Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful photos of your garden. I have been wanting to have hosta's in my garden and you are an inspiration for me to do just that. I love reading all of your blogs. Inspiration is the key to action for my little garden mind.

Martha,

I so enjoyed your pictures of your beautiful farm. I dream of the day that I have a beautiful garden in my yard.

Our weather has been very dry here in MN and we went from a very cool spring to a very hot and humid summer. We finally had some rain this morning and my little backyard garden is loving it.

Oddly enough, I seem to have grown a Red Mulberry tree next to my garden amidst the lilac bush in the back yard. If you know anything about the Red Mulberry tree, I'd welcome your input. I believe the fruit is edible, but am not sure.

Martha -
Here in St. Louis it has been in the high 90's all week! My little daughter, Katherine, has been attending nature camp at The Nature Institute all week and, although it has been such an adventure, it is so hot! We would love to have some rain! Thanks so much for your wonderful stories and blog!

Woo, how large the farm!
it's quite impossible to have such a greeny farm in the city and sometimes it's even hard to breathe fresh air. I miss my childhood in the villiage.

Hi Martha,

I am sitting here in my back garden in England waiting for a thunderstorm to break the hot weather. My roses are desperate for water.

I have followed your website for many months and I just love everything that you do to help us in our daily lives.

You gave me the inspiration to start my own business which is now online. I hope you are able to visit my blog (www.milforddesigns.com)

Hi Martha:

Thanks for sharing your photos of a wet and rainy day at your place. Everything looks so beautiful and loved the different interesting hostas.

Also I enjoyed your segment on the bee keeping and making of honey today on your show. Very educational, and very brave of you.

We have had two very hot days here, but rain expected tomorrow. I live close to the Canadian/U.S. border near Niagara Falls. I have heard of the exceptionally wet weather from my sister in Virginia, and my sister-in-law in Queens, N.Y. It seems we are having reverse weathe conditions....lol. Take care Martha. Enjoy sharing your interesting life through twitter and your blogs/pictures.

While on Whidbey Island (off the coast of Wash. state), I saw a metal tree with containers holding lush red geraniums. You also have a metal tree adorning your garden shed. Where do you find these metal trees?

Thanks for your reply. Enjoy your show, magazine and website
