*I Need a Tissue*

"Due to ongoing repairs, the scent portion of the Kitchen/Fragrance Garden will now be closed."
*SIGH*
My poor plants. I can only hope they make it for next year. It's not the "workers" fault. The back of the house needed some serious repair. I just hope the damage doesn't extend too deeply into the earth. When you make a garden, it's not like you just run out and grab some plants to throw in. Shame, shame if you do! Even if you are a novice, you get what you like, or think is pleasing to the eye or just smells really pretty. This was my scent garden. Right by the back door so you could breathe in the sweet cinnamon of the Pinks and Sweet William. Duck around the bold almost melony scent of the Stargazer Lillies. All as you went in or out the door. Just seconds of delight. This was a new plot. Still has gaps and spots from what worked and didn't work. There was some Solomons Seal planted there initially. I added the rest-though my freesia didn't seem to like it there. I am just hoping that next year it comes back, able to live through the damage. A garden is a work in progress. Not so cliche. It has the gardeners hopes and visions and ego growing in it along with the plants. Mine were a little crushed yesterday, like the plants. Ah, well. I'll clean it up when they are done, tend to it as much as I can. Nurture it as it nurtured me with it's memory stirring scent's and colors.
