I once had a very large garden on our ranch but am now starting anew since we've moved to town. It's been a long time since my senses have been filled up this way and I can just imagine the intoxicating scents that must fill the air of your lovely surroundings. Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing all the beauty of your surroundings!

I've wondered about how long you've had the garden - how you learned - how you keep up with it and this gives me a glimpse.<br /><br />Patrick Lima's book was my first gardening book. I've had it for twenty years. It's my gardening bible! =] Oh, but, this year, it got left out in the rain.... it's still good, though. I think, now, it's real - like the Velveteen rabbit. ;)<br /><br />No, this post wasn't too long at all. In fact, it was incredibly encouraging to me to just keep chipping away at it. I moved so much around, this year, in my second year border and started so many, too. I've been out there nonstop, it seems. I figure, since it just takes time, I might as well get crackin'! But, I look at the new beds and I'm not completely sure about what I've got going, there. =/<br /><br />Well, we'll be surprised next year, eh? =]<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to post this all up, Carolyn!!!<br /><br />xxoKaty Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972227249393814417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-23826068424131097992012-08-10T16:42:18.503-03:002012-08-10T16:42:18.503-03:00Thank you for giving all these details which all e...Thank you for giving all these details which all enjoyed.
