You know, you really should have your own garden blog.<br /><br />I can help you make one.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348048990003701953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956447.post-1102995387158988762004-12-13T22:36:00.000-05:002004-12-13T22:36:00.000-05:00Hi Don!

I love your descriptions of your garden.<br /><br />I moved in March to a house of my own, and I have gardens again -- a big veggie garden, flower beds all the way around my house, rose bed in a nice well-drained sunny spot in the back, and hundreds of bulbs recently planted. I was fortunate to land next door to a gardener who's lived in my working-class neighborhood for more than 45 years, and who has helped fill my beds with yellow, white and purple irises. Mike let me dig up my perennials at his house, so I am pleased not to have abandoned them. <br /><br />My back yard ends in a ravine -- what had been the trolly line from Richmond to Ashland and is now a powerline right-of-way. So if I ever run out of room, I can start terracing. Right now, though, it's overrun with honeysuckle and blackberry vines and teeming with birds and small animals and I like it that way.<br /><br />My veggie patch was astounding for a first year garden -- bushels of tomatos and cukes, watermelon and cantelope for the whole neighborhood, and assorted other veggies. Now it's planted in mustard, kale, spinach, garlic, and two rows of english peas I planted too late but are still clinging to life despite several hard frosts. <br /><br />I hope that you and your sweetie pie have a wonderful Christmas, a warm cozy new year, and a glorious spring.<br /><br />LynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956447.post-1102976516609491362004-12-13T17:21:00.000-05:002004-12-13T17:21:00.000-05:00Bless your heart.

I like to feel it when I am out gardening, and I certainly like the gray green silver coloring.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348048990003701953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956447.post-1102963758360391262004-12-13T13:49:00.000-05:002004-12-13T13:49:00.000-05:00I've had several dreadful (dread rather than viole...I've had several dreadful (dread rather than violence) nightmares about lambs' ear - no idea why...lemminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06767103318863906140noreply@blogger.com
