Seven Deadly Garden Sins
Comments (74)1. My neighbor who "thinks" she is a gardener and major "green" recyler. With plastic flowers stuck on her front arbor and inbetween plantings. She also has the entire place painted the same color (house,arbor, picket fence, metal window shades). Sorry, but I get irked when she tries to tell me how to garden. 2. The latin names. I was so pleased the group here uses common names. There are times when it is necessary to get the right plant due to growth habits. But, I'm simple and love what grows the best for me. Willing to try new, but having to figure out what a suggested latin named plant is and then finding out it is a "day lily" or something similar wastes my time digging up the information. For some reason one of the forums I loved has become the latin language group. The "George" picture was beyond funny. We do need to be careful with the sock thing...while working in Austrailia, all my students showed up in shorts, white socks and business shoes. Glad I found you guys....See MoreLocate Seven Sons Tree Plus other questions...
Comments (7)9. Swaps yes! Not specifically for southern MD, but usually most of the state plus some PA, DE, VA folks. Fall swap already happened, spring should be in early May. These are more plant give aways and foistings than swaps. You will not need to offer much in the way of plants (though brownies are always legal tender) to get lots of interesting stuff - plants, seeds, cuttings, implements, books and magazines....See MoreThe Seven Deadly Sins
Comments (25)Liz, I think the Beirut hostage Terry Waite did much to reintroduce interest in John Bunyan. After several years of captivity in solitary confinement he received a post card from a woman, unknown to him, with a picture of Bunyan in his Bedford prison cell. The fact that the PC and message of encouragement should have reached him at all gave him hope for the future. Bunyan is also known as the writer of the hymn To Be a Pilgrim which I enjoy because of its upbeat tune and the lines in the third verse "Hobgoblin nor foul fiend Can daunt his spirit" Here is a link that might be useful: Terry Waite on John Bunyan...See MoreWeek Seven on White Dove Remodel
Comments (3)Thanks for the comment, Steph. The front is so typical of a 1950s era home that was not intended to be "modern" just strong and durable. The home was built for the contractor's mama. He also put a gate in the back fence so she could visit with her friend on the street behind. And, when we took out that fence, we put another one in the new lot line fence because that same neighbor sold the strip of land which I now call my garden. She is the best neighbor I've ever had in my entire adult life. Sweet woman, great gardener....See MoreUser
