Kevin Kelly ’s garden is always impressive , even during this ambitious summer .
" We are well into summer in Harrisburg , PA , and the last few calendar week have been problematic . Temps in the 90 ’s and very humid . Just got our first electrical storm with rain on Monday Nox . I have been melt down around rescuing flora with needed pee . Much of my pain is self inflicted . As we all jazz , the secure part of horticulture is edit and redesigning . I added another 12 conifers , mostly dwarfs to my collection ( which has now reached 130 conifers on my 0.44 Akka property ) . Also added 5 Japanese maples and another 60 perennial , in addition to moving about 30 plants this springtime . It was fun then , but now I fear the extra pee duties until they to the full settle . cerebration I would share some summertime painting . Hope you enjoy . "
