Welcome to Perennial Passion
About Me
- Diana LaMarre
- Michigan, United States
- I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently. During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings. I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

Not sure I could walk in those shoes. lol what a sight that would be. I can see it now "This just in... woman found in garden tangled up in hose...'big shoes' number 1 suspect."
ReplyDeleteShorts and bare feet for me. Way too hot for anything else.
Bare feet, Kerry? You must not have to walk through any tall plants with dark unknown areas underneath! LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL. That's too funny. I'd be wearing them too.

im a barefoot garder too :) heck I hike bare foot sometimes too, unless the ticks are out in force. Snakes? I think are so cool :) I have one for a pet.

ReplyDeleteSorry bout that last one. I can't spell.
ReplyDeleteCritters don't bother me. I've never been bitten by a snake and had plenty of chances. One year I was gathering wild blackberries (with shoes on as they were thorny) and I stepped out into a small clearing. I heard the rattle of a rattler. Never did see the snake but I very slowly stepped back into the vines where I came from and she/he calmed down. I just didn't go over in that area any more to pick. Most snakes will only bite when cornered. For the others, if they really want me, shoes or not they will get me so I might as well be comfortable till then.
Hi Zoey,
ReplyDeleteCame from Sandy's sight. Love this. I'm a total barefoot gardener. However, earlier this summer, one slithered across my foot, and it had to be two feet long. I screamed so high, only the dogs could hear. I am still reconsidering, but I have also memorized where they live. So it might be barefeet still.
Kerry, Mrs. Wilson, you have definitely given strenth to my "no shoes No gardening theory"! LOL
ReplyDeleteI always start out with shoes but end up barefoot.The shoes are handy when I run the mower and weed eater and I have only seen 1 snake here and that was last summer, thankfully.
