And a pretty awesome bench at that (from Shaw):
Garden of the Day

“One weekend when we were out of town, a friend of ours “yard crashed” our house in Brookland and built this beautiful garden for us as a wedding present! We decorated it with our gnome and Buddha, but are really enjoying this awesome surprise gift.”
That is a very cool wedding present!
“Dear PoP,
Snapped this picture of our garden yesterday morning after placing the scarecrow out as a sign of ushering in Autumn :) Feels like Autumn but plants are definitely still in good shape after all the rain!!! Picture is of our home in NE.”
Beautiful.
From New Hampshire Avenue in Dupont.
It’s a really rare to see a garden looking this good on Sept. 1st. Props to a Petworth neighbor.
“Dear PoP,
I live on the tenth floor of a building in Silver Spring without a balcony. Two boxes on a table in a western facing window and some seeds I’d saved from some remarkable heirloom tomatoes I grew when I did have a balcony have created some out of control tomato plants. The wire stakes I’d purchased to keep them upright have long since lost any usefulness. They’re being held upright by a re-purposed Blackberry charging cord. I’ve had to pollinate the flowers myself with a paintbrush as they’re indoors, but it’s working well.
It’s not a great garden, but I’m doing what I can with what I have.”
That’s freaking awesome, nice work!
This great one is from Petworth. Very few gardens of the day left for this season…
Every year I love seeing these crazy flowers just off East Capitol Street, NE.
A little southwest style in DC.
Great zen curb garden also from Logan.
