As a garden designer and student of with an extensive horticultural library and one who's visited countless public and private gardens, arboretums and botanic gardens I have to say - great garden. Great garden that looks a little thirsty and I hope someday a few more ducks, birds and maybe some gnomes settle around the pond. Now and again, I spot a plant I don't know but something in back my head says tobacco. What it is good for I don't know. Must keep away bug or deer and dose have a good architectural foliar present. Great gardens hold their own in winter too and as I remember this one does. However, I'm still in search of and hoping to see the illusive Madona of the mound. Great garden.
thank you, and yes it does have potential to be better. some areas get more water than others, and some areas are grown over with grass and weed. it is definitely a work in progress. I am happy to see my seed trays from march grow into orange prince, marigold, and yes, n. tabacum. They are cigar varietals, I will have to build a simple kiln to sweat them before I can roll them up. In moderation, they are good for relaxation and slowing down. Madonna is still here and was camera shy. I will get a pic in next time. It has been very hot this summer and the plants dry out so fast, it is hard to keep up with them.
