If you are not killing plants, you are not really stretching yourself as a gardener.

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.

Hoot!
ReplyDeleteSo that's what I am doing? Stretching?
Don't 'ya love that quote? Makes us all feel better about our failures!
ReplyDeleteYEAH...I thought I was a loser of a gardener lately and all I was doing was "Stretching" myself as a gardener. LOL great quote. Zoey, my black eyed susans that I got about 2 weeks ago are sooooo crunchy leaved and wilted that I thought they were dead for good...I ended up trying something tonight to see if I can bring them back. Wish me luck and I'll tell ya if it worked or not. It was something that you do when transplanting.

Hmmm...interesting quote. I guess some people forget that lack of rain, high temps, etc. have a lot to do with gardening. If the plants flourish, then thank goodness you are doing something right. : )
