Whoa, I got that one in just about exactly a half-hour. It can not be the toughest Rows Garden ever. Or … am I getting a lot better at these? I do Joon Park’s and Michael Blake’s RGs on Tuesdays.

I was able to work this one directly from the bottom up. (Don't know why I started there.) I usually have to skip around a little, but not this week. My strategy is to try to get as many blooms as possible first and then attack the rows. The very top row threw me for a second, but it finally came to me.

To answer your question, no I didn't think it was the toughest Rows Garden ever.

Where do you get the other RGs?

Yep that row A entry (which turned out to be autological!) was the very last piece to fall for me.

At least I could solve ONE Patrick Berry puzzle this week! (so far).

Row A was a tough one indeed! Full disclosure: I had to print out two copies.

I don’t know why, but I find @Wendy Walker's comment comforting. I enjoyed this PB a lot!
