Description
We prefer to look ahead rather than back, but the year 2002 has negatively been marked as the Year of the Grasshopper. There were more of them then we had ever seen in our gardening lives! We even entertained thoughts of getting a turkey to eat them, but we’ve been there and done that and we dismissed such insanity. We found that grasshoppers have preferences. Because they found some of the achilleas and campanulas so tasty, we are going to have to build up supplies again.We don’t have to look at the calendar to know when August 1 has arrived. That’s when we start thinking about how we are going to make the next year better. We hear such comments from some of you too, so we know we are not alone in this thinking. We’ve made plans on some transplanting to create better pictures and we hope to find some new plants to excite us. We hope you do too.Garden visitors sometimes ask, “Where’s the greenhouse?” Our answer is that we don’t grow plants to live indoors. We grow them to live outside in gardens. We strongly suspect that the fact that our plants spend their lives subject to Nebraska winters and summers makes them transplant more successfully than plants that live their entire lives in a greenhouse until they arrive at your door.
