Hi Moosey! You have a great site! Someday maybe mine will rival it in garden displays, but it will be a long time before that happens! Your gardens are lovely-keep up the good work! Sue

Wonderful, Im struggling to create a large garden myself while working a full time job so I have found some very useful ideas from your website.

It was very nice for me to visit your garden. Pictures are very good, and the web site is very well done, very quick. Congratulations to you both.

Hi Moosey! spectacular. I'm so envious! Too aged and tired to garden anymore--just pots on the patio. But dirt under the fingernails is a nice reminder of joys goneby. Love your cherished creatures.Lots of purring going on! Take care and enjoy while you can. Kay

While surfing for gardening centers here in Ontario I happened upon your wonderful and well designed site.My wife and I like to garden in a typical suburban yard 50 feet by 100 feet [metric?] and we have 3 cats.All three of them came from an animal rescue group here in the city.Pumpkin is orange and white short hair,the other two are biological sisters Malmok is grey and white and her sister is a muted calico similar to your Mugsy.Loved your site and the New Zealand phrases like water race.

I think that your garden is lovely and also that your son is a very talented web designer. I hope you enjoy your trip to England.

Wow !! .... truly incredible. Your Son is a * good web-developer (I design websites myself and appreciate how much talent and work has gone into this!) Photography - breathtaking... The gardens - where does one start? Whenever I come across people like yourself with good professional jobs, musical talent, and the time and creativity to develop stunning gardens like these makes me wonder what I am doing wrong. Do you have a 40 hour day over in New Zealand by any chance?? Congratulations and very best wishes to you all. Mike Jackson

While browsing the garden section I checked out your site. It is wonderful. I am a gardener in an area of about 3 months growing season. Tough! Your son did an excellant job. It is in my future to live in NZ (North Island) where I hope to have a spectacular garden, too. Thank you and keep it up Sharyon

Dear Moosey, It was a pleasure to visit your garden. I loved the paths. I myself like a lot of paths, with little surprise around the bends. You sure have put a lot of time and effort into your property. Lovely. Cynthia

It's wonderful to see the updated journal. I've missed it so! Your garden is an inspiration, and this site is excellent (also inspiring, to this web designer).

Great new sight. Oh for the son to create a web page.Would be a change from the havoc they create x3. Am interested to know of your musical attributes and have you produced any listening jazz. I too play piano but not well, being blessed with voice handed down from generations ago(Like well sown seed!) Have just started working full time and would appreciate any small hint on keeping it under control......Like who prunes the roses and do you mow lawns on or behind the thing? And when do you find time to play with the new technology.Don't have to take time to find the letters but just takes time getting around the sites. Other similarities are our age (as if it matters I hear you say) water thru the garden from an irrigation ditch and either all or none., size and passion about birds bees and normal things. Are you open to view being a reasonable Sunday drive away? Could go on forever Cheers here is to winter and natural bug killing. Cheers Jo.

Eggy and Moosey, You have put together another great site. Your garden, the flowers, paths, seats and pets do make me a little homesick, however. From cold and grey, even in spring, London. Love Sam.

Hello Moosey(and Eggy),I just luv your new page,takes me ages to look through it all, and wonder at the humour and beauty.I have two much loved Burmese cats,Leroy-the-boy and Stella-the-star who follow me around my garden,walk with wet,dirty feet, and then lie on the paper or any GOOD garden book I may be reading at the time!I live in the North Island in the Waikato so my weather and soil is very different to yours-every thing seems to grow to great heights in this wet,drippy,green and moist valley.Would love to hear from you when a spare moment arises - I will keep reading your pages and enjoying it all,regards from another passionate,obsessive gardener,Marcia.

Moosey ... I am in awe at the absolutely amazing changes in your site since my last visit -- wonderful! Your site has always been one of my favorites; not only are your projects (bridges, benches and walkways!) a pleasure to see, all of the photos are excellent. Your words and descriptions are perhaps my favorite parts ... (sorry, Eggy! Smile

... I love it all, and love following your so evident love of all things growing and living. Thank you so much for a very enjoyable visit! Your site is so rich in both content and design ... (there ya go, Eggy!) ~~ Superb job, and warm wishes for happy gardening! ~ Shelley

Nice to hear from you again. Wonderful Home Page. Spring is just arriving here and my tulips, hyacinths, and bleeding heart are all beautiful. Next will be the Irises and Peonies. My husband planted "Blue Poppies" and now they have multiplied to about 100 plants. Loretta

I really like your garden. Especially your lovely paths. I and my husband started gardening four years ago just after my husband's retirement. We also made several paths made by stones, lawns,bricks. Your web site is very informative.

Just wondering if we'll ever see more diary entries. I sure hope so, as I find them fascinating in a way I can't really explain. Also wondering if the site has been abandoned, as I get many broken graphics images. I sure have enjoyed this site over the last year or so, even if it hasn't been updated lately. Thanks!
