How does your garden grow?
As with every year, by the end of August my gardens and pots look pretty much to terrible. I think I'm ready to admit that I'm not much of a gardener. I've looked at all of the possible reasons, and I've come up with three:
1. I don't know much about gardening.
2. I am forgetful.
3. I am somewhat lazy.
The can work on the first two, but the last one on the list pretty much solidifies that I won't. So, instead of looking at my parched flower beds and plants that look like dried sticks in pots, let's feast our eyes on the work of a true gardener - Mrs. Kathleen O'Brien.

Did she happen to tell you her garden is on an ancient Indian burial ground? Not fair! Even for us with black thumbs.

Thank you, my garden is starting to look pretty rough too! By this time of the year I am so done with weeding, etc. and just enjoying the tomatoes and herbs! Good to see you are using your full name S. Kathleen!
