out of control

ok, so i laughed aloud this morning as i perused an article in the nytimes about a garden near puget sound...the gardener stated that she likes a very tidy garden.....and herein lies the great divide between anything she's got going on in her yard...and my own garden......there is not a tidy spot on my property.....in fact, my trellis rose is so out of control with new growth that i must be careful when i go out each morning to get the newspaper because it can grab ahold of me....and the daylilies....well...those that i pulled out are back with a vengeance...as if to double dare me to try it agian....i am mostly pleased that my plants have survived the hot dry weather...though i worry about the 4 days we will be gone.....i intend to water heavily before we leave this morning.....and hope for the best......
