SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME NOT.Andre Jordan seems to keep hoping for the best, despite a few well-documented cases of rejection (as in, loc. cit., The Girl I Love With All My Heart. Caveat emptor: Deliciously not PG!).
THE LECTURE that he’s been giving for a number of years is not-so-subtly called “Kill Your Lawn.” Ecological horticulturist Dan Jaffe Wilder knows that starting over and creating an entire native habitat instead of a lawn isn’t for everyone. But Dan just wants to grab our attention and get us to start to make some changes at least in the way we care for the turfgrass we do want in our landscapes. And maybe give up a little square footage of it to some other kind of more diverse planting, too, like the wild strawberries (Fragaria virginiana, inset). Alternative, more eco-focused styles of lawn care, along with some lawn alternatives is what he and I talked about on the podcast. Dan is Director of Applied Ecology at Norcross Wildlife Foundation in Wales, Massachusetts, and its 8,000-acre sanctuary. He’s also co-author with Mark Richardson of the book “Native Plants for New England Gardens.”

My heart goes out to Barry
Susan – I think if Barry continues to believe in the impossible, then his luck will eventually change … or it might just snow.
Margaret – thanks for the link to ‘The girl I love with all my heart’. I continue to write about her in the privacy of my home hoping for a happy ending … though I worry it might just snow
daisy: “is that a stemleaf or are you glad to see me?”
Chris.. Chris… Chris… *shakes head*
I think we’ve all had a daisy (or Barry) in our life at one time or another!
Daisy is either a witch or a lovely person caught in a difficult situation. hmm.
I think Daisy has Gardenitice You know that dreaded disease that all gardeners get this time of year. Totally confused and in an array waiting for spring.
