		<description><![CDATA[For most folks, when friends come to visit for a couple of days they&#8217;ll send a little note of thanks when they get home. When your friend is a garden blogger, they&#8217;ll blog about your garden. My friend and English garden tour travel partner, Layanee, did just that, posting about my garden here on her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now, these aren&#8217;t really garden photos, but they do illustrate an important vantage point that we see from the garden. The first photo is looking from our back yard into what we call the Back Forty. The Back Forty is a sort of weedy, semi-wilderness area that we keep cut so that the wild critters [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes when I look at photos of my garden I think, &#8220;Hey, that looks pretty good.&#8221; This isn&#8217;t one of those times. I don&#8217;t know why, but it seems that for all the work I&#8217;ve been putting in, the flowers just aren&#8217;t cooperating. Things don&#8217;t look as full as I want. The grass isn&#8217;t green [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There have been springs when we have been deluged with rain. There have been years when I was already hauling hoses in May. But this year we&#8217;ve been fortunate to have just the right amount of rain&#8212;not too much and not too little. I think the purple stuff here likes it too. Maybe we have been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Way back in 2007 I cataloged nine months of photos in the potager. I spent the next three years kicking myself for forgetting to do it again. I would get so wrapped up March cleanup, April and May planting, June maintenance and, well, life that I would forget all about taking those documentary photos. I [...]]]></description>

I have one single photo in it, but it&#8217;s an important one&#8212;a shot of where we&#8217;ll be creating a woodland garden. Out of necessity came opportunity. We had the local tree guys out to take down a large tulip tree that [...]]]></description>

Because it seems as if I have less time than ever and I&#8217;m wondering what I&#8217;m doing wrong. Work has been very busy lately, which has put a cap on the amount of time I can spend in the garden. But it is [...]]]></description>

There just isn&#8217;t enough time to clean it all up! I don&#8217;t have enough energy for all of this! Everything [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I set off quite a stir with my guest post at Garden Rant. I have a love for over-stating things and I suppose I over-stated one too many times. Boy, am I taking a beating! I feel badly that so many people thought I was taking aim them for having some weeds in the garden. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does anyone do hospitality better than Southerners? Perhaps. But I can&#8217;t think of who right now because last week I was in Davidson, NC, speaking at the Davidson Horticultural Symposium where the members of the Davidson Garden Club rolled out the red carpet. It&#8217;s very fresh in my mind. And, oh my! I was there as [...]]]></description>
