I'm so happy to hear that your art rooms are almost done!<br />I've been working on trying to organize my work space, but my studio doesn't stay tidy for very long. Sometimes I think a gremlin lives in my home:)<br />Enjoy the summer days my friend! Hope you had the most wonderful Monday and wishing you a terrific Tuesday!<br /><br />Thanks for your kind visit!<br /><br />Hugs, GabyGaby Bee https://www.blogger.com/profile/02995395178887747269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-4845707666977641352011-08-22T16:43:33.483-05:002011-08-22T16:43:33.483-05:00You've had a lot going on this summer, as usua...You've had a lot going on this summer, as usual. I got tired looking at those piles of swaps you organized. As far as the neighbor goes, there isn't much you can do about forcing them to mow their grass. Maybe someone can give them a hint to read your blog-of course that would stir up more than mown grass. LOL. Your garden doesn't look too bad given the intense heat you have had this summer!Healing Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13654497453272680145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-6665011297271448472011-08-22T16:22:32.603-05:002011-08-22T16:22:32.603-05:00that looks like a major undertaking with all of yo...that looks like a major undertaking with all of your swap envies E...kudos to you for taking that on!!!<br /><br />July was brutal on lots of gardens...I know the heat and mosquitoes took the fun out of gardening for me<br /><br />today I have the windows open = YIPPEE (that hasn't happened much of late!)<br />the humidity is low and the sky is blue and clear with some gorgeous white fluffy clouds...ahhh<br /><br />stay cool my friend....the photo of the sun rays shining down remind me of a rainbow shower<br />oxo~*~Patty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-63201542875409115302011-08-22T15:08:10.720-05:002011-08-22T15:08:10.720-05:00Must've been like Christmas!!!

Most of my gardens are made of up drought-resistant native flowers and grasses, and many can even withstand road salt. So I get lots of bang for practically no work--I do deadhead spent blooms and thin out plants in the Spring, but that's about it.

Cant wait to see what gems you come up with in their! My veg has done poorly this year too, quite disappointing, cabbage didn't do anything much but look at me pathetically all summer, cauliflower grew only small bushels so I did get a bit of that, courgettes or as you call them zucchini I only got 1 out of 12 plants. Beans did ok got enough for 2 people for 1 dinner. My mint plant has gone totally mental though, more mint than you can shake a stick at! My plum tree looks promising this year, it actually has plums on it as opposed to last year's nothing at all. Apples also doing well this year, they both wont be ready for a few more weeks though.<br /><br />Sorry your neighbours garden sucks, bright side is, it makes yours look better than you think!
