    It is a delightfully purple year in the garden. I mean, if you’ve been here a while, you know this is the whole point. But it’s not usually this purple! This year is exceptional.

    We’re in stage 5 drought which is testing the fortitude of our drought-resistant planting. But we’ve finally had some rain these past two days and they’re loving it. The pollinators have been loving the garden too, as have we.
