Re: Gardening Partners
Hello Tracy,
Sounds as though your intensive on the job training has paid off. It has
been said that men are actually boys that are passed from mother to mother
to be taken care of and trained (... usually stated by a female....) ;-)) I
have often thought that common interests is an indicator of moral standards
in common making a relationship easier to function.
I once wrote a series on what makes gardeners different.. have to go
back and dig those out and reread what I had to say about the subject. I do
know that in all the garden clubs I belong to along with all the talks I
give and the people that come to my garden to visit... it is always like
attending a family get-together.
I keep hearing about English weather this year and last. Some pretty
severe stuff that is a tad off of the usual. Perhaps someone should get the
Druids to offer up a decent sacrifice.....
