * * *
