One of the things that amazed me(other than the garden) during my recent visit to Pamela Harper's , was the fact that she still does most of the work herself. She does have a paid helper come in once a week to do the things she can't, but still it is a lot to keep up with. I guess dedication counts for something.

Aging with the garden is something I think about quite a lot. It's led me to go back and forth about which aspect of my gardening is most important to me if I had to choose: the flowers or the vegetables. Right now I'm coming down on the side of vegetables. Since my garden is rather disheveled now compared to 10 years ago, I'm already adjusting to lower levels of energy and strength.

This is information that would be extremely useful for designers, I think, because most of my clients are not gardeners and don't want to be. But they still want beautiful landscaping. Low-maintenance is the key.

And I only wish my mature live oak trees were low-maintenance. Alas, many live oaks sucker from the roots ALL the time, and I'm always out trying to pull those up.

I am beginning to look at my garden with older eyes. I can still do it all but I now think about what I do as to how much work it will be later. This is a book I will have to have.
