Today ’s photograph are from Donna Jones in Santa Rosa , California . She says,“We have slowly removed lawn to make a raised layer garden , a niggling red hen house , and a garden full of hydrangeas , perennials , and other flowers . So much more productive and fun than the old lawn ! I have a blog atwww.theradishpatch.comwhere we share our garden risky venture . There ’s nothing better than sharing the passion of horticulture ! ”

True , Donna . And your garden is LOVELY !

        • The pushing is still on – get outdoors and take some last minute shot , or amass a few you took earlier in the season . I ’ll be eternally grateful … . Email them to[email   protect ] . Thanks ! * * * *
