End of summer

Well fall's here. So ends the emergency watering season and time to get down to work! The next few months should be full of weeding, transplanting, uprooting, planting, planning and putting beds to rest. Not to mention development of the body overseeing the gardens. If I haven't previously mentioned it, the gardens have expanded to about 10,000 square feet! And some areas are not looking too hot at the moment.

As we move into fall, here are a few flattering photos of the garden from this summer! Hope it serves as inspiration as we roll up our sleeves and get all the gardens up to snuff!
These look like a bouquet together!
Here are some black hollyhocks that I planted a few years ago. I bought the seeds from the UK on Ebay and they finally came up this year!

looking great, as per! ...wondering if you have small signage in any of the gardens...people that visit or donate could log on to this site to leave comments, sign a guest book, or reach you with donations...maybe even painted on one of the boulders??? ...they do have to be able to find you to give you your Nobel Prize, you know! You rock! Love, j.
