Earth Day was yesterday. Plant Trees to Save Planet Earth. It is almost time for Gardening as the weather gets warmer. But Moving to THD I will no longer be able to actually do some gardening. However, this time of the year I can't help but think of my gardens in the Philippines 💚💚as well as In Fair Oaks, California.
Here's, a repost of my article on the subject for your reading pleasure.

2. “A weed is but an unloved flower.”

8. “You're not a gardener, are you? So perhaps you don't know that once a garden is established, much of good gardening is about removal rather than planting, honing what you have to produce a pleasing effect, sacrificing the particular for the good of the whole. Gardening is a creative pastime, but the result is always a work in progress; unlike a painting or a piece of music a garden is never fixed in time. ("In The Garden")”
― Rosalie Parker, The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror 21
9. “All gardening is landscape painting,' said Alexander Pope.”
― Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking
