I owe it to Rick Anderson of the Whispering Crane Institute to finally nudge me over to The Vermont Gardener and take a look. I had seen VermontFlowerFarm join the Gardening group at LibraryThing and had checked out the profile, but never got any further than that.
Turns out I’ve been missing a real gem. George Africa writes with gentle humor and a real love of plants–all plants–and everything in the natural world. I particularly enjoy his adventures with Karl the wonder dog. (There’s a bit of affectionate sarcasm in that moniker.) George and his wife have been running a professional nursery for decades, so interspersed with his quiet meditations you’ll find some excellent garden advice, such as his recent remarks on hostas. I’ve just added his feed to my Bloglines account and after visiting his site, I bet you’ll want to do the same.
