“Ambient temperature and sunlight, those are the only elements that big ball of gas in the sky can influence in plant selection, right? Nope!
Soil temperature is a critical component of successful growing, but is far from a dealbreaker.”
― A Pandemic Gardening Journal
Soil temperature is a critical component of successful growing, but is far from a dealbreaker.”
― A Pandemic Gardening Journal
“I rebuke societies that impart to their flowers their cold and rigid demeanour. Flowers should not stand with the stiffness of a soldier on parade but must carry themselves with the relaxedness of a dancer, their arms outstretched above a shaggy mane. Life reveals few sights as distressing as the look of flowers standing mournfully at attention unstirred by the kisses of a million bees. This infection of uncomely reserve is the handiwork of sombre gardeners bred in sombre societies who will not consider their work done till their flowers exude in aspect that stiffness they esteem. They forget that God intended that we mingle with flowers and not merely admire them from afar. But there is a look in a fastidiously manicured garden that makes me keep my distance, a look that draws my eyes but scorns my touch, and that is why I condemn them.”
