To suggest explanation for such along lapse posting here would begin just after we returned from Indonesia... to a garden devastated by the intervening weather. That was but a harbinger of what was to come: wet, wet, wet... wet dragging into the muck of more wet. To walk, much less work, on the garden soil. would predictably begin a mud wallow!
It was too easy to dance with depression. I'd been spoiled by the several recent winters when, upon coming home from tropical holidays, I could play in the garden early on. Such a head start was not to be this year... the weather only began to turn springlike a few days before the Art Studio Tour in early [first two weekends] May.
We did present ourselves well, both studio & garden, yet in that scramble to become "presentable" there were many weeds ignored...
Since getting to my studio involves walking down into & through the garden from either gate, we consider those weekends to be our own version of the garden tour, which is often suggested to us. No, we are too fragile for so many tromping feet... much as we enjoy being those in the gardens which do opt for such exposure.

We did visit all of the five of the gardens on the VCA Garden Tour this year...
