Accessible Gardening: My garden's a tight space..., 1 by doss

I grew up not too far from Claremont, just closer to the ocean. Pomona is an outstanding college. Seasons here are just subtle. It's the way the shadows change and the length of the light. This photo is of a street just a few blocks from us in the fall. I think that once you are a gardener, different things tell you the time of year. I have lots of perennials, the orange tree blooms, the iris bloom, the daylilies bloom, the dahlias bloom.................. and the winter is quiet and the leaves fall. I have lots of seasons. Many more than four. LOL Believe me, if you were gardening here you would never get bored! You might wish for a break though.

Isn't that a whole lot of the struggle of parenting a teen? Dealing with our sense of betrayal and yet doing the right thing? Handling our concern and worry while understandig they will to make mistakes. Not wanting them to make mistakes?

I'm glad that you will have the SW to talk to. I hope that she/he is a good one.

And it is my garden. And I love every moment of it.
