OPG: The Sun's garden contest

Good morning Garden Variety readers!

First, my apologies to any of you who have attempted to post comments in the last week. Technical problems required that we shut down the comment phase of some of our blogs and Garden Variety was one of them!

I missed you all! And I felt like I was talking to myself...

And today I will be out judging the entries in The Baltimore Sun's garden contest (OPG=Other People's Gardens). With a heat index of 100-plus degrees no less. And in the days ahead, I will be posting some pictures of what we see.

Stay out of the heat, gardeners!!!

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.
