A Thistle in My Sensitive Area. Man vs. Nature vs. Local Bureaucracy. Be very, very quiet…. Above it all →. A place to land. August 6, 2012. The photography is furniture is difficult. I should have an all-white background, the piece should be raised up, and the lighting should control glare; I am very sorry to not have these things, because the piece deserves it. You can’t always garden. Sometimes you need to go inside and take your muddy Bogs. My father is 80, and his ‘hand’ is not what it o...Of Black ...

Change of Mind, Change of Heart (part two). February 20, 2013. I think I’ll go around those trees and behind that stump, and build some sort of play structure. For two years I had thought that the $5,000 which I set aside was a Survival Bond on the original 289 native plants. Vine maple ‘Pacific fire’ among the yell...Enough an...

In Which an Award is Presented To a Plant from the Carboniferous Period. February 25, 2012 · 4:10 pm. Whiskey Sours, Camelia Japonica Platinum, and iPads for everyone. I’ve taken a long hiatus from blogging on Visionary Gleam, a fact that has been noticed by all twelve of my regular readers, who have been struggling to find meaning in their lives without the wit and wisdom of the zen master of incompetent gardening. I may miss some of the red carpet stuff, as a dinner will keep me out until 8:30 or so (I...

Mad Dabblings in a City Garden: November 2012
http://whoneedsflowers.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 1, 2012. If youre squeamish about mice you can stop reading now. I am rather fond of them. And though I cant tell one from the other, we have several that romp around the house, most frequently around the kitchen, where they skitter across the counters when the lights are out and were immersed in something cultural on TV, like Survivor or Dancing with the Stars. They are usually unnoticed except for our occasional need for refreshment. Look at this Face! His most recent announcement, ...

Mad Dabblings in a City Garden: July 2013
http://whoneedsflowers.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 15, 2013. Why do I feel like a wastrel when lying abed on a sunny Sunday afternoon, nose to book, and somehow industrious when doing the same while basted and splayed out at the beach?

Sunday, October 21, 2012. Dracunculus Vulgaris, My Holy Grail? I recently decided to begin fiddling with twitter and am reveling in my popularity. In virtually no time - just a few weeks- I have ten followers. Some might say eight, since the list includes my daughter and my sister who charitably plonked my twitter follow button, which will probably be the end of their involvement with my communications. Of people that are talking to themselves. . Posted by Stephanie Cavanaugh. Links to this post. Theres ...

If climate change continues, might I suggest this as your garden statuary? 8220;I will never drive a Prius! 8221; retort the defiant multitudes. And then we go on constructing our Golden SUV’s. Our Golden Calf. Don't say you weren't warned. Mr Gore was very specific about that. Americans have a pretty good reason to distrust the climate scientists. At the end of th...
