Today ’s photos are from Joan DeRosa . She says,“This are scenes from my garden in Old Field , East Setauket , Long Island , New York . The household and grounds face west and overlook Smithtown Bay . I have been gardening here since 1988 , create too many mistakes to observe . Until recently I thought the sometimes harsh wind were the dandy risk , but that was before the deer began to take over . Now much of the garden will credibly take on an transitory caliber as it is discovered by the hungry herd . ”
Oh Joan . How have you escaped the deer for this long ? You garden is gorgeous . I hope they do n’t take too much of a price in the years to total ! Please do place us more photos . I sense there is much more loveliness to see …

The rose ‘Zepherine Drouhin’ backed by an early blooming buddleia. A ‘Morning Light’ miscanthus is in the foreground, and in the distance a ninebark and Rosa ‘Henry Baffin’. Later the daylilies will bloom, but I fear they are on the hit list. Photo/Illustration: Courtesy of Joan DeRosa
