Maybe you could have your ashes scattered over all of them. We scattered my father's ashes under his favorite oak tree... and one of my MIL's ashes on the Potomac river.

I feel the same way. There is something so relaxing and refreshing, even 
when weeding. I would have never made it through some difficult years
without it. This a.m. I did some weeding and pruning which always feels 
good. Also, found some more plants blooming. If I didn't need to watch
my energy, I could be out there all day.
Newer regulations prohibit it but I would love to be buried in one of my gardens.

Well, Bonnie
It is like poisons build up in your system when you are not active
in the garden. At least for me... you have to be out there working them out. 
Along with the demons.
Don't think I would have made it through my two bouts with cancer in
the past 2 years without my garden. There are so many things you can take to the garden that you cannot take to your relationships with humans. Some things can be buried right along with compost in the garden, and left there. 
My garden likes me just the way I am each and every day.
Lots of weeds pulled today. Thinking about new area in my rock garden,
working out the design.

Gene, I think it is good to stay active. I had a terrible time with
lymphedema; went to a therapist; got a glove & sleeve and exercises.
But, the thing that helped the most was doing rotator cuff and yoga
exercises in addition to the lymphedema ones; haven't had to wear the
sleeve & glove for almost a month. Our bodies were made to move and, if 
you are like me, gardening also does much to relieve the stress which
also is not good for cancer or most other disease. This morning I spend 
around 30 minutes cleaning up the gardens along my front brick walk.
When done, I try to post a picture and we can fun comparing. I love to
see differences in the way people produce the same thing and always see 
it in our quilting guild.

Well, Kitty
Since you are female your statement could be very true... I am a better man 
than you. But, not necessarily a "better" anything. Actually I do feel
better if I get out in the mornings and be active in my gardens. Come back 
in for the rest of the day. I have too many projects that are "almost
finished". Need to stay active.

it's 100.
