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.

What differentiates a bulb from a perennial plant is that the nourishment for the flower is stored within the bulb itself.…There is something miraculous about the way that a little grenade of dried up tissue can explode into a complete flower.

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.
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.
