I am now in my early 70s and still gardening with help.I wonder if you read my post in "Winter Gardening" My name is LuSeal-dummy name- really Lucille and I write just for a little Garden club newsletter. I wrote about How to Garden if you want to do it as you are older. Read it, and tell me what you think. I am coming back to this spot tomorrow morning and then I will read about you. We are in the midst of a wonderful snowstorm and I must go to bed as I love to get up early and move around in the early morning snow. Actually it, still will be snowing.

I've learned way more by waiting and listening, than by reading books, making lists and leaping into the fray from impatience, blind enthusiasm or sheer seasonal desperation. In our crazy culture, the skill of abiding until action is clear is always a challenge to acquire. I fear, with the advent of instant information constantly increasing, people have even less chance of ever developing patience and the knowledge that right timing comes from listening very quietly, within and without and sometimes for a very long time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239798951473493987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-76353266746841956402011-01-08T06:37:14.750-06:002011-01-08T06:37:14.750-06:00The timing of this post couldn't be better for...The timing of this post couldn't be better for me. Upstate NY just got another 7 inches of snow and I recently read a book on edible landscaping which has got me pondering moving a clematis on a trellis and trying cherry tomatoes there. Not a huge project, but something different to try and fun to think about until May/June when it could really be done. Plus, I get to put a jackmani clem some place where it will be more appreciated by me. I think it wants that, hehe.

The fact that you only have 6 things on your list shows impressive restraint. My gardens are buried around about 6 feet of snow but I 'know' almost every flower that's sleeping under there and I'm busying myself making a massive list of companion plants. Plus fountains, new fences and la dee dah. If it keeps us sane in January, let's do it. :)Kate/High Altitude Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690999267357525527noreply@blogger.com
