Re: Yarrow, yarrow, yarrow
Hi Val,Just woke to next read your post and gotta tell ya it got my day off
with a laugh...
All you said I could relate to,hence the perverse laughter..:-D..
Dont know which variety of Yarrow I had er Have ,(cause I still find it here 'n
there despite years of brutal yanking/digging )and Obedient is anything
but..Meanwhile seems the balance of the garden is modest and I find myself
checking and worrying about their Spring debut despite a very mild winter..NO
wonder gardeners tend to be a patient lot.
Thanks for getting my day off to a happy start.
