Oh I know about keeping dead plants around, there’s a whole movement in St. Louis about not cleaning up your garden and the winter because it provides habitat for critters. My Eco warrior friend who’s all about pollinators and Asclepius and no Roundup practically fainted in horror at the thought of all those weed seeds spreading throughout a garden in the No,Cleanup mode.

I always have a giggle when the philosophies clash within echo warrior world. I am mean that way!


That is too bad about your garden bench! At this very moment I am judging a virtual flower show where we have 32 decorated garden benches to evaluate. When I’m done with it later today I’ll post a couple of them. One of them is a beautiful old lichen covered garden seat, really cool!
