  3. Incredible, how quickly you've made a beautiful garden! Everything is gorgeous. Here in Piedmont NC, my flowers are just beginning to bloom. Is it your rain?

    1. I think it is the cool nights as well as the rain (although it hasn't rained much lately!)

  4. I recall that recently, you said that you didn't really have a garden yet. Are you sure about that? Everything looks great Philip, it's coming along nicely!

  5. I knew it would be gorgeous! One of the things that impressed me most about that region of the country is the colorful summer gardens. Love the fuchsia!

  6. Very cool. It looks like a well established garden. This is the first season that you get to see the garden in all its glory and possibilities: take inventory of plants you many not have known you had. Exciting.
