There are some truly blue flowers.  Maybe we can help you out here.  Light
blue eyes, dark blue?

I'm sure she loves the thought, if nothing else.

Oh, cotinus.  Love that shrub too.  I bet she'll love showing her friends
HER garden as well.

If at all possible, make sure you put something near her garden or where you
can view her garden, that you two can sit on, and have your secret
rendesvous (sorry for the spelling).  Covering it would be even more
wonderful and private, with maybe one of the fast growing annual vines or a
clematis or rose providing the privacy.  This doesn't have to be expensive.
You can use PVC pipe, twigs, lots of things.

Wow, busy guy.  Well, now, Craig, don't undo all your good work with
spending so much time in the garden you spend no time with your wife!

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
