The sprinklers are in, the porta-potty is gone, and now as late fall closes in, the garden will have a welcome dormant time to “regroup” and heal.  First the nice long views…

…the new drip system looks like it will make a big difference, come spring…

and the trenches are nicely filled in (a bit muddy, but not too bad…)

but the most amazing part of this November visit was the big camellia near the kitchen door…in full bloom!  Ahh gardens…roll on winter!
