The Vermont Gardener
December 8th, 2006 by Kathy Purdy · No Comments
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.

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. •
