A Gardener's Notes

Thanks to all who’ve been coming to this blog. I’ve gotten a couple of comments. In response to the blog about gathering seeds, one person said you could also just let the seeds scatter over the winter!! Oh yes, I hope everyone leaves seed pods to scatter in the wind. Also for the birds and other critters who eat seeds. I DO like to gather seeds so I can be SURE I have some plants exactly where I want them!! And I like to give seeds away!

Another person mentioned that there is no scientific proof that roses like banana peels. Maybe not. I believe I can see my roses perk up when I’ve given them their banana peels. But nope, no scientific proof!!

No scientific proof for marigolds keeping mosquitos away either, except that I have NO bites and that’s enough to keep me planting a nice thick border of marigolds around the patio!!

Keep your comments coming. I love them and have been shocked at the number of readers this blog has generated!!!! Thanks againl!!
