Bill Shear posted his appeal for help while his photographer, Roger
Foley was in my garden on Friday. He was there for over 6 hours, the
first 2 hours with me asking him stupid questions before I ran off to
work. I was a little apprehensive about having my garden photographed
and leaving him unattended in my garden. After the experience, I can
only say that it was great. Any gardener who loves their garden should
be thrilled to have Roger photograph it. What's more, when he left, the
only sign that he had been there was the tracks of his wagon in the
grass. The next morning, the tracks were gone. So, I reiterate Bill's
appeal. This was a lot of fun.
