Lydee my friend in blogland AND real life posted a great idea in yesterday's comments- A Garden Journal. I so didn't want to throw those little informational tags away and was afraid I'd forget what I had going on out there- it's Brilliant.
It also coincides with my right brain desire to do some drawing- and plants don't move around much. I'm not that great at it but I love love love the way paper and lines of ink become something else. Talk about an exercise in letting go and not being perfect. I could only tolerate it for about 20 minutes- this will be a skill to practice.
I won't post these regularly- it would be a journal of a journal and that seems a little silly but here are the first two pages because I'm so excited about the idea.

That is so cool!
Really, really neat!
That is a really good idea. We have no idea what most of the stuff growing in our yard is, I wonder if it's too late to start one of these....
that is awesome, i love the drawings! it looks really good. you go girl!
p.s. i have to say, wisterias are tough little plants, i had 3 that had been run over by lawn mowers and transplanted a few times and they are happy little clams. I gave one to my MIL and it seems to be doing well.
My lemon balm is taking over it's corner of the garden. I really need to move it because it's getting huge. I love the smell though.
Have i mentioned the wvu dairy farm compost? if you go (with a pickup truck or trailer) when they're open, you can get a truckbed full of decent compost for $10. Or if you shovel it yourself (like in trash bags or whatever), it's free.
oops, or maybe it's the sheep farm, whatever. just don't dig from the piles that smell, lol!
