My garden fell into disarray when my marriage ended. But I have kept my back deck filled with pots and exotic plants. At least I can enjoy that. And tomatoes love the heat there.
I used to have hundreds of bulbs and this fall will plant more of those again. Over the winter I will plan for new perennials and perhaps another fruit tree or two.
Now that the house is mine, I feel like putting an effort into the yard is worth while.
