Lush is good, right?<br />The fuschias are a treat, aren't they?! And they take no care at all here, except for a bold cutting-back each spring.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-55634684045672813762013-07-31T21:07:38.325-07:002013-07-31T21:07:38.325-07:00Oh, those blackberries! almost jam time. . .

We've had such a wet, cooler than normal season that my garden is lush, quite an usual word to be using for July and Maryland. I' especially jealous of your fuschias.
