		<description><![CDATA[This is part three on the evolution of the four-square garden. To start at the beginning, go to part one. The trouble with gardens is that plants grow. That is a good thing, of course, but no garden stands still, and before you know it is overgrown. I think the problem with the four-square garden [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The four-square garden was gloriously romantic in its heyday. In spring, clumps of tulips and daffodils and Euphorbia polychroma would start the show. The early bloomers were followed by peonies, which bloomed at same time as my favorite ‘Purple Sensation’ alliums. We also planted Siberian iris and used English lavender, plus catmint and ladies mantle [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Without this team of helpers, I&#8217;d never have got through the summer &#8212; there&#8217;s so much to do here &#8212; mowing, weeding, watering, weeding, mulching, pruning, edging &#8212; did I mention weeding? Honestly, without help, I&#8217;d go crazy: from April to November the workload is steady. (Have I ever mentioned how relaxing I find November? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had this gardening question through my website today: I love the path in your garden picture. I have made stone paths, but all I did was keep weeds from coming through landscape cloth and small stones. Any ideas of a walkway path without weeds? What do you do? I hate to say it, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pruning our trees and shrubs has been the big job to get done in March. When the trees have no leaves in late winter or early spring &#8212; that&#8217;s the best time to prune because you really can see the branch structure, and it&#8217;s so much easier to get in between the branches with pruning [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you have as many trees as we do, raking leaves is simply out of the question. While some country folks just let the wind blow the leaves away, I find that they don’t all blow away, especially if they get wet. So to clear them up, I take my mower over the piles of [...]]]></description>
