I would have thought it larger than 1/3 acre -- she's done a great job of framing views and hiding any nearby houses, while giving the impression that her garden goes on and on.

The only problem you might face is that this isn't the best time of year. They tend to be very seasonal and don't carry much in the way of garden "stuff" after about mid August.

I've put off fixing it because I'm sure as soon as I do they'll then change whatever caused the issue in the first place. As for FB it helps that I signed up using my blog name as my personal name.
