Where is everyone?-
This year, the long skinny garden performed admirably. I loved my California poppies, as always, and they hardly even got all crazy overgrown.

I will NOT be intimidated by the gigantic leaved purple morning glories that overwhelm this area each summer. I will plant delicate beautiful clouds of flowers and reasonable leaved morning glories instead. I will however allow the sunflowers to get as big and ungainly as they like, and let the...
