YOU CAN READ IT RIGHT UP TOP, BELOW MY LOGO: Horticultural how-to and woo-woo practiced here. After the question of “Where’d you get that plant?” (alluding to whatever oddball thing I post a picture of), the second-most common question I’m asked is, “What’s up with the woo-woo, Margaret?” The video above–my first, since I am happier behind a camera than in front–attempts to explain. Woo-hoo! Er, no, sorry: woo-woo.
(If you need to download the QuickTime player to watch, here’s the link.) And thanks to my friends at Catman & Mary Productions for forcing me to do this. Now if they’d only rename the company Catman and Margaret….

Help me get the word out that there’s more to gardening than chores by giving this one a thumb’s up in whatever way you like. Click on one of the choices (Facebook, Twitter), and thank you. As my niece says to me on my very favorite occasions, “You’re the best.”
What a lovely video. The imagery, the music and your commentary were super. Please promise to share more with your readers in the months ahead.
I hope to see your garden in person next month during the “Open Days” program.
Welcome, Tricia, and thank you for your kindness. As for the next open day — yikes, what a harsh year (heat, no rain…). All of that aside, I will be here! :)
Welcome, Jodi. I am very appreciative of your positive feedback. :) Do come visit again soon, and holler if you need any help!
I loved walking in his garden …I want more videos
Congrts!
Thank you for your beautiful video, your glorious garden and your thoughtfulness. I am so looking forward to your book! Loved your pussycat, too:)
Welcome, Vera. Thanks for your words of encouragement. More to come, promise!
Welcome, Sylvia. You are welcome…and Jack sends his love. :)
See you both soon again.
Are you sure you did not mean “wu wei”? ;-)
Thank you for sharing your garden “live”. I have enjoyed your website and have learned so much. As stated before please share more with your readers we do appreciate it.
Welcome, Anita, and glad you enjoyed…will do more, yes. Don’t be a stranger — see you soon!
This is a very nice and big garden. Bravo!
I can’t wait to see my garden in 25 yrs.
Thanks for sharing your passion.
I would like to fallow your blog and see what is growing in your garden.
Thanks, Sue, and welcome. Look forward to spending the season ahead with you.
Read your book and still wonder why moles were in your attic? I admire your courage and glad you didn’t stop gardening after meeting the rattlesnakes. I also hate snakes and ours (in MI) are only garter and hognose.
@Sandy: I don’t know why they come in the house, but they do. I guess they just took a wrong turn. If it had only been once, I’d have said it was a freak thing…but it was multiple times.
It’s a treat to sit and read your blog and I get a kick out of seeing Jack in the pictures, but watching him in the video brought some tears to my eyes-looks so much like my Buddy did. I love your friendship with him. It is very sweet:)
Hi, Rebecca. I will tell Jack he is a tear-jerker. :) He has become my one true love, I have to admit. Funny how he and I both shed some of our ultra-independence and have settled in to life here together, isn’t it? He is a great blessing.
I just finished reading your book (and I shall have some peace there – coincidentally one of my favorite poems), and I loved it. It is so fun to be able to see the places (and creatures) you wrote about on your blog. I am a fan for life now and am telling all my gardening friends about your fabulous blog. Thanks so much!
How kind of you to come and say so, Elizabeth. Very sweet. And thank you for being my new ambassador — I definitely need one! Hope to see you soon again.
