Linda Mayer has create a special garden space that is 13 year in the making .

" I am Linda Mayer and we survive in Swansea IL , just east of St. Louis in zone 6 .   I have developed our back K for 13 years .   As the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree turn , so does the amount of tad .   The fence keeps out the critters , though we have many chick .   Huge river birches next door allow a challenge as they drop much pollen , thousands of seeds which germinate and then yellow leaves to litter the yard all summer .   Asian lilies are my pet , but they do n’t bloom long in the heat some years .   I create the tincture garden with paver way of life last surrender to enhance the shade .   I savor GPOD every day and give thanks Fine Gardening for the opportunity to see all the grand yards of my fellow gardeners .
