THIS! I had my garden on tour this summer and wrote about it a couple of posts ago. I'll never do another plant specific tour again. I want plant people in my garden who care about the entire thing. Congratulations on your book deal! I'll be first in line to read it. You know what a fan I am. Your garden is lovely this year. Keep having fun Matt. I loved this post. I remember when I "retired" from being a legal assistant to raise my children, and I had that same feeling. It was like being let out of school for summer. A lifetime of summer vacation even though we still work. ~~Dee
