The Inconstant Gardener

So - I'm off to Uganda for over a week. I can't believe I won't see my garden for that long (and I can't believe I'm actually melancholy about that).

A few weeks ago, someone recommended I take a picture of the whole garden so I can see the change over time. So here are two shots, front and side:





On a less macro scale, here's the new eggplant flower:



I spent several minutes today, as I often do, trying to figure out if any of the tons of morning-glories I planted had sprouted. A few minutes later, I heard Cynthia, a long-term gardener, walk past me muttering, "I can't believe how much morning-glory I had to pull out of the front area." Turns out it usually grows so much that people consider it a weed. I don't know if that's humbling (I can't even grow a weed!) or a benefit in disguise (I didn't accidentally grow a weed!).

Will miss you all almost as much as my plants.
