Coffee In the GardenRead the article this discussion is about
This archived discussion is "read only".
» CarolWallace - What a great rule! I start out that way every day - coffee cup in hand I stroll along the garden closest to the house and slowly make a circuit that encompasses all of the different gardens. I mkae it past the first few with no problem - just excitement as I notice new things - we cleared a lot o overhead trees and I am constantly being surprised by new wildflowers that had lain dormant while the area was in darkness.But I never seem to make it all the way through - and when I get to the walled garden with its convenient table I inevitably find myself setting down the coffee cup so that I can pull a weed or deadhead the daylilies - and before I know it the coffee is cold and I have started my working day without meaning to. I'm going to adopt your rule now! It seems like a much better way to enjoy trhe garden. And I am extremely jealous of your Bishop of Llandaff dahlias. They are my dream dahlias, too - but I only managed to find them once - last year with the dreadful drought - and they didn't survive. -- posted by CarolWallace » Rocksy - Re: What a great rule! In response to message posted by CarolWallace:I find that my ritual is to sit in the evening after everything is done, and admire what I have accomplished thruought the day. In the evening it is usually a cold beer, lol and during the afternoon it's iced tea . I love getting out first thing in the morning and going all day @ my own pace. I just can't wait for spring this year! I have so many ideas that I want to implement. All I need is the time, money, and someone to do the digging!

And you'll find Mary's advice to be excellent - she's a very experienced gardener. A good discovery for you! -- posted by CarolWallace » Rocksy - Re: Re: What a great rule! In response to message posted by CarolWallace:Carol, I just ended up back in here thru a page that I found thru one of your articles about Sanctuary Gardens, that I found thru Debs. garden chat followup discussion. rotfl. The suite really amazes me.....I bookmarked the 40+ page so I can surf around from there. I don't know how I didn't find it before. That's one of the things that I like so much about "suite" There is nothing that you can't find thru here, and a lot of articles that I happen upon thru other sites have a Suite 101 approval on them......lol Marian -- posted by Rocksy » Burwell47 - Re: Trying again In response to message posted by Rocksy:Why stop at coffee, its not everybody`s cup of tea?..How good you feel when you are full, how satisfied with yourselve and with the world. Its possible that you feel more forgiving with a full stomach? more noble and kind hearted,and ready to take in the real beauty of your yard or garden. -- posted by Burwell47
