I love that garden you visited (almost as much as the Blithewold gardens). So much to inspire me. Thanks for the wonderful photographs and captions. <em>Thank you, Jared! I hope to be spending some time (virtually that is) at Pleasant Hill this weekend - inspiration works both ways. -kris</em> What a fantastic post!

Here is some info: http://www.gardenet.com.au/pests/insects/bbeetle.htm <em>Thank you, Chookie - they definitely look similar! I wonder if we have that same exact beetle here or just a relative? I have to admit that I haven't taken (had) the time to research further! -kris</em> We call them curl grubs, and they grow up to be lawn beetles!

That last rush of planting and maybe re-planting if we didn't like where we planted something in the first place. It's nice to see Layanee's feet, at least! <em>Carol, After planting more yesterday (to replace some early season annuals in the Rock Garden) I feel like we're never really done! And I wish I had known that Layanee was going public on her blog because I would have taken a picture of the gorgeous rest of her! -kris</em> This does seem like the time of year when we have to “finish it up”, so to speak.

Did I mention how much I liked the kids' garden and the newly planted beds? What a lot of work and perfection achieved! I love the garden tour of the modernistic garden you just took us to visit. What could be better than that view from the comfy chairs shown? I had a cup and some water in the car for the sweet peas ride home! The fragrance was and is heavenly and I doubt I will smell sweet peas again without thoughts of the kind and talented horticulturists at Blithewold. LOL at the above picture! My feet really ARE my best feature! 'Til next time... <em>Layanee, I'll give you that your feet are your most decorative feature! I'm so glad I didn't miss your visit this time but Gail and Fred will be sorry they did. I'm glad you liked the sweet peas - I hope they lasted longer than the strawberries! - Gone in a flash! -kris</em> Kris: The honor and privilege of visiting Blithewold was all mine and you and your beautiful gardens were the highlight of my day!
