          The Chelsea Flower Show 2008 has been taking place this week and amongst the showy big-budget affairs you can always pick out a few clever and inspiring designs. Three of my favourite ideas were: 1) The walls on the “Pemberton Greenish Recess Garden” by Paul Hensey and Neil Lucas. Awarded a Silver Gilt Medal.           One of the main designers is Paul Hensey based in Lancashire, England. His background is in product design and I think his roots shine through brillia

I have been working on a new flower garden out by the mailbox at the end of the driveway. I tore out the scattered grass and weeds, removed some sand, and added some soil and compost. Yesterday, I planted many tiny wintersown seedlings in the new flower garden.

[Better Said Now Than Never Said At All] - May 23,2008
There isn’t really a category for this particular blog, because INCOMPETENCE, is not on the list. Now maybe my spelling is a bit jacked up, but at least if I am doing a job, I get the job done right the first time rather than spend countless hours doing nothing and doing it all wrong.

Marsh Marigold The bright yellow flowers of the marsh marigold (Caltha palustris) are easy to mistake for the cowslip (primula veris). Both are widespread over Europe, Asia, and the U.S. However, the cowslip is a denizen of fields and pastures while the marsh marigold inhabits sloughs and stream banks. The marsh marigold has been used for medicinal purposes throughout history and has appeared in literature as far back as the time of Shakespeare. The complete plant is edible but bitter i
