Marigolds

they keep the bad bugs out and invite the right ones in.

you could learn a lot from a marigold

I have been learning a lot from the older folk at the community garden

they come on gently asking me question to assess whether i know anything about anything

then its on for a least a half an hour

good bugs, bad bugs, what grows, what doesn't, what keeps the dear away, oh hey look at that blue bird...

I am leaving for Chicago on wednesday for a printmaking conference. I am going to have to pack up all my planting stuff and bring it along. hopefully our hotel room gets good sun light.
