House Beautiful Readers, Welcome
by Kathy Purdy on May 23, 2010
Cold Climate Gardening has a tiny bit-part in House Beautiful’s June issue
. If you happen to subscribe or see a copy for sale, turn to page 40 and check out the top right part of the page. If you don’t manage to get hold of a copy, no worries. It is a shortened version of my post about ‘Lauren’s Grape’ poppy and ‘Dark Towers’ penstemon. If you are a House Beautiful reader and are visiting for the first time because of the photo feature, thank you so much for going to the trouble of typing in the website address. I hope you find a lot of useful information. Don’t be afraid to comment on this or any other post, and click on almost any photo to get a larger version.

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. •

That’s just awesome, Kathy, congratulations. I don’t have a house-beautiful, that’s for sure, nor do I have either of these plants–yet.
You’re such a bad influence on me…

Now THAT is cool, Kathy! Congratulations!
I hope my ‘Lauren’s Grape’ do well for me this year. Last year’s…such teeny tiny things.
