Our gardens are doing great! So far. If you don’t count the heat, the Japanese beetles… and the murders!

Life is growing fast and furious in our gardens and we are applying water like we are applying for a job. Edith loves her loveage. Christy is at peace with her peace rose. Edith is plum crazy about her plum tree. Christy is thinks Edith’s peach tree harvest is going to be… peachy keen. :)

We sure had fun recording this episode – and hope you can join in the laughter, while learning a thing or two. So put on your headphones, head out into your garden and enjoy!
