RE: swallowed up


Hi Ginny!  Oh boy can I relate!  I bought a sign for my garden that said "I
forgot I planted that."  I have a very good memory and keep a journal and
graphs that I update regularly.  But every once in a while I'll think of or
see a plant and remember, "I bought that!  Where is that?"
 
I think the cause is garden greed and the cure is unknown at present.

For mine is just a little old fashioned garden where the 
flowers come together to praise the Lord and teach all 
who look upon them to do likewise.

Hi all, just some ramblings...
 
I came across my list of plants planted in 1998 and find it interesting to
think that so many plants seem to disappear in the garden.  I don't mean
that I lose them to death, I mean I just lose them...can't remember where I
planted them, etc.  You know, get swallowed up.  I keep fairly good records,
but I don't always write down the location of where I plant things. 
Besides, I move things around so much that it wouldn't be up-to-date
anyway.  Try as I may to keep a garden journal, by the time it gets dark and
I come in and eat, I'm ready for bed, not for jotting things down in a
journal!
 
Looked at the calendar and we're getting very close to another hour of
sunlight!  Don't know about you, but I can't wait.  I've worked outside
twice this week until after dark and I sure will welcome another hour.  Now,
if it would just warm up a bit more here in PA.  
 
Daylight savings will be here on April 4th -- that's just 2 weeks from
today!
 
Just thought I'd share those thoughts.
