A Plea for Help

July 5th, 2005 · 2 Comments

This is bugging me so much I actually was dreaming about it, so I hope you can help. I still can’t figure out on which blog I read about the weeding poppies rule (see previous post). I think it is the same blog that posted about Campanula rapunculoides, the Roving (to put it mildly) Bellflower. So can anyone tell me which gardener blogged about the Roving Bellflower in the past couple of months? They had photos of the roots and said they had to get it out of their rock walls.

Sixty percent chance of rain today. I hope that means 60% chance of steady rain today, and not 60% chance of sprinkles.

I am going to upgrade my version of WordPress …

A Good Gardening Day

July 2nd, 2005 · 2 Comments

With the heat and incredible humidity we’ve been having, I’ve basically been ignoring the garden, with the exception of watering the few starts from a friend that I put in the ground just before this most recent heat wave began. Most of them are toast, anyway, despite my best efforts. But today, today was a Good Gardening Day. Although we missed the thunderstorm with its attendant rain, the “cold” front it ushered in is here with its reduced humidity and balmy breezes. Perfect weather for weeding, although I could wish the soil were moist.
