I have come to know myself...rules cannot be kept. Yip, the gown looks familiar, goodies for the house and garden definitely come before purchasing clothes. Right now our Summer is in full swing. Rain showers, wisteria, beautiful roses, the sweet smell of gladiola's and edible berries. Oh if I could only get my hands one one of those yellow raspberry bushes. I have never seen those before. We have a gorgeous prolific black berry hedge and our red raspberries are just starting to fruit. Our peaches, apricots and fig trees are full of fruit too. I am in garden heaven..I have planted some more sun flowers in our sunflower house spot...I am really looking forward to seeing those blooms.<br /><br />Sharon a lovely post. I say BREAK THE RULES~!

I was just beginning my journey down the gardening path and it scared me so much that I NEVER garden without gloves! So even if you don't listen to your own advice, know that I DO! Your story scared the wits out of me!<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving, my friend.

Your rules were understandable but not necessary since everything you do in the garden is working and doesn't need changing one bit. Oh my goodness, i love your garden.

How delightful it must be to walk out of your home and spend hours in that nice warm sunny space. And the farmer's market was just something else to see pictures of at this time of year. Loved the dragon's tongue beans, how pretty! (Thanks for the shout out on here, you really do inspire me so much!)

I miss it horribly, but here in town I am closer to family and everything else. <br /><br />I wasn't crazy about living here and felt like a country hen stranded on a skyscraper. My sweet husband Jeff got tired of me being homesick (after all, I WAS home), and griping about trying to garden in town. He said, "Practice what you preach. You always tell people they can create a garden paradise wherever they live...so just do it!<br />That's what I am trying to do here... In the city, a stone's throw from a highway, surrounded by houses. In early January look for the spring issue of Country Gardens Magazine, which will feature an 8 page article<br />about my gardens. Also will have images available on their web site.<br /><br />All joys!<br /><br />SharonSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-64033490510151098432010-11-23T08:34:01.877-08:002010-11-23T08:34:01.877-08:00Oh, to be able to garden throughout the winter!

And clay pots are wonderful, aren't they? Beautiful and simple. <br />Your berry photo is stunning. It's cold in Denver and my fairy garden is resting, but I feel sure the fairies are tucked in cozy earthen homes, getting ready for December.

We always stop at Nepenthe's to enjoy the spectacular view, eat an Ambrosia burger and those ridiculous big basket of fries. When we arrive in Cambria, we wander around the antique shops and out to Linn's country market. We grow olallieberries that we bought while in Cambria. Can you tell how much I love that area? It's only a 2-hour beautiful drive. I feel so blessed to live in California!Foodiewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071730074240565916noreply@blogger.com
