It's lovely properly spring-like weather here at the moment - we've had several gorgeous days in the seventies with no humidity (which is the killer). However, the consequence of this is that the garden's slightly sorry state seems to be a constant reproach. We've done very little since we moved in (a combination of ignorance of the local flora and feeling overwhelmed at the size of the plot), and whilst it still looks presentable, it's nowhere near what it could be. So far, all I've managed is a bit of pruning and general tidying. We have several huge old trees (magnolias, red oaks and pecans, as well as a couple of camphors and crepe myrtles) which keep it from just looking like an unkempt bit of grass, but the lure of more exciting things is very strong.
I'm super keen to have a veggie and herb garden, but not at all sure I've got the wherewithal to keep it together. I think I need to start small...if Michelle Obama can find the time, surely I can.

Thanks for the message. Asking me for advice? Flattery I'm sure! But still, piccies are a good idea - but really, above all, be yourself and enjoy it.
There are things you can do to get more readers - and it's easy enough to find advice on that. I don't bother, but I do try to keep existing readers loyal - by (almost) always responding to their comments.
Regular readers like regular posting - and there's a pay-off between only blogging when you feel like it and that sense of duty demanding that you post something. But I usually find the quality of the post diminishes if I make myself do it.
Sorry - didn't mean to write an essay!
Have fun!
Simon
