Stay out of that garden!
You wanna garden? Oh yeah, I know you do. But ya know what? Working in your beds right now may be the worst thing you could do for your garden. Check out why on my guest post over at The Design Confidential.

You all know I have kind of a thing for Tim Wood, right? I certainly mention him enough here. Well, that’s not entirely true, even though he seems to be a very nice, intelligent and sort of funny guy. I really have a thing for his hydrangeas.
