One of the best things about garden writing is that you get to go to conferences.  Most professions have conferences of some sort, but I have to say that this one is my favorite. Flamboyant, informative, great networking, and great gardens – what more can you ask from a 3-day event?

The garden will have to manage without me for 5 days, so it got a good water today and those little seedlings are still doing fine.  I did manage to harvest a lime before I left though. The trees are just a year old and not producing too much right now, but what they do produce is welcome. This is the second lime that I have taken from this one tree, in the last 10 days.
