All the Dirt on Gardening

Today's photos are all weeds. I know. But, I love these weeds. The tiny blue flowers that appear in the back yard in the spring, the huge Dock that grows under a tree back by the compost bin and the Zebrina or Friendship Mallow - all are considered weeds by horticulturists. Good thing the rest of us are just gardeners. In our garden - The cucumbers are having a wonderful time in the heat - we are bringing in 6 a day now. No red tomatoes or ripe blackberries yet but still lots of spring veggies. And, the flowers. No end to the daily joy from them. On the Net - There are two interesting websites I discovered today. One is called Discover Life . Sounds religious but it isn't. The sponsors include: Missouri Botanical Garden, Sun Microsystems , Topozone , Maps a la Carte , University of Georgia, Smithsonian Tropical Research, USGS , etc. On the home page there are links to All Living Things, Tree of Life, etc. All Living Things is a complete show and tell about all living things...
