so what’s this about ‘woo-woo’? a video explains

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….

Please Spread the Woo(rd):

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.

  2. Margaret says:

    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! :)

  3. Margaret says:

    Welcome, Jodi. I am very appreciative of your positive feedback. :) Do come visit again soon, and holler if you need any help!

    Are you sure you did not mean “wu wei”? ;-)

  8. Anita says:

    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.

  9. Margaret says:

    Welcome, Anita, and glad you enjoyed…will do more, yes. Don’t be a stranger — see you soon!

  10. Sue says:

    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.

  11. Margaret says:

    Thanks, Sue, and welcome. Look forward to spending the season ahead with you.

  12. Sandy says:

    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.

  13. Margaret says:

    @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.

  14. Rebecca says:

    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:)

  15. Margaret says:

    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.

  16. Elizabeth Stoltz-Peters says:

    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!

  17. Margaret says:

    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.
