Yes, it takes a few years to know where the time gaps are in bloom times. My gardens are far from complete and quite a bit less than spectacular, though I hope, one day they will be.

I took a few years off from flower gardening (boring story) and they had to take care of themselves. Survival of the fittest, as it were, or natural selection. Also, I lost a lot of nice plants, what with DH's refusal to let things get their second leaves before deciding they were weeds and executing them on the spot, if I’m not out there with him. This year, he’s not allowed in there at all :- )

Late last summer I started to rebuild on what was left and went at it more intensively this year. So, they have a long way to go. But, I enjoy it, so it's not work at all.

And I have all the time in the world. I don't spend much time on the house. Vacuum a couple times of week, dust far less often. Bath and kitchen I just keep up with on a day-to-day basis so they never get too bad. I don't craft at all and basically spend 95% of my off work time at home.

Lastly, I don't erect gazebos, or cement giant things I've created into the garden, or disassemble, prep and paint gorgeous scenes on chairs and then reassemble them, all by myself. So, who, may I ask, is asking whom where they get the time? :o) You are a dear and a silly goose, too. (BTW I love geese)

Here's Meeks being a silly guy today on the couch during one of our AC breaks.
