Hi Anne~Thank you for dropping by my blog and commenting on my wind chimes and stuff. Boy, your garden + my chimes = WoW! Seriously, we could use you over here at our place in Roberts Creek~ we have been working non-stop this year, and the garden is still a disaster. Garden is hardly the word!
Anyway, nice to meet you. I also will come back and check out your blog more when I am not so tired. Also, I could not find you on Etsy??? Tim
Gardening Question of the Day for Sunday, April 13, 2008

I have some steep, sunny banks around the house that are difficult to mow. What should I plant that will cover well, hold the soil, and look nice? (answer).

Spring fling, part 2??.are we having fun or what?
(Via Idaho Gardener)
Hard to believe that a week ago today I was being chauffeured around Austin by the lovely Pam Pennick and our fellow spring flingers racing from one garden to the next, each one a paradise unto itself, more fabulous than I could imagine. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING quite floats my boat like a garden tour. I am still a-dither just revisiting each of these gardens today by looking at the pictures again. Love those digital cameras. LOVE THEM!
Today, for your viewing pleasure, dear reader, feast your eyes on the lovely Lucinda’s home and cha-cha garden. She had also prepared some mango/pineapple punch, with fresh limes and champagne………served with exquisite Mexican pastries. I am tellin’ ya, it doesn’t get much better than this……..until the next time……….or the next.
For an elegant, one of a kind, Texas garden, get yourself to this one (on the Garden Conservancy Tour): The David/Peese home and garden in Austin. The home is built of humble materials, all put together in the most elegant manner. I know, I used elegant a couple times to describe this place, but no other word works as well. The house is created with cinder/concret block or CMUs (concrete masonry units), painted wooden floors, corrugated tin, concrete slabs, steel I-Beams and the indigenous, abundant Texas limestone.
Check out some more pictures of the David/Peese garden, here, on Pam’s Digging entry of October 2006. Different season, more plants.

Now, if you can believe it, I still have one more entry to come on the Fabulous Fling. Stay tuned.

Courage
(Via The Blogging Nurseryman - The Art of Running a Small Garden Center or Nursery)
Courage is something that seems lacking these days. The courage to speak you mind, the courage to try something new, the courage to admit mistakes and move on, etc. So its great to hear of stories that involve courage and overcoming fears. Pam at Digging has such a story about her recent public speaking event. [...]
