test results

From the garden blog community, come other responses to Chan's taste test:

Kathy: 20. Garden bed shapes: formal or informal? Nothing is plumb, or level, or square in my house, so why should it be in my garden?

Nancy reports: 3. Bare hands or garden gloves? (In the north I was a bare-handed gardener, but not here in the south with the ants.)

Basha says : 10. Impatiens: double or single? Hate them all.

From Texas, Bill writes: We have our own limestone just a foot or two below the black clay soil. If I had a choice though I would prefer a sandier soil.

Also from Texas, M.S.S. writes: 16. Morning glory blue or forget-me-not blue?
I don't think I've ever seen a forget-me-not (I'd remember, wouldn't I?) In Texas, the question would be bluebonnet blue or plumbago blue. And the answer would always be bluebonnet blue.
