You have a beautiful garden, this is the first time I agree with your reports and I enjoyed it very much. I'm sorry about the pumpkins, but for someone who doesn't have a garden I think it's a great achievement and a beauty 😍 The experience will make you close next year in style, you'll see...
Good luck with that decision between lavender and Hotlips, I do not know which is more delicate, but as you give so much love to all sure everything will be fine, happy weekend 🙏
This is the first year I've tried to grow things properly in my garden, unfortunately with not a lot of success as the slugs ate most of my produce. Hopefully next year will be better
