Pro Garden Tour

In between gardening chores, Dara and I went on a garden tour in Palo Alto today. Five houses ranging from huge elaborate things to small tidy things. It was fun, but I have to say that I want to see the amateur garden tour, not the tour of "who can spend a lot of money for someone else to make their garden look great." People dressed nicely in general, but I was wearing my dirt-stained jeans and baseball cap. One guy asked me in all seriousness, "Are you the gardener here?" I had to tell him that if I was the gardener, this garden sure as hell wouldn't look like it did.
