Busted!





If I hadn't overslept this morning I wouldn't have caught this little devil, the culprit of the bare patches in my front lawn.  I have been wondering for days now why these patches keep getting bigger in spite of all the money I'm spending on getting the lawn weed free.  Well, it turns out that Mr. Bunny has set camp inside the bushes that surround the cherry trees, just a couple of hops from the grass.  And he doesn't just pick here and there, he grabs huge chunks!








Look at that chunk!








In the meantime, the squirrels were continuing their feast under my neighbors's oak trees!




....and I am standing in the front door, in my nightgown, taking pictures and shoooing a rabbit.


Of course, none of this would happen if I were allowed to patrol the front yard....

Planning Your Garden With An Expert



How would you like to have a professional garden designer help you plan your garden? And by professional,  I don't mean just any professional,  but one whose garden designs have been profiled in cover stories by Southern Living and Atlanta Magazine’s Home and whose work has been photographed and highlighted in such notable media outlets as Better Homes & Gardens, Southern Living, and HGTV.

An avid plant collector and gardener herself, Sandra Jonas has been designing noteworthy landscapes for over 20 years, from residential gardens of all types to public parks, cemeteries, and restorations of historic sites.    Fortunately for all of us, she publishes the blog Recreating Eden in which she shares her extensive knowledge and experience.

Well, this nice and accomplished lady happens to be my friend.  I have never met her in person but we have exchanged enough emails and posts to make it officially so,  You see, she plants and I cook...it's kind of a symbiotic  relationship,  but it works.  Last year we were supposed to meet,  but illnesses in our respective families prevented us from doing so.  Not so this year, for I don't care how far I have to drive to meet this fabulous lady and see her potager.

If you want to join Sandra and me while we plant and cook, check out her latest post on preparing the soil for your vegetable garden.

Oh, and by the way, she used to be a model...a real knockout!


The dead flowers are still on the hydrangeas while the new growth has started to come in

Can't wait to get my hands on these...
