Where did the summer go? 1

It cannot possibly be October! My best intentions to be a better blogger obviously did not pan out. Better late than never. We had two terrific vacations, one to the east coast and one to the mid west, and worked very hard on the garden.


Willow enjoyed the catnip (courtesy of Islandwood's garden) to death. Literally. Now he just goes next door to the neighbors patch. Except that he just had to have an abscess drained. That plus his foot boo boo from earlier this year have landed him on permanent house arrest. I will have to experiment with indoor catnip growing.


Here is Jeff planting a witch hazel way back in February just to give you a feel for how desolate things were.

Below are a series of pictures of the same areas (sometimes from different viewpoints) at different times to show how things have grown.



OK - the deal is that I can only get 4 pictures at time into a post. It is rather a pain, but you will just have to follow going backward from "Where did summer go? 1" through to 4.
