Re: Healthy Skepticism for a Healthy Garden - Win A Free Copy of The Informed Gardener!

Hi Billy, How do we know if what we believe is a myth or not? I am trying hard to think of a myth but either I dont' believe any and am therefore DeMythtified.
Or I am living a mythtery?
Help! Pick me so I can figure a way out of this paper bag!

Re: The American Meadow Garden : Win A Free Copy of John Greenlee's Book!

Dear Billy and Saxon and John, I love this book. I want this book! The photos make me drool!
But really John had me at "hello!" with his reminiscence about the grass bombs of his childhood! HA!
"Gotcha!" Was the wild cry from behind the tall green waves.

That was just so dear to my heart; remembering my own Southern California summers; running through fields and up hills hiding in the tall grasses that filled those 'vacant lots' that disappeared all too soon in the urban sprawl!

I believe that is where my romance with wild flowers began, the crisp stems and seed heads I often gathered to create everlasting bouquets. Ahh, the smell of a warm summer breeze and the sting in the eye from the smog...well, most of those memories are good... Thank you all!
