		<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[I have mixed feelings about fall and the coming winter. I wander the garden and yard looking at the carpet of wet leaves. They would be a lot more beautiful if they would just voluntarily hop right into those bags for composting. They have nearly all fallen now except the two zelkovas, which stubbornly hold [...]]]></description>

First there was the earthquake that sent me darting out the front door with the little dogs in my wake for fear that the computer cabinet was going to topple right onto my lap. Then there were tornadoes raging around [...]]]></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[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>

		<description><![CDATA[Here it is September 12. The air conditioner is off and the windows are open&#8212;at least when it&#8217;s not too chilly anyway. I spent the afternoon rotating out the summer clothes and bringing out the sweaters and long pants. Where did summer go? My blog here at Bumblebee has been quiet. That&#8217;s not because I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every since I heard that my local friend Kirsti has successfully grown and harvested as many as 12 artichokes a season in her small garden, I&#8217;ve been having serious artichoke envy. For several years in my younger days I lived in California not so far from Castroville, a major hub of artichoke activity. Before I [...]]]></description>
