Planting And Pruning

The First Sergeant (hubby) spent the long weekend planting a few new plants around the garden. Meanwhile I took on the job of pruning back one of the overgrown Rose of Sharon bushes.
His mission was a much prettier one to share than mine.......

" All gardeners know that in some way they work out their problems in the garden.

There is no mystery to it.

They are simply following Nature's laws.

Planting a garden is an act of optimism."

~ Marilyn Barrett, Creating Eden
