And you did a nice job it seems in he picture. I am literally up to my knees in muc and water and compacted dirt and weeds on the construction site that i call home. I have a deep yearinhg to impose some order and yurf on een just one tiny ocner of the mud hoe ringed by a crawl 0f kuzu and pois0n ivy here. I dont know if you remeber a long time garden colmnist for the Washington Post, Henry Mitchell and his moving memoir One Man's Garden? You brought the book back to me along ith the life and work of this great American gardener. Mitchell opens his book withthe simple explantation that "our garden ws made be doing things we couldnt afford at the wrong time of year." Good for you. i am a horticulturist and i cant imagine not wanting to deal with th grounds and gardens first-= you can always get to the stugf inside, right?
