Reading about gardening should provide images of both the garden and the gardener. Those images come in many shapes, sizes, and colors; all of which reflect the intricate web of life in and out of the garden.

Warm weather means free your feet!

I’ve decided to do something that I’ve been wanting to do for quite a while: get a pedicure. And I know my tootsies will thank me for it! A few of my male friends think I’m odd, and they’re put off by the fact that I like my feet and toes to be clean, neat, [...]

Something for Nothing

It seems a lot of folks want something for nothing. After a recent garden lecture, I offered my booklet for sale, cheap! No one bought one. But I was duped into giving one away. While I was packing all my stuff, I asked folks one last time if they wanted a copy of my book, [...]

Bad Blogger, Good Worm

I still haven’t figured it out yet! Maybe I should try marking a specific date on my calendar for blog postings. Is that how most of you do it? If not, how do you stay on a regular blogging schedule? I think sticking to a calendar date might be too tough for me. But how [...]

A little something to read

Y’all may or may not do much cruisin around the Internet; sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. But if you haven’t found where my weekly gardening articles are posted, click here. As is the case with some newsprint websites, they won’t post current articles because “they” say folks will just read th

2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,900 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 48 trips to carry that many people. Click here to see the [...

Publius Syrus, that ancient Latin writer of old sayings, is credited with the phrase “A rolling stone gathers no moss.” It’s used to refer to people who are unsettled, folks who are always movin around with no intentions of ever settling down. But that was then, this is now. … Moss and Stone Gardens

Sensitivity

Is it normal to become more sensitive as you age? And I don’t mean sensitive in the physical sense, I’m talkin about things that hurt your feelings, or as a friend of mine often tells me, your “one feeling.” My one feeling has been hurt an awful lot lately. And I keep thinking I shouldn’t [...]

Are leaf eating machines eating more than leaves?

A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article for my local paper’s “Going Green” page. It’s a special edition page, once a month, that features stories about eco-friendly things folks and businesses are doing (or attempting to do) that will help sustain our environment. That’s the premise anyway. But Som

Five things to give away at gardening lectures

A couple of weeks ago I attended a conference on native plants and sustainability. I’m sure we’re all familiar with native plants, but what about that last one? It’s a word I hear over and over again and as a garden communicator you’d think I’d know the exact meaning. Well, I don’t, and I’m not [...

Often is never often enough (and OUCH! my left foot hurts!)

Once or twice a week, once every couple of weeks, a couple times a month; It seems I can’t ever get a grip on the regularity of blogging. Is that a bad thing? Perhaps not for a writer. But it always feels like I’m “talking” to myself. Some folks do, I’ve heard my wife talk [...]
