Yesterday was a wash as far as photographing the garden, and I missed quite a few good ones. The family visited relatives upstate, though, and it really was a very nice day despite missing out on:

Life has had me overly occupied for the past several days, so this is the first Garden Journal update for the week. Thanks for your patience!

I caught myself against the porch [Click title to read post ...]
