No! You march to your own beat, are happy with it, celebrate it and then pour a gin and tonic to toast it.<br />And that, my love, is why you are so awesome.African Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741350447523434665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-72084044364851340482011-05-19T23:46:09.701-07:002011-05-19T23:46:09.701-07:00Posted a pic of my guara on my blog for you.Posted a pic of my guara on my blog for you.Julie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827476441219850741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-88209476534909653702011-05-19T10:00:36.269-07:002011-05-19T10:00:36.269-07:00Stunning!Stunning!TRB Holthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472599221066111695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-42834600643631478272011-05-18T18:23:34.024-07:002011-05-18T18:23:34.024-07:00Yeah, I'm back. I was just showing my husband...Yeah, I'm back. I was just showing my husband your cost analysis spread sheet (like, "look! isn't this neat?!" and HE asks "does she include the water she uses in her analysis? Because if she doesn't, that's not a true analysis."<br /><br />I had to restrain myself from punching him in the face. How fucking annoying.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611430258874396437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-44878002876142644562011-05-18T10:03:15.785-07:002011-05-18T10:03:15.785-07:00Wildflowers and bees, a perfect combination!

As for Gaura, I grew the 'Siskiyou Pink' variety at our last house. Never had more compliments on a plant in my life. I love watching their flowery stems sway in the breeze. Bees do love borage. Against my better judgment I planted one for the bees this year, but I have a feeling I may live to regret it as it's quite invasive. Funny how having bees makes one think a little differently about plants.Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-40836807076084724592011-05-17T17:23:44.928-07:002011-05-17T17:23:44.928-07:00I was motivated after commenting to google Perilla...I was motivated after commenting to google Perilla. Ho-ly shit. Listen to this, from a gardener in NJ:<br />"This plant is extremely invasive. Earlier this summer I completely cleared a bed of it and in a matter of 3 weeks it looked as if nothing had been done. This plant is right up there with mint in places where it isn't native. True the foliage is nice but I would never recommend this plant to anyone."<br /><br />CRAP.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611430258874396437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-22580901443193027332011-05-17T17:16:34.625-07:002011-05-17T17:16:34.625-07:00I love the meadow!

That shit will EAT EVERYTHING in sight. <br /><br />I, in a moment of weakness, asked for some from my friend's garden because my mom always liked it (and my mom had just died so yeah..). She asked me if I was "sure." Who asks that about a plant? And THEN she laughed maniacally when I planted it SEVERAL places in my yard. BIG MISTAKE. It is the pumpkin vine of decorative plants.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611430258874396437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-20952256084929280122011-05-17T16:24:26.521-07:002011-05-17T16:24:26.521-07:00Apparently, your mom's chard recommendation wa...Apparently, your mom's chard recommendation was not enough of a lesson for you.Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-35660761579094252052011-05-17T12:14:29.821-07:002011-05-17T12:14:29.821-07:00I have no gardening skillz and Matt says I should ...I have no gardening skillz and Matt says I should give up.

I ...LOVE the meadow! and the big fat bumble bee :)<br /><br />I have some guara, 3 of them, and they have not reseeded themselves anywhere. WTH? They are doing great though and all I've done to them is pull off the shaggy looking stuff it made over the winter.Julie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827476441219850741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-84671670822354396392011-05-17T10:55:36.186-07:002011-05-17T10:55:36.186-07:00Sweet.
