My new article

I have an article in the April issue of Alabama Gardener. It is a garden profile of John and Lynn Ingwersen's garden in Killen, Alabama (just outside of Florence).

Here are a few photos that I took of their garden last year (some of these appear in the article, some don't) -

    Congratulations on the article, Phillip! I like the vegetable garden with the rosemary and brick edging around the corn... guess those are chives flowering? It looks like a good place to spend time.

    Thanks Wayne!

    Yolanda, thanks for visiting - please come again.

    Gail, my full time job is librarian. Writing about and photographing gardens is a new venture, just something to do on the side. Maybe I can retire early and have this to fall back on. It is sure more fun than my full time work.
