If the garden across the street is to have another banner year, this must be it. Gardening is, after all, kind of my only job right now. Since my last post, I have spent at least a half hour over there every day, pruning, weeding, raking, and making piles of debris. I'm trying not to burn out; there's still a lot to do.

The previous owner of our house, who was, among other
things, a crack gardener, must have abandoned the garden as soon as we signed
the contract to buy the property. She had endured some tragic circumstances, so
it was understandable. Every spring since we moved here (this is the fourth), I
have attacked the project of rehabilitating this garden. |
