Wow! I'm so inspired...(Holly from the Nook here...) Wow! I'm so inspired! I've always loved working in the dirt with plants and pouring over garden magazines. It's the the reality and consistency that get me! I put in a bunch of perennials last year and was excited for their always magical reappearance this spring. Now to eek out that 30 min a day and keep my curious toddlers from plucking out my sedum!!hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429519485834498338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511312330612810834.post-65008517951159040422007-04-16T20:16:00.000-04:002007-04-16T20:16:00.000-04:00You remind me of my mother - she knows the name of...You remind me of my mother - she knows the name of every plant we see and I can see that my sister has the same gift. I really do think a love of working the earth IS a gift and I find that occasionally I let myself give in to it. Often, though, I make myself too busy to appriciate the time that I spend in the yard. Someday, hopefully :)Corinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741365928762676938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511312330612810834.post-85449598239086176062007-04-16T09:26:00.000-04:002007-04-16T09:26:00.000-04:00Yes, I hardly know names as well. My cute little g...Yes, I hardly know names as well. My cute little garden has gotten more and more ragged every year I've lived here. I can sure my annuals look good--you know, the ones I buy at Home Depot that are already blooming . . . But last year, when we were building our deck, I dug up all the hostas and tried to give them away, and plant a few in front. They were ginormous, and there were tree roots everywhere--it was hard to make a big enough hole, no matter how I divided the plants. So, this year, after all the rain and snow, I can see the roots! It looks like my hostas are upside-down. Actually, they are kind of growing that way too. They are quite resilient! Anyway, if these don't quite work out, I may have to come help you thin out your garden. :) Maybe some day I'll care enough to really figure it out as you do. Until then, I'll just come bask in YOUR garden!Camihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338200890977453036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511312330612810834.post-36723421409791209612007-04-16T08:43:00.000-04:002007-04-16T08:43:00.000-04:00Holy moly, Kellie!

I bet your garden's beauty makes sense to anyone who sees it. I'm just hoping to get some annuals in the front and a few veggies on the side of my house. I did the some veggies and berries two years ago and thought my Maia would die of pleasure at picking her own tomatoes off the vine. How can I trust that winter is over and it's safe to plant?Mendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193037710393516253noreply@blogger.com
