Again, if anyone knows where I can score some see of Cuphea viscosissima, let me know! ( that means you too – savvy growers at Berkshire Botanic Gardens!) I'll trade something!

Add to the tenets that what grows in the cool north is not always successful in the hot sun of the south, so adjustments are necessary in color and growing season, a lesson that was difficult for me.

I am not a designer at all, having taken growing as my horticultural education; but I do appreciate those guides as being helpful to creating a successful garden.

And of course, there are the peas. They always help!

I was at a client's house today going over with them the things that worked and making suggestions to replace things that didn't.

As an art form a garden is ever changing and never quite finished. I think that is why it appeals to me.
