OT: Does this sound like SOME of us?? :)
Comments (29)Guilty to all of the above and many more. Have been known to take a couple of seed pods from plants I've seen in shopping center medians or the parks. I just figured I had RESCUED a few seeds that needed to be transplanted somewhere else. (Like my place) LOL I have even dug tulips up that were in a bar ditch. They are the ones that multiply like crazy and come back year after year. There use to be an old farm house there and now it's just an empty pasture and the tulips take up about 5 acres. Of course when the maintainers (big heavy road equipmnet) come in and grade the road several times a year they throw a ton of dirt on them. They are at least a ft deep in dirt on the side of the road now. I really should go dig some again next spring so I can have some at this house. LOL I've also called real estate people and ask if I can harvest seeds from houses I see for sale or rent that might have a flower or something I'm interested in. LOL Yelp, we're all addicts but I'd rather be a flower/garden/plant addict than any other kind. However when your not working and can't even afford to send postage to others for plant swaps it's not good. You suffer from empty mailbox syndrome. Happy Gardening all you Addicts and Enablers!

Comments (12)Daniella and I just put 2 & 2 together. Still recovering from sitting at the airport in Atlanta for 10 hours waiting for my next flight. It is always heartbreaking when you hear that lives are lost in those horrible storms. PLEASE Brenda stay safe!! Lives come first! People at the airport just did not understand about the higher power. there is NOTHING the airlines can do about it but wait it out. Flying through the skies and seeing the lightning close up. NOT a good feeling :-( My prayers are with everyone Lucy...See MoreO/T... new plant releases at Chelsea, some roses too..
Comments (23)Virginia.... I used to live in that region for 15 years, and we were ramblers/hill walkers in those days. Charleston Farmhouse and gardens is at the base of the Sussex Downs, where we used to ramble, so yes we've been past there many times, but never went into the grounds though, just viewed from afar... lots of old churches and red poppy fields all aglow in June....and beautiful wildflowers and meadows on the chalk grasslands... I knew of Virginia Woolf and the so called Bloomsbury set, but Vanessa Bell doesn't ring a.... bell, with me, [sorry].. Definitely salubrious.. and I think the rose looks nice too... if I see it in person, you never know......See MoreOT The drought continues
Comments (48)There is now a huge wildfire in northern California near Redding where two firefighters have tragically lost their lives, many have lost their homes and thousands are being evacuated. I'm truly afraid of what humans and animals are facing in the coming years of continuing drought in so many parts of the world....See MoreMelissa Northern Italy zone 8
