Dirty hands and what they touch. a Gardener with no garden. Out With The Ferns, In With The.Oxalis? Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Out With The Ferns, In With The.Oxalis? Of menial maintenance tasks such as weeding. Therefore, I have no great attachment to the grasses, dandelions and liverworts I disgustedly pluck from my pots when they begin to obscure my beloved plants. The native), and Angelica. Abound, to name a few. Thursday, September 25, 2008. Thank you, but I'll pass on the sharpened, curved cheese...

Callus and Chlorophyll: May 2009

Dirty hands and what they touch. a Gardener with no garden. Leave Something To The Professionals. On Flame Throwers and Innocence. Make Yourself at Home. Not The I Word. The Rites of Spring. Saturday, May 23, 2009. Between each season's gasp for breath. A moment's leased relief. Does lapse into the next refrain. Then comatose, as excess yawns. A snarl of rotted teeth. That chewed each cloying bloom and leaf. That bored the hungry need. For color after lifeless months. For the next pneumatic pulse of life.

Dirty hands and what they touch. a Gardener with no garden. Wind Through The Trees. Thursday, January 15, 2009. Here I may as well slay the hunting analogy, as there is an undeniable lack of harrowing kill-or-be-killed importance to the taming of a feral garden. There is, nevertheless, an urgency felt by the passionate gardener to do something. Now, at first glance, spreading foul-smelling but nutritious excrement beneath the midwinter olfactory sirens of Sarcococca. Arnold Promise' outside my door that ...

Callus and Chlorophyll: February 2009

Dirty hands and what they touch. a Gardener with no garden. Saturday, February 28, 2009. There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just come right out with it. But now that I've gotten to know you better and I've seen what you're like away from the nursery, I know you're not the plant for me. I'm sorry, sometimes you just make me so angry, and I don't want to be angry anymore. I'll always remember you (mostly because you're in everybody's yard). Thursday, February 19, 2009. For all its prudish disinclinat...

Dirty hands and what they touch. a Gardener with no garden. Old Faithful (Hori Hori R.I.P. #3). Hori Hori R.I.P. #2. Saturday, October 24, 2009. And, hopefully, to take a lesson or two with me. A lot of our belongings are ruined. one by one discovered lousy with mold, to be tossed into triage piles of things we never thought we'd have to clean, to throw away or to keep as priceless but with the caveat that spores spare not the sentimental. And this pile for those who didn't make the cut. let's pour o...

Dirty hands and what they touch. a Gardener with no garden. Call Me. John. Thursday, November 12, 2009. Call Me. John. Don't call me John. It's not my name. I know that on this blog I've not used my real name, but rest assured that it is not Maranta. nor is it John. Only one person is allowed to call me John and that is because he thinks it is my name and has been using it for some time now. It's my own fault really. Who cares if they were calling me 'John', maybe someone told him that was my name, maybe...

Dirty hands and what they touch. a Gardener with no garden. Curse Of The Hederahelix. What I Tell Myself. Friday, March 27, 2009. Just an inch or two. Until you go digging. And you always go digging. Turning spades and thoughts in turn. To see what's under squirm. Friday, March 20, 2009. Curse Of The Hederahelix. Therefore: get rid of the ivy. If you take from me one piece of advice and ignore all else, let this be it. Seems more mythical serpent monster than plant. It can't be true! Oh God What do we do!
