How it really is
July 18th, 2004 by Kathy Purdy · 2 Comments
The author of Sunny Side Studio knows how to translate gardenspeak. Here’s a sampling of the wisdom to be found in his most recent post:
Wild life garden – an area that has been completely neglected.
Bog garden – a badly drained area that it is impossible to cultivate in any way.
Wild flower meadow – a lawn that is overrun by buttercup and badly needs mowing.
You’ll have to go to his blog to read the rest. This man knows whereof he speaks.

About Kathy Purdy
Kathy Purdy discovered the joys of writing in fourth grade, when she started corresponding with a former classmate. She's been writing letters ever since, first on looseleaf, then electronically, and now as weblog entries. That makes you, the blog reader, her pen pal. Her first independent (though frustrating) attempts at gardening were made in high school, though the gardening bug didn't bite hard until her mid-thirties, when she found herself mistress of a rural home on 15 acres. •

I love the way he uses garden examples to comment on politics. It’s something I would love to do but I am afraid i am not clever enough.

Very, very quirky and funny! I think it’s a testament to his talents that I find him so entertaining to read even though I suspect that I would not be pulling the same lever as he would in the polling booth.
