THanks John. I know, for whatever reason, I just never get a chance to post here anymore. I promise that I will try more. I think that it’s because Im not stuck in an office anymore bored stiff! Plus, Im writing for other projects, and then there is this whole new WordPress platform to learn now that I moved my blog from Blogger!

Hi Mary. Thank you! I just saw this so sorry for the delay. I’ll send you a copy of it now, no worries about credit. I’m a big fan of your group, you know that! Matt

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope you and Joe are well. I miss your posts although I continue reading backwards. I am in spring 2012 now. You continue to inspire me in these odd times. I mentioned this to my best garden buddy and former acupuncturist who I took a walk with today. I have not seen her since February and it was healing even without the needles to walk around and talk about our lives and garden plans on a cold late December morning.

Cheers!
John

🙂 I hope one day you (and we all) will be able to travel again safely and visit all kind of different places. I think I have visited Lithuania when I was small, but I don’t remember much about it, just that the people were nice and friendly :)… You are most welcome to Estonia, whenever it will be possible for you to come!

Of course, I know you are right Dee. But I fear that not all garden tour people are like you and I – especially if they pay for it. THe Garden Conserancy has high standards, and while I know they are trying to relate to more everyday gardeners, Im not convinced that their audience is just yet. I may be wrong, but it’s on my mind.

Thanks Tracy. I appreciate you saying this. I still don’t know. It’s really not tour worthy – at least for folks who expect to see an estate or a tidy garden. Im just not sure how they will feel if they pay to see it. Ugh, I just don’t know.
