Christopher Lloyd and I apparently share the same philosophy: “We’re so restricted in so many areas of our lives ? have fun with gardening.” Well, that comes pretty close to Kathy’s First Rule of Gardening, which is, “If it’s not fun, don’t do it. Don’t turn your hobby into a chore.” This article by Valerie Easton is a glimpse into Lloyd’s personality and his gardens at Great Dixter. I enjoy his wit but am glad he’s never had the chance to use it on me.
In its own way, frost may be one of the most beautiful things to happen in your garden all year . . . Don’t miss it. Like all true beauty, it is fleeting. It will grace your garden for but a short while this morning. . . . For this moment, embrace frost as the beautiful gift that it is.
