Summer (at last!) here in the north, and under the care of the lovely and talented Mrs. Zheng3 the grounds do bloom and shake off spring's clammy mantle.

Irrigation is the order of the season, and polyurethane serpents dutifully follow our favorite chatelaine while she quenches the thirsts of young basils, zukes, and tomatoes.

But she is busy, busy! and without a garden guardian's vigilance an overlooked dragon's tail might scythelike reap a row of tulips. It has happened before.

Never again, my friends. Never. Again.
