For those of you who don't read newsgroup rec.gardens, there is a cracking
gardening post there today. I've asked its author Marilyn ("Madgardener") if
she will crosspost it to urg, though some of you might have your software
set to reject such a lengthy post. You can read it in the google archive at
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.gardens

Thread title; Planting bulbs on a Winter's late afternoon.



(background for those who haven't encountered her befo M lives in rural
Tennessee with "Squire" (husband), a crammed garden and a load of pets, she
works at a "shed" garden centre)



Enjoy :-)

ok Janet, you've caused me sufficient blushing for my middle
age............lol I've got one for YOU................. I started posting
to wreck.gardens (rec.gardens) about 8 years ago. Around October of
1998.......or 1997. originally my e-mail address was .
but I changed it a few years ago to the ISDN line's address of
........here's the question (in my "marilyn" way LOL)
originally my posts were ALL there on deja.vu's archives. then google bought
or took over them when deja vu went out of operation. There was a couple of
gardeners over the pond there in your neighborhood who liked my writings and
rambles enough to ask if they could print them for themselves to keep or
share, and of course I said alright. I love to share

So, will you please come back and tell us how those bulbs fared in your
garden? And will you PLEASE send some of your writing to gardening
magazines, local papers etc? You have SUCH a gift and thank you for sharing
it here. Your writing is lyrical - I cannot begin to tell you how much I
enjoyed it - and I think it would be inspirational to any new gardener
fretting about how to start, where to start, whether they'll get it 'right'
- whatever 'right' is! Your writing is your own creation but my goodness, I
do wish you'd share it with a wider audience. IMO, it's exceptional. Thank
you for a few minutes of unalloyed gardening enjoyment.
