You've heard of a victory garden. Well, this one is a survival garden. And it's the plants that have been doing the "surviving". (Mr. Cottage just gave me instructions to NOT mention his name in this post! (*wink*)) This is your big chance to offer input, oh succcessful gardeners of the world! Kindly identify this mercifully resilient desert bush which has bloomed so jubilantly this year. It stood up and took notice of our mere presence in the back yard this season, and cheers us on each time we venture outdoors. Now this I call positive reinforcement! The roses are offerering their own reward by showing vigorous growth after an early spring pruning. When they emerge from the bud maybe you will recognize one or two, as we are not on a first name basis with them ourselves. The vines have just errupted with tiny green leaves and lend the garden wall the appearance of a giant ogre in some fairy story. One in which the hairy monster will soon transform itself into an enchanted doorway. Thank goodness this change takes place without any assistance fom us! Okay. Just an eensy bit of credit taking here. We planted a baby snowball bush last summer, and these are its first blooms! (There are about dozen.) Periwinkle? And a few early cherries. Thanks so much for helping us get our silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row! . . . And so, how does YOUR garden grow? I'm off to check on the beanstalks! Happy Pink Saturday! Visit Beverly's here for more PINK! Jacqueline

If there's anything Joy "Rocky" Rookwood loves more than the plants she tends to at Tenwick Abbey its a challenge, that's precisely why she's agreed to become the latest spy in Morgan Graylocke's household. When she's tasked with going undercover as gardener in another house to ferret out a high-level traitor she jumps at the chance. The only fly in the ointment is that she has to take fellow botanist, and also newly minted spy, Edgar Catterson III with her as backup. Rocky and Catt rarely see eye to eye. Edgar "Catt" Catterson III has found new purpose in his role as a spy for the crown so when the Duke of Tenwick gives him an assignment to go undercover he rises to the challenge. Too bad he has to act as assistant to his prickly friend and fellow botanist Rocky. Working with her all day in the confines of the estates hothouse is bad enough, but acting as her subordinate is almost too much to bear. But as Rocky and Catt try to figure out exactly who the spy is, they discover something neither expected--a growing attraction to each other. As their relationship heats up, the deadline to unmask the spy before he passes on damaging information at a masquerade ball is looming. Rocky and Catt must meet danger head on even if it means losing each other to ensure the safety of their country. | Author: Leighann Dobbs | Publisher: Leighann Dobbs Publishing | Publication Date: Feb 13, 2017 | Number of Pages: 370 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 1946944025 | ISBN-13: 9781946944023
