Yes, I am much better, but vertigo has a way of lingering on and it's been at least 9 weeks now. I was able to garden quite strongly yesterday, but too much movement of my head causes a bit of a dizzy episode!<br /><br />Have a most magnificent Sunday!

Our climate is too dry to grow such dense foilage and now we are in severe drought so we are told to manage our water use wisely. We have to pay for water here, so we use drip systems, etc. When we moved to our cottage 7 yrs ago the yard was dry hard pan dirt. We have slowly planted all of our trees, bushes, grass, flowers, vegetables...and now that the trees are large enough to provide shade we are able to plant more flowers. But our gardens will never ever be as beautifully lush as yours. I love your basket of lettuces. Enjoy planting. xxo KerrieSeawashedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299816851144887705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-62590402765237193182014-05-22T20:37:34.907+01:002014-05-22T20:37:34.907+01:00What a colourful garden you have, i love it!
