Garden Ideas and Garden Opinion From Doug

Welcome to my personal garden blog. This is where I add pics, comments and generally rant..  It's designed to be whatever strikes my fancy and I find interesting and/or amusing in the garden.  


If you share my interests in gardening - you can sign up for updates in the top right hand box (they'll come in your email) and you can read or delete them as it strikes your fancy or interest.


I have to tell you I'm having way too much fun doing all this writing and gardening on the Net - it's a great way to talk directly to readers. (yes, you can make comments on all of my posts). :-)

 Reginald Farrer, the great plant explorer and alpine gardener began his 1918 classic, The English Rock Garden with these words, "Proclamations of purpose are often confessions of failure to achieve it."   Farrer had a way with words and was never faint of heart when expressing an opinion.
