Your picket fence surrounding your home is “the icing on the cake” and I just love that gate and arbor design and oh, that sweet autumn clematis is beautiful! Do you have any other clematis vines growing in your gardens? I browsed your blogspot off Flowergardengirl’s blog.

Empty nester I will be next year. I am looking forward to it.. I have three children and time for my own interests have been on back burner for too long.

Wanted to know what you think of your autumn clemantis.. it looks great.. I have wanted to try but have heard it is very invasive and can take over..your thoughts??

My garden has lacked attention also but looks ten times worse than yours.But yes periennels save me every time.

I have failed as a gardener this year…oh well there is always next year. I have been thinking of you and wondering how you are coping. Our lives change drastically compared with the lives of men don’t you think?

Robin, Honestly, I think you do more in one hour than I do in a day. Plus I’ll wager that you remember to breathe once in a while too. You’re not alone in feeling like this isn’t the “most productive” year in the garden, but it certainly doesn’t show from your pictures. – Your salad mix is a thing of beauty – why haven’t I done that?

Robin, you have a lot of things to be very proud of. It looks like setting a good foundation for the garden paid off in a big way this year. I hope you get back to your garden when you need to. And I look forward to your new book! Congrats!

Hi Robin, I love the metaphor of the open gate! It works two ways, going out, like Ben, and entering, you coming into a new stage of life. We visited The Citadel once and were struck by the cadets walking in the straight lines, proud and erect making 90 degree turns. A place full of family tradition and great pride. And congrats to you on the book! Your garden still looks wonderful, sometimes it needs us less than we think.

Congratulations on your son entering the Citadel, and for finishing your book. That’s so exciting.

I’ve been where you are, Robin, and it ain’t easy. But you’ll quickly settle into it and you and Harry will love the time you have together with just each other. I love this time in my life.

I really like the ‘wild hair’ look of your Nishiki willow! I know it isn’t supposed to look like that, but hey, I like odd things. LOL.

Your lettuce is gorgeous.
