I have this thing against monocultures lol... I guess it helps to have acres to play in, with that attitude!

Dandelions come up like butter! Well, not the one that had a root over three feet long (this is not an exaggeration-- I finally had to stop because I was ripping up the whole lawn trying to find the end of that root). Mostly, though the hori-hori knife has served me well.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532215042953620628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-58308124270627380402009-03-31T12:56:00.000-07:002009-03-31T12:56:00.000-07:00Farida, What is this "weeding" thing of which you ...Farida, What is this "weeding" thing of which you speak? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-27604623899784537592009-03-31T12:44:00.000-07:002009-03-31T12:44:00.000-07:00Adrienne: The secret to an orderly--looking garden...Adrienne: The secret to an orderly--looking garden is to weed before I take photos. As I look out at the beds today, I have to laugh, because they certainly did not look that way a few days ago.<BR/><BR/>Schelle: How lovely to have a lemon verbena that thrives! We'll see how the red currant does. <BR/><BR/>Lori: It's the same story here. I keep thinking that I really should get out to garden in the winter, but when it's cold and rainy, I think of the poor gardeners who have to do it for a living, and stay tucked away inside.<BR/><BR/>Tanita: Me too! I think that's a better name.<BR/><BR/>Andromeda: If the currant bush actually puts forth berries this year, I'll try to get to them to make compote before hte birds eat them. Honeybees like red currant bushes, and they're the ones I'm most hoping to attract.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532215042953620628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-78080793287607997452009-03-31T11:34:00.000-07:002009-03-31T11:34:00.000-07:00It's lovely to see all the green things starting t...It's lovely to see all the green things starting to grow back, and I always love photos of your gardens.
