It has been a few months since the last newsletter and while the world may be going to heck in a handbasket, our gardens are still here asking for little but providing lots. I have a rather small garden, (I refer to it as compact), but it is amazing the number of plants I can stuff into it. In fact, according to many books, I don’t provide sufficient room for each plant. Hogwash, I say, they will figure it out.

The Month is June, The Year is 2021 and Summer is here

“Deep summer is where laziness finds respectability.” Sam Keen

Sam Keen is a wonderful American author and philosopher whose quote about the lazy days of summer made me go through my photo archives. I recall this anonymous reader at the Botanical Garden at the University of Georgia. She demonstrates a perfect combination of summer, laziness and respectability.
