Another week, another cross-country trip!  Although our recent trip to Niagara Falls was delightful and the weather was nearly perfect, I am SO GLAD to be home for a while! 





The view from our room
was spectacular!







We are officially into summer now that school is out!  The actual Summer Solstice isn't until June 22, but we know summer comes to Houston early.  That means that your early spring plants can now exit to make way for fresh summer color -- if they haven't already.  Containers are the way to go with succulents, annuals and herbs for warmer weather.  Check out our new summer Plant Pies to create an instant container masterpiece!

Don't forget Dads' Day, this Sunday, June 16.  Think outside the tie box!
We have assembled an array of super gift ideas to make your shopping easier.  Lots of cool stuff that just about any father would appreciate.   And Gift Cards are always a welcome surprise. 

We have begun a new series of blog posts for your enjoyment.  Check out the latest post about Plumbago, which happens to be our Perennial of the Week. Then, scroll down the right-hand column of the blog page for more new posts. We hope you like them.  We invite your comments! 

Peaceful gardening,
