No, no, not for good.
But even though it seems like I just arrived back in Barbados from Canada (wait, I did, June 10th), I am heading back to Canada again for a couple of months.
What will I find when I get there? Did all my newly accquired plants die in the drought? I can’t wait to find out…
I am a floral designer living in a tiny condo in downtown Toronto, Canada's largest city. But on the weekend, I am a gardener/frustrated architect trying to keep up with a 3/4 acre garden in Owen Sound, Ontario, a warm (to Canadians, Zone 5b, and a cold (to Americans, Zone 4b) garden.

If your plants need water, send them my way; I have water to spare!!! This looks set to be both the coldest and the wettest summer in Denmark in 20 years, so unless August has something up its sleeve your plants should be save over here…

Exciting news! I hope your garden has had just enough rain to keep plants alive but the weeds somewhat at bay. Safe journey.

Can’t believe it’s time for you to go back already, it has gone so quickly. Have a safe journey and I hope your garden has behaved itself while you have been away.

Deborah, How nice to get to spend fall in Ontario. I hope you got out ahead of the tropical storm that seems to be headed toward Barbados.
