THE EVENING GARDEN CLUB WISHES OUR FELLOW GARDENERS A FUN SPRING SOCIALLY DISTANT WALK!

"Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you."--Langston Hughes

"A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows."--Doug Larson

"Gardening requires lots of water - most of it in the form of perspiration."--Lou Erickson
from Mike Garofalo’s Pulling Onions --

**When all the chores are done, the avid gardener will invent new ones.**Knee: a device for finding rocks in your garden.

The real meaning of plant catalog terminology:
"A favorite of birds"

means to avoid planting near cars, sidewalks, or clotheslines.
"Grows more beautiful each year"

means "Looks like roadkill for the foreseeable future."
"Zone 5 with protection" is a variation on the phrase "Russian roulette."
"May require support"

means your daughter's engineering degree will finally pay off.
"Moisture-loving"

plants are ideal for landscaping all your bogs and swamps.
"Carefree" refers more to the plant's attitude than to your workload.
"Vigorous" is code for "has a Napoleonic compulsion to take over the world."
"Grandma’s Favorite"

-- until she discovered free-flowering, disease-resistant hybrids.

The best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.  If it comes out of the ground easily, it’s a valuable plant.
