Gardening While Intoxicated: GWI does 2007: a very good year indeed

http://martagon.blogspot.com/2007/12/gwi-does-2007-very-good-year-indeed.html

Thursday, December 27, 2007. GWI does 2007: a very good year indeed. You don’t want to know. I join Garden Rant! There is sort of a regimen—I post twice a week whether I have something to say or not—but that’s actually what’s good. It forces me to look outside my own garden and think about the bigger issues affecting all gardeners. And find out about cool garden-related stuff that’s happening around the world. For the first time. Lily time is here, and all decide to bloom pretty much at once, thanks agai...

A Tramp in the (Organic) Garden: Incarcerated Lettuce

http://atrampintheorganicgarden.blogspot.com/2007/03/incarcerated-lettuce.html

A Tramp in the (Organic) Garden. Seeds, Smack Talk and Assorted Gardening Madness in South Pasadena, Los Angeles. Thursday, June 14, 2007. So my husband decided it would be a good idea to take that roll of chain link fence from the basement and construct a physical barrier. It worked for a while against the critters, but what I also found out is that it kept ME out of the garden as well. Who wants to look at your veggies in tha clink? It's coming down today! It's been too long. Posted by Loretta @ 9:03 PM.

Gardening While Intoxicated: A pretty weed, ID'd.

http://martagon.blogspot.com/2012/07/pretty-weed-id.html

Sunday, July 08, 2012. A pretty weed, IDd. After pulling bales of this out of my garden a few years back, I encountered it again in a charming garden on Euclid, in Lockport. It's part of Lockport in Bloom. (No linkie from this mobile post.). It looks great here, and I discovered its name: commelina communis (Asian Dayflower). You've seen it everywhere, I bet, but it rarely looks as nice as this. Ill continue to enjoy it from a distance. Thanks again for the excellent excursion. Hope to see you soon.

The Plant Hunter: December 2014

http://plant-quest.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

A Peak Into the Future. One of the fun things about working at a wholesale, liner (starter plant) nursery is that you get to see into the future. That's because the new plant varieties we sell today don't hit retail stores until after our customer's grow them a year or two into larger retail-sized plants. So when I analyse our current orders, I get a glimpse of what will be in garden centers in a year or two. Would you like to see into the future? Brite Pink Crape Myrtle. Blue Chip Jr' Buddleia. What in ...
