Call me BB

I don't mind the chipmunks up here, it's the diabolical bunnies that wreak havoc on my shrubs. My daughter is at University of Missouri in Columbia, and her wildlife consists of feral kitties and woodchucks (apparently also called "whistling pigs") living under her deck.
Thanks for friending me, even though it makes me all nostalgic for my zone 6 garden.

Hi Susan - Thanks for your comment. My profile picture is from one of my favorite artists/poets, Brian Andreas who does a series called "Story People". (I wonder if I need permission to use this?) Anyways, I have always found his art insightful and an expression of my own inner thoughts and feelings.
As to my thoughts on "plant whispering"... I personally have experienced what I perceive to be plants emanating their ability to communicate with us humans. Whether it's their response to music, kind or harsh words, (especially when I've threatened a particular plant for misbehaving! LOL), and their ability to communicate their healing attributes - I find that if one is very conscious of the plant world around them, you can't help but feel the relationship we can have and our ability to inter-relate with plants on not only a physical level, but also emotional and spiritual levels as well. Therefore, I thought this would be a fun place to hear about other peoples experiences and observations on any level of "plant whispering".

Appreciate your comments. We have had great weather this summer so my gardens did well. I love the colors of fall but it is sad to start removing the spent flowers of summer.

Thanks for the comment. We quite often keep a vase of cut flowers on our kitchen table, but it's mostly just to keep my old "farmer" blood happy. There's nothing like digging in the dirt.

Yes, the plants in my garden are all my children, I water them, feed them, check on the daily, worry if they are not growing, receiving enough water, and keeping them fit and trim. I am now also into birds and wanting chickens. I see Brenna is your friend and amongst other things, she is the chick expert!!

Thank you so much! Can't wait to see what goes on here...

Just got the name of the program that he used ..Thumbs Plus.

Hey Susan, thanks for befriending! I enjoy doing the challenges, and seeing everyones picture. Can't wait for your purple =-)
