Last time I checked there were no militant rebels with AK 47s running through my back yard.. and hey, there are people in this world that can't say that!!! <br /><br />Still, next year I'll be staking foxglove. Its just so annoying because those things take a year and half to bloom. argh. I'm also seeding 50 of them come august, to set out so I have some again for next year.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524574998937986323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-70256717050691257642011-04-25T08:18:27.590-04:002011-04-25T08:18:27.590-04:00p.s.

I, too, was rejoicing in the return of the hefty evening thunderstorms this spring, and even enjoying the cooler than usual temps. Maybe we'll have a quasi-normal summer. You never know. Whenever I'd complain about the weather, my granddaddy used to say, "You know what farmers say about the weather in North Georgia?" And I'd say, "No, what?" And he'd answer, deadpan, "We'll take it when it comes."Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-86399026760692368002011-04-24T22:49:43.913-04:002011-04-24T22:49:43.913-04:00You have beautiful garden!

On the other hand, it sounds like you avoided the worst of it. Something chewed through my washer fluid hose too. I liked to think of it as a mouse and not a rat.

I agree with the advice about bringing the broken foxgloves in and enjoying them in vases; that's what I do when my delphiniums get broken by wind and rain (which they almost always do!). But, oh, it's so hard to see our plant babies flattened. -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-80014199538458183232011-04-23T19:53:29.095-04:002011-04-23T19:53:29.095-04:00That was some wind, foxgloves are usually quite st...That was some wind, foxgloves are usually quite sturdy.
