I’m so bummed that you & I missed the Art Institute garden when we were there! Ah, well, another visit to Chicago someday wouldn’t be a bad thing at all!

Good luck ripping out those Oriental poppies. They come back from the roots.

Your garden sounds fab, IG. Wish I could see pictures of it. I would have loved to see those yellow iris and orange poppies.

It is lush here as well! So much fun meeting you in Chicago. I hope it is just the beginning of many future memories. I actually have fruit on a couple espaliered apple trees. They are certainly of an age to fruit but I am a vicious pruner and get that job done whenever I have the time. As a result, these trees are largely ornamental but this year, fruit!

It sounds like you do have a perfect place for those squash to grow. You will be amazed at how quickly they start producing squash. Be sure and pick them small for best taste. And congrats on the espaliered fruit trees. I didn’t know you lusted after them!
