John’s Garden in Wisconsin

Today ’s photo are from John Suess in Milwaukee , Wisconsin . He says,“My wife Mary and I are 62 and 65 respectively , and are recede librarians who have lived in Milwaukee all our lifetime . We have lived in our home about 17 years now .

“ When we first moved in there was only supergrass and a little chemical group of evergreens in the front along with a few large trees . Over the first few years I manually removed the grass ( if I had to do it over I would have rented a machine ) and create a prairie garden which naturally expanded as the age went by .

“ The chief tree in back died a few years back and that made us revamp and boom . Our backyard is now themed for small land covers ; that has been in the body of work for about 2 year now . Our front yard was expand several time and is up for a local awarding this yr . Many of the grasses are still thriving but I have been remove things and bestow things here and there for years .

“ This saltation my daughter ( we serve here with her garden as well ) call for if I ever just sit down and relax and savour the garden I ’ve made . So I adjudicate that one early evening with a cocktail in hand and our computed axial tomography Hogan under the bench . I suppose within 5 minute I saw a few thing – a fade heyday or a weed – and eventually I was out there weeding and deadheading . So I infer I love working the garden more and letting others bask the viewing it . ”

John , you made me laugh out loud with your lilliputian relaxing experimentation gone wonky . So shady ! Your garden reflects your worker - bee nature . It ’s beautiful !
