Today ’s photos are from Sue Elicker in Mechanicsburg , Pennsylvania . She says,“One of the first things I do everyday is check out your latest garden . My baby Janet in Cincinnati was sport a few months ago and has been encourage me to also put forward pictures .
I have been working on this garden my whole married life ( 46 geezerhood ) and always want to ameliorate and change it . My favorite time of the sidereal day is dayspring coffee time on the deck thinking about what I can change that 24-hour interval ! I strike out 3 class ago ( after 31 years with an insurance company ) and horticulture has read on a whole new meaning .
One of the fringe benefit is pass my erotic love for gardening on to my 8 grandchildren . They are very concerned and I permit them foot all the flowers they want ( this recoil once as my one granddaughter was confabulate a friends house and helped herself in their garden ) . I also sleep together the boo and they are picking up on that , too . They like to bribe me lots of hummingbird present .

My husband has just lately gone part time ( after 51 eld with the same company ) and I have been adjudicate to include him in the process . He is sometimes too eager , as I tend to be indecisive . I have been reading Fine Gardening since the 90s and have saved them all for character . It is the only gardening powder store I ’ve ever needed ! ”
Aw , thanks Sue ! Can I just say that I am DROOLING over that tricolour beech ? ? That is beautiful ! I love your garden . It ’s obviously a proletariat of making love – so personal and packed with charm and flowers . Thanks so much for sharing it with us !
