About Gardens & Gardening - Collected works

Cool!

Cool. I did several on my garden too. I paid for most of it with Gather gift cards and a really great sale I hit at a roadside garden sale.

Thanks, Chuck. Hope you enjoy it!

Shelley, I think I remember reading about your garden sometime ago...will have to go back and re-read!

Thanks Sonia, I adore your garden!!!

Thank you, Apryl...it is time to start working on it again!

Thanks for the links...maybe if I think about gardens I won't notice that the windchill is below zero and the real temp is currently 12 degrees. Don't you feel just spoiled sometimes Sonia?

Brrrrrrrr.... Sue, I remember being in temps that low and lower, but am so glad I don't live there now!!!

Yes, I do feel very spoiled and love it..........

Great! Thank you.

Enjoy!

Thank you so much for this great list, Sonia. I had no idea you´d been so prolific on Gather. Talk about a Renaissance gal with a green thumb as well.

Pensaba que iba a gustar esta canción chilena sobre el jardin, ¡amiga linda mía!

La jardinera

(Texto y música de Violeta Parra)

Tonada

Para olvidarme de ti
voy a cultivar la tierra;
en ella espero encontrar
remedio para mi pena.
Aquí plantaré el rosal
de las espinas más gruesas;
tendré lista la corona
para cuando en mí te mueras.

Para mi tristeza, violeta azul;
clavelina roja, pa' mi pasión;
y para saber si me corresponde,
deshojo un blanco manzanillón;
si me quiere mucho, poquito o nada,
tranquilo queda mi corazón.

Creciendo irán poco a poco
los alegres pensamientos;
cuando ya estén florecidos,
irá lejos tu recuerdo.
De la flor de la amapola
seré su mejor amiga;
la pondré bajo la almohada
para dormirme tranquila.

Cogollo de toronjil
cuando me aumenten las penas;
las flores de mi jardín
han de ser mis enfermeras.
Y si acaso yo me ausento
antes que tú te arrepientas,
heredarás estas flores:
ven a curarte con ellas.

cuando me aumenten las penas;
las flores de mi jardín
han de ser mis enfermeras.

Bello!!!
Me gusto mucho la cancion - me encantaria oir la musica!

I guess looking back on "all my works" I have been quite prolific in Gather, but I would not go as far as calling me a Renaissance gal...;-) I do have the green thumb, though (for certain plants...I cannot grow a rose or lavender here to save my life ...rains too much!!!

I do love it that you think I am, though!!!!
Thank you, Juanito. You can always lift my spirits!

I see you are still listing. You are far braver, or more patient, than I am, my friend.

;-)))

Patient, I think, and very organized! Thank you , Sonia, for even saying the word "garden" - Sue must live in NH, as it is now 9 here and falling, and sheer ice everywhere. I look forward to re-reading your gardening articles, and wishing I was somewhere warm - and green!

Katrina, this is more like biting the bullet than patience. I started looking for some of my older articles and was having a heck of a time - the way Gather makes you go page by page to go to earlier ones is very annoying- - so in self defense, I took a clue from Ron Appell and decided to "map my articles" except I'm taking it a step further and doing it by categories... I knew it was going to be a job, but didn't count on how tedious!!!
At least I'm getting it done and saving them to a special file folder in my documents by categories so it will be much easier to find them!

It is warmer here and of course, green - but for us it is still chilly when it gets down to 60F LOL

Oh, for 60 degrees outside!

;-))) It is nice!
