Hollyhocks, bee balm, decorative sweet peas, and a lot of stuff I don't know the name of, but you planted, still thrives. And of course the peonies, day lillies, and lilacs that have been there forever. We really planted the garden this year too, with lettuce, tomatoes (as usual not ready before we left, but grilled green tomatoes were great), beans, basil, parsley, oregeno, thyme, and garlic. I thought of you and missed you with every plant and seed put in the ground and with every strike of the pitchfork. The compost pile you started was all mixed in at the beginning of the season and did wonders.<BR/><BR/>The garden and the kitties miss you, and so do I.kniticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12482169665812532216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-66513600920932204892007-07-30T18:53:00.000-07:002007-07-30T18:53:00.000-07:00http://bugguide.net/node/view/7997/bgimageIshhttp://bugguide.net/node/view/7997/bgimage<BR/><BR/>IshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-51946163899022331552007-07-29T07:26:00.000-07:002007-07-29T07:26:00.000-07:00How about that green bee?

Glad your garden is lovely---for some fun and unique stuff that thrives in our California clime, I've had good luck with some items from Annie's Annuals (there are some perennials there too). I do believe they are on your side of the bay, though many good nurserys have stuff from them. <BR/><BR/>It really is quite magical, photosynthesis and all-- I am truly amazed by it as I hack through the overgrowth of wisteria here in my yard... <BR/><BR/>AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-42459081913994561342007-07-28T21:25:00.000-07:002007-07-28T21:25:00.000-07:00Our little house came with a little bit of garden ...Our little house came with a little bit of garden ground, and I dug in it today.

(besides the rat manure, eh) The alpaca manure I got from my neighbors seems to be doing its job, I've got teeny tiny squashes, cucumbers and cherry tomatos growing. Also red indian corn that is up to my knee.<BR/><BR/>The neighborhood robins seem to like everything we plant, and so help out with the bug situation. I just wish they could pull weeds. Do you fertilize your garden at all?<BR/><BR/>AnnalisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-82592526885403427432007-07-28T17:18:00.000-07:002007-07-28T17:18:00.000-07:00That's a BEE?

Any idea...The bee, the flower, your pic -- lovely. Any idea what kind of bee that is?<BR/><BR/>You should know I always think of you as I walk past your old apartment on St. Paul Street on my way to Eddie's and marvel at the size of the tree you planted and the hardy flowers that still blossom in full in-your-face rebellious beauty in spite of years of neglect from the itinerate Hopkins students that occupy the building. Makes me think of you every time I pass. Just so you know, the OCD lady up the street from your old place still carefully trims her carpet of white flowery foliage with a tiny scissors, though she's not nearly as obssessive about it as when you were here, so I'm not nearly as tempted to mess with her by inflicting late night guerilla gardening of the lush and Watteau variety in her carefully manicured front plot.<BR/><BR/>Got any pictures of the full garden you created? I remember the trashy, rat-infested space from last summer and would love to see what it looks like now!<BR/><BR/>xo<BR/>GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00620812321822211147noreply@blogger.com
