Whenever some one comes to visit , they leave with a bag full of perennials or cuttings. Seems I always have clippers or a shovel in my hand or pocket.
Sharing the garden? Our yard is small so when our friends start playing with the bocci balls, I know some of my annuals are going to get smushed!! I don't yell at them, so I'm thinking that's pretty generous on my part....
Guests always want to stroll in the gardens and visit and look. Most summer days and evenings we naturally move the seating and eating events to the patio area. We have a large market umbrella to add shade, we barbeque and relax looking out upon the rock buttes and closer up - my gardens.
