Having had to eat tulip bulbs to survive, the malnutrition prevented her from pursuing a career in ballet. Frail all her life. Thanks again, fascists. "Make Germany Great Again". Adolph Hitler

Make the earth a greener place .Wow ! Was thinking I was alone here , at 3:14A.M. , but just noticed there are five others in the gardner's group up and on line .

Some of us were sound asleep in their bed because they spent the day digging in their garden by hand because they couldn't get the rototiller started. 
I'm with you but when I think of who will enjoy it after me I always hope it will be broader spectrum of creatures than just we two-leggeds.
My start in the garden was as a non-gardening spouse drudge who would re-issue the warning that whatever plant she put in the hole I was digging would surely perish unless she tended it. At the time I favored food plants. Now the entire garden is my play thing and I don't plant any vegetables and have been taking fruit trees out without putting new ones in.
My own interest in making a garden began when, instead of constructing another still larger outdoor aviary, I decided to enhance the garden to make it more useful to birds and insects. Of course along the way I became as interested in the plants as in the birds so what has resulted is a compromise between serving nature and serving my own emerging aesthetic sense.
