Hi Nickie,I don't know the first thing about harvesting and growing stuff from seed...I collected some daylily seeds last fall and have them here on my desk...What do I need to do with them before I stick them in some dirt? Any other advice would be much

Laying a lawn is one of the most simple and effective ways of covering a garden for low maintenance, and for use with a family or pets. By laying a lawn, or growing your own, you can create an attractive feature which requires very little upkeep, and compliments any practical garden fantastically well.

It is generally accepted by historians and geologists that a number of once flourishing ancient civilizations in different parts of the world, declined and disappeared, as it became increasingly difficult to grow sufficient plants for food, clothing and industry. This is known to have occurred for example in parts of the Middle East, India and California. Over time, not only did the soils' fertility decline, but they degenerated to the point where agricultural practice actually became impossible to sustain.

Revive the Victorian Tradition of secret floral messages. A truly unique romantic gift idea.

Sheeeeesh. Just had a moment when I realized I didn’t tell the truth. The whole truth and nothing but. In the entry about too much time away from home, I said I was here in May. Wrong again, daisy breath. I was off galavanting with my garden chums in the City of Angels during their Open Days program. Bad MA. Bad Bad MA.
It kind of cracked me up that I can’t remember where the hell I have been. Then I remembered a comic strip I adore: Sylvia by Nicole Hollander. Of course, the Idaho Statesman can’t run anything as racey as Sylvia, so I have to surreptitiously go to her comics website to see the latest installation. One of my favorites of all time was the one titled: “The woman who lies in her journal.” That would be me but instead of a journal it’s on my blog. For the whole world (alright, all 10 of you) to read.
OK, let me make it up to you. Here are some photos, a little LA garden eye candy, if you will:

Happy new Year from the garden birds. They are eating the fat balls, this acrobatic blue tit flew in and gripped the cage with his feet. The robin had been doing the same earlier.
December 2007 has seen the most page loads of the entire year, surpassing even the Summer months. I must be doing something right :)
May all your New Years be beautiful, and all your plants flourish and give you pleasure and healing in equal measures. I am working nights again, so I will be at work when the traditional Big Ben clock at Westminister tolls midnight, and sounds in the the new year "2008".
I'll raise a glass of non alcoholic drink if its not busy.
Hope to see you all soon. Best wishes to the Blogosphere, all the garden blog readers, and my regular commenters.... from the Snappy Gardener, all the well fed garden birds, and the plants.

Works of art definitely have their place in the garden. A fine sculpture often functions as the focal point in a composition. However one does not necessarily have to go to the expense of procuring a man-made artifact or alternatively, one outstanding piece of sculpture can be supported by other less dramatic objects.

Sometimes captions are just superfluous. May your sense of humor remain intact, may good health attend you in 2008 and may you always appreciate the sometimes ironical juxtaposition of everyday events.
Wishing you joy and peace in the New Year!
