Arrow head lettuce




I had to try the topsy turvy.
Sadly the only place to put it is on
a tree limb because the thing
is so heavy

Lilacs, Dogwood Tree, Yellow Tulips, Peonies and My Garden Art




"I shall never have the garden I have in mind, but 
that for for me is the joy of it. 

Certain things can never be realized 
and so all the more reason to attempt 
them. 

A garden no matter how good it is,
 must never completely satisfy".
