That perfect state that you are talking about will satisfy your soul, but know that a garden is never done.
I'm 68 yrs old and need to have another Total Knee, but I'm still gardening and loving every minute of it. I encourage you to keep journals of your garden. As a matter of fact that will be my topic tomorrow.
From reading your blog I ascertain that you are a very organized and detailed gardener. Your plants are very nice and I love reading your blog. Keep blogging. Peace & Plenty.
