Summer blues.

A baby, two classes and weeks and weeks of rain have turned my beautiful spring garden into a late summer nightmare. It seems that the only consistent theme in my garden is rapid redoing. I have a very very long list of to do's that will (maybe) never get done. I have lovely images in my head of lazily laying in the hammock on a rock bed next to my peaceful fountain watching butterflies flit from one flower to another. Each year my plans get scrapped for reality and I end up having to start all over. When the rain started this year I was so excited. NO drought, Yeah! I harvested a few peas and some chard and lettuce, cool. However, the weeds have taken up permanent residence and I am not having to rethink the garden, AGAIN. So, my mantra has become make it smaller, simpler, less labor intensive. I will be planting more perennials than I ever thought i would.We are shooting for good cut flowers and lots of rock. I already have a good basic plan. I just need to have something a little easier to maintain.
