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

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)
What a *fabulous* piece of writing. I was right there with them, sorting
the bulbs and Maddie crouching in her garden, planting them and laughing at
the antics of her animals. If she isn't writing for a living, she should
be! Many thanks, Janet. And please thank Maddie for some moments of real
pleasure. She writes in a way that makes me think of Garrison Keillor and
his Lake Woebegone stories.
