Versailles?
Are you effing kidding me?
Lushly planted Ponds? Colonial Williamsburg? A floral patchwork quilt? Prairie grasses?
Fuggetaboutit!
No wonder my container garden doesn’t even raise an eyebrow at the Trib.
As usual I sent in my glorious gardens entry hoping that the love would come my way. Disappointment reared its ugly head before but I solider on hoping one day that I’d get that fateful call.
Yet year after year the call never comes.
I look at it as another learning opportunity---a chance to refine my gardening skills and to widen my knowledge base.
No matter how much I think I’ve grown or improved, a sister can only do so much with containers.
Perhaps my thinking is too limited
Unless the overall winner is a hellafied container garden (we’ll find out next week), how can an urban gardener such as myself ever hope to complete against a Versailles inspired garden?
That's like putting a soap box derby winner in the Indianapolis 500. Can the Trib throw us small space container gardeners a bone?
Short of recreating the Hanging Gardens of Babylon I guess I’ll toil away in gardening anonymity
