I'm sure you handled it with more aplomb than you feel you did. Garden tours are such work -- I bet you're glad to have a bit of a rest when autumn comes. I hope you have an enjoyable winter -- and a short one too!

You had me laughing out loud re: the raccoon! Oh my goodness, what an experience! My hat's off to you for opening your garden to so many visitors. And it's definitely deserving of the attention. Seriously, I would like to visit your garden next spring or summer! You aren't that far from me. I'm sure if I invited groups to my garden, they'd be aghast at all the chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits we have running around (and we occasionally find dead ones, too, of course). Yes, raccoons sometimes visit us, too. LOL. Thanks for sharing your gardens, this beautiful post, and a serious chuckle! :)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-32788692071571192832015-10-03T13:49:53.654-05:002015-10-03T13:49:53.654-05:00Oh my, that is quite the doozy of a last tour!

I love your new Pipe Ball! I'm impressed those petunias are still going even without fertilizer. My petunias kept petering out this year - I really should try the bubblegums!Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004102653896371835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-67239340906486856622015-10-02T16:51:11.711-05:002015-10-02T16:51:11.711-05:00Karen - You get major kudos for not screaming.

At least it was dead, not sick with rabies. I don't know if you've read any of my raccoon posts this year, but I have been absolutely bedeviled by them. No dead raccoons in my garden, just lots of ravaged plants and piles of poop. Whatever karma I've been wishing on them must have missed and flown all the way to Wisconsin.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
