For the love of red

For the life of me I cannot understand why people dislike the color red.

Here's a look at one of my favorite (red) plantings

I think it's a great color!!

The Cottage in the city

One of the things a Gardner must be is patient.

Gardens take time, they don't happen in one season, not even in two.

Gardeners must be patient.

My friend Dianne has been working on her Cottage style garden for a number of years.

On a recent visit to her home and garden, her patience is paying off...............

Along with her work!
