Thought Provoking List
June 24th, 2005 by Kathy Purdy · 1 Comment
Found via Marmalade.ca: Ten things that gardening has taught me. I strongly agree with some of the items on the list, and disagree with others. I think plenty good can be said about weeding, and I don’t think “geraniums are to gardening what parsley is to cooking.” But then, I use parsley for flavoring, not decoration. The commenters had their own words of wisdom to add.
I always find things to blog about when I should be doing something else. In this case, phone calls. I hate making phone calls. Especially to insurance companies.

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. •

Gardening is about 90% weeding. Unfortunately.
