Prepping for the tour

Mark and I each have a long list of things to do to get ready for Sunday's tour of our garden. When a group from the East Coast is visiting public and private gardens in the Midwest, you want to make the experience worth the trip. From a distance everything looks lovely but up close there's weeding to do, pine needle paths to refresh, sod to be laid and any number of other tasks. So I'm taking a break from the blog until next week. The weather is perfect this morning and time's a wasting.

I know the people will be enchanted with your garden Linda. Don't work too hard so you can enjoy your tourists.

Remember to take photos and share. Something I always forget to do. Hope the day is a beautiful one and most of all that you have fun.

Try to enjoy the prep as much as the visit - hard to do, I know. Keep it real and don't overdo - you have a beautiful garden.

Best wishes with the prep work, Linda! I know your garden is going to impress your visitors. I hope you'll share "after" photos with us when you surface following the tour.

Hope the prep and event go smoothly. Your garden is worth a trip to see! Best.

We are working a bit overtime. But we tend to use a tour like this as the impetus to finally do all those projects we've been talking about. So we laid new sod in one spot, refreshed all the pine needle paths, etc.
