As we end 2013, I have to say my Hampton's garden didn't perform that spectacularly this past year.

Lots of people ask me about the best garden tours in my area.

It took a five-hour drive to Vermont to discover that my best leaf-peeping this year was to be had in the Hamptons and in my own backyard.

I was loading a few older pictures onto my photo galleries and came across some that I took last summer at the Woody House in East Hampton.
