Thank you for the warm comments and just grinning and related.

I’m delighted that as a true farmer you could relate to backyard plantings. My favorite plant is always the morning glories. I low their twisting vines, aggressive growths and the daily explosions of fresh flowers.

They’re the MBA class - the eager young go-getters of the plant world. ‘Look at us,” they seem to cry to the mid-level managers, ‘we were growing on Sunday - and nobody works on Sunday!’

I’ve been a backyard gardener since 4th grade when my mom gave me 4 square feet of her sprawling empire. I planted snap dragons and marigolds. Things aren’t too different now that I garden along side an enormous big box organic farm, but hey, its my 4 square feet and I’m even planting zinnias in addition to marigolds!

thanks again for the post and keep em coming!
