Welcome to the Jungle

I think this year, at least in the later part of July, the garden gets a theme song. The two leading candidates are Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N’ Roses or The Lion Sleeps Tonight by The Tokens. So far, I have yet to finding a sleeping lion or a corruptive large city in the jungle garden, so maybe in the end, these are not the best candidates after all.

Before looking at the current state of the garden, perhaps a refresher on what the garden looked like BEFORE the plants took over would be a helpful perspective.  Check out this post from a short three months ago.

Welcome.  Enter if you dare.
