December 10th, 2009

Today I promise to start no new projects. I will only finish ones that I have already started.

I also promise to repot that hideously out-of-control Philodendron erubescens. (Oops. Does that count as a new project?)

I have procrastinated doing anything about this philodendron because I never know what to do with all the plant material I end up removing. I can’t possibly pot them all up and give them away. I don’t know that many people who want a kudzu-like house plant. And I feel guilty tossing out something so alive!

*sigh* The dilemmas of a gardener.

We Have a Winner

December 10th, 2009

I swear that I used a random number generator to pick the winner of The NEW Low-Maintenance Garden book.  It’s only a coincidence that Carrie at Maywood Farm blog also happens to raise chickens.

Carrie left a comment that said:  “I need this book because my husband and I are planning our dream home and are out of debt and saving money for the first time ever! I find books like these inspiring (even just looking at the cover makes me smile!)”

Thanks to everyone who entered the drawing. Please drop by again, because I have another book that I will be giving away here in the next couple of weeks.
