Go native, wear native

Luke MaysMost of us look like Pigpen of the Peanuts comic strip when we work in the garden. Sweaty, dirty, old clothes, old shoes.

But we don't always look that way.

I found these lovely garden T-shirts painted by Annapolis artist Luke Mays, and I bought three and sent them to my sisters with a note, "Happy Birthday. Whenever it is. You need this T-shirt now."

Luke paints jeans and jackets and posters. But I love the sunny optimism of his garden T-shirts.

He is now working on a series featuring native plants, like this one of the gallardia pulchella, and he will paint your favorite perennial to order!

If you'd like a T-shirt, too, you can reach Luke at Froggwood@gmail.com or 410-570-6505

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
