Mark told me he read a great post about visiting Layanee's garden and then he couldn't remember where he read it! So I'm glad I discovered it. Really fun to see it through someone else's eyes. (And, yes, we remember Mother Earth News. I think its time may be here again).

Frances, I'm so sorry we never got a chance to connect. We did go back the same way but were too tired to do anything. We enjoyed seeing so much of the U.S. on that trip that we may be out and about again next summer. So I may see that garden of yours sometime!

Nice post! Thanks for shariing your tour of her garden with us.

Hi Jean, thanks for showing Layanee's spread through your own unique lens. I loved seeing the outside of office view up close. Those vebenas are going to block her view if she doesn't do something! HA We need to add some of the Raspberry Wine too. I only bought one plant of it and obviously need hundreds more! I do wish you had been able to stop by here on your way up there. Maybe on your return trip, or are you already home?

Hi Jean, that was a nice garden tour. Lots of interesting things. Wonder what that bug was killing the Japanese beetle. I want some.

I went back and looked at some of your older posts. Your tomatoes are done and mine are just starting. I looked everywhere for sweet million. Had it a couple years ago and love them.

Your flowers and your birds are beautiful. I'm so glad I stopped by to visit.

Hey, don't tell Layenee, but some of these shots of her "grounds" are better than hers. Actually, it's always interesting to see photos taken of my garden by someone else. It's like an alternate dimension or something–my own garden, but slightly skewed through someone else's vision.

And I wish I knew the name of the bug sucking the life out of the Japanese beetle. I need some of those.

Jean, I am blushing and truly honored by your visit. The pictures look especially nice...is that my garden really? Thank you so much for taking the time to stop in and share the garden and some stories. To the rest of you, you are welcome here. I live off the beaten path,so to speak, so sharing in person is the best. The 'bee' is actually a Robber Fly, Genus, Laphria. I will post on it. Need some more as it seems to like Japanese Beetles.

Do you think Layanee would take in an aging, tired blogger who hasn't had a good night of sleep in forever? I'm pretty sure that all of her peaceful looking loveliness would have me sleeping like a baby. I love New England. But then there is something to love about every single state in the country.

This must have been such an exciting experience; Layanee's garden looks magnificent! Between your photos and Gail's, I now have a better understanding of the "ledge" part of her garden. I see I'm not the only one interested in that wasp/bee, though--I didn't know there was anything that would kill Japanese beetles. Maybe Layanee could breed more of those JB predators and send them to the Midwest--she'd make a fortune:)

How lucky that you got to see Layanee's garden in person & meet the famous Tucker. I want one of those bugs! I didn't think anything ate live Japanese Beetles. I second Gail's ID of the shrub.

I love her garden and that glass room is to die for. You were lucky to visit it in person.

Her garden is always so lush and green when I see photos. I would LOVE to have a glass room on our home like that! Just love it! Thank you for another wonderful tour of her garden. --Randy

Thanks for the tour. I love octagonal houses and that shot of Tucker is hilarious! It's great he enjoys the garden as much as his human companions. Next, I want to see Layanee rolling on her lawn! ;-)

I hope I get the chance to see Ledge & Gardens for myself one day! I'm glad you were able to get away from the heat and humidity. I'm sure it's hard to reacclimate to the humid South!

Isn't she a delightful hostess! Such a pleasure to visit... and her garden is lovely, too. I'm with you Jean...I was totally enamored with the monarda and would gladly have it grow so well in my garden! Thank you for sharing your visit with us! Btw that's Tiger's Eye Sumac and we need more of those JB sucking wasps! gail
