I love your blog and I'm very...Hello Anastasia!<br />I love your blog and I'm very happy to find a new garden friend. You know, even though we're not that close in distance, we still share a lot of similar problems (and joys!). Poison oak and rattle snakes are the scariest things here if you don't count the bears and lions. Just keep plugging along with those weeds. It's not a battle you can win, but you might be able to hold your own if you don't look too close.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158876102857017553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666301710374702911.post-76292200796654548042013-05-08T05:31:26.070-07:002013-05-08T05:31:26.070-07:00Thank you, Holley!

But I agree -- the rewards of a garden are worth all our work.

I know too well the feel of biting fire ants, of careful poison ivy elimination, and of tree sprout removal (here, it's elm trees that sprout with abundance). And I often wonder if those that don't have Bermuda grass can ever understand its evil properties. But the wonder and joy of all the beauty and life is reward enough for all our hard work.

I also didn't realize that you realized that I write a gardening blog. You must know that had I picked up your book, there would have been no weeding accomplished this weekend. Yesterday I had a spare half hour and rather than pinching spent blooms, I sat in the garden reading. It was a wonderful way to spend some quiet time.

No pecans or poison ivy (or fire ants) though right now the magnolia is dropping petals all over the grass and the other flowers and flowering shrubs are all dressing themselvesRichard Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263422336568571553noreply@blogger.com
