By Patrick, of course! I finally finished it. About a medium difficulty imo.

Loved it (as always)! Got hung up for about 45 minutes because:


In the Medium Blooms, I had PRO from LOW PROFILE and confidently filled in PROMPT ("helpful reminder from the wings"). Didn't see that ROLLUP also fit! Diabolical! :twisted:

This was a very fun puzzle. It took me until today to get it done.

Love when Patrick B. does a Rows Garden!

I'm also very much enjoying Michael Blake's "Garden Party" RGs (https://gardenpartycrosswords.com/).

I understand that Joon Pahk's RGs are terrific; I may subscribe soon.

Such a fun one! I misspelled one Latin word, though, which caused quite a delay.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Just got to this one. We were up on Cape Cod for a couple of weeks without a printer. I guess Rows Gardens have to be published in only PDF form so I had to wait until I got home. Solved with my usual slog through some of the parts. Nice one, Patrick!
