Weed is Kemp

What is the Unkempt Garden anyways, what the heck is he talking about, is he trying to put his name with his garden. Well it's about time he explains all that crazy talk. 
It all started about ten years ago when I was working for the Bass Pro Shops catalog as a production department artist. It was there at BPS that I had the honor of meeting some very nice people, the very people that would help change my life. One of these nice people that would have an affect on my life was a lady by the name of Betty Bates. During the break times at BPS Betty and I would both sip on cups of tea that would give you just the right setting for some in depth conversation. All kinds of interesting topics would pop up during these breaks mostly to give your brain a break from the Malay of stressed out work. In my case most of the topics that would pop up on the break-time would end up talking about my garden. Soon after talking for awhile about the garden I would mention how my mother had a big garden and thats where I learned. After talking about the size of the garden the idea came up that I should name the garden with tall sign over the gate, like we did in my past; I grew up on a patch of land we called "Woodsy Acres" the land of locust and honey just West of Lebanon. 
I know this subject sounds so blase or boring because of the rambling but just hang in there. 
Anywho... Betty soon came up with the idea for a name that I had never heard of "Unkempt".
That was
