Many times I’ve said there is not much to gardening except recognition. Naturally, love of the subject is a huge plus.

I want to complain about the hot and humid weather but given the situation in most of the country I cannot justify it.

I’m a broken record. I’ve done nothing all week but complain about the lack of rain.

I come from a long line of women who preserved food.

I have no one to blame but myself. I spent Monday’s holiday making sense of my own yard.

I heard on the radio that a mere 3/10 of an inch of rain fell the entire month of June. I feel totally aware of that fact.
