Many gardeners are a tad off balance. Only we would go through all the woes we do and still we want things to be more perfect.

I ripped out and ditched a big area of digitalis since it planted itself in the wrong spot and was 6' tall at the front of a border. That led to moving JI's, digging up some pseudatas, moving lilies...you know how it goes. Now there must be a thousand seedlings from the digitalis. I'll let them fight it out a while longer so they're quicker and easier to eliminate.

At the start of my gardening life I ordered in mixes but it's just not for me. Some plants dwarfed others and some colors I'd rather not have had.

Thanks, I do love my JI's.

Maybe Magellan went off to avoid Mrs. Magellan and her gardening projects.

My husband was cold all day long but I had to change to a very lightweight short-sleeved tee shirt because I was much too hot moving slate, bricks, stones. The weather report said it got up to 66 but to me it felt more like 80 or above.
