Dave, don't despair. Like the garden, you too will re-generate. In your own time, and in your own way. MC

Wow, the photos are great and combined with the narrative, dramatically tell the story of what happened this winter, starting with death and destruction (and hungry tree ants) and then the rebirth of a new garden as Spring approached and then sprung! Beautfully done Dave! Best, Mark Chinitz

I finally saw the presumed lilly-munching culprit the other night. Though I live in a well built-up suburb and wouldn't expect to see one here (I've only seen one other in about two decades), we do in fact have DEER here. ::sigh::

Hello! Have been enjoying your entries, and photos!! This year, absolutely NONE of my tiger lillies was found…all mysteriously disappeared. I had planted over 50…do you think it's rabbits, voles? If so, what do I do? I've heard of a pepper spray. I'm worried they'll eat my beautiful, toweing bearded irises..I have over 40 of those… Any help, I would LOVE!!

I haven't been tracking global warming per se, but it's pretty clear to me that over my lifetime (I'm in my 50's), for the most part winters have become milder and summers have become hotter.

Mme. Isaac Pereire has turned out to be a gem, chock full of large, beautiful, fragrant roses.

Thanks for the kind words, they are much appreciated! When planting Louise Odier, be sure to leave lots of room as she really grows quite large and since I planted things a bit too close together, I'm forever pruning her so she doesn't totally overwhelm her neighbors.
