What you could do with 19 million...









I just saw that this historic property with lovely gardens is for sale in South Carolina. It is also known as the Medway Plantation which includes 6,728 acres of wooded land, gardens, lakes, and houses, stables and other outbuildings that date back to the 1600's. Anyone have 19 million to spare? I didn't think so. There is also a greenhouse on the property. Maybe they will sell that separately? Medway Plantation property listing here for the serious gardener.

Boxwood Swirls and Twirls Art



I tilled our vegetable garden today and it looks like a blank brown canvas. There is something about the smell of freshly tilled soil that jolts your gardening dreams into high gear. Something tells you that seeds or cuttings need to go into it.I have always wanted to look out a high window onto a knot garden. This week I'm going for it.

My outdoor pots are all of a sudden barren since the frosts took the annuals. Now is when I poke cuttings down into them and wait to see how many take root and find new homes next spring.
