Robert is very insightful on this matter! Our garden diminished after our children started school...(no vegetables, just perennials)

Now the children are grown and we're planting anew~

Liz,
Nurturing a flower garden and raising a large family is asking a lot of even a gifted multi-tasker. Your gardening days are doubtless ahead. A brown thumb is the mark of a true gardener, especially a grainy indelible brown, impervious to lye soap.

I've always enjoyed other people's gardens. Alas, I have a terrible brown thumb....I kill anything green if I get too near, so I raise children instead of roses and we behold each other with varying degrees of delight, frustration, and love.

Joan,
It was my turn just two years ago.

Marlene, Jan:
Ah, a disappointed garden. A little Shakespeare is called for. Please note my suggestion to Maria, below.

Maria,
Shakespearean tragedy -- great analogy! There's a bit of Hamlet in every rose: "To be or not to be." You need to quote to your roses another line from the same play: "To thine own self be true." That should do the trick.

Thanks for finding my "bond with animals" quote. It's a favorite of mine, and no one's ever noticed it before.

Ken,
I've decided to post every Thursday morning until mid-August. For my several readers Down Under, that means late Wednesday Eastern USA time.

Lise,
I suspect that a rose beholding you would be experiencing a rare treat! But that's the point, I guess -- all living things behold each other.

Perhaps I exist that the rose may behold me?

Hi Robert
Welcome back! Great quotes.
I'm quoting you this morning if that's okay.
Aren't you back early?

Oh Garden Woes or Garden Delights...
My Swiss Chard, basil, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant and peppers, dill, lettuce ... all pretty good and some already very tasty!
B U T my roses! ahhh a Shakespearean tragedy!
Here's what they look like in the late spring:

as were the ones in the anniversary photo...
Now, they are completely defoliated only my pink roses have a little new growth.
I sprayed with organic stuff today and fertilized... here's hoping!
This quote of yours works for me:
"My roses made my photographs look professional..." ~Maria
ps. Thank you, Robert, for making these wonderful connections~
I found this one somewhere in your site:
"If we do not feel a bond with the animals who share with us this moment in eternity, we do not comprehend eternity."
... and I've thought about this all week... as I enjoy new moments with the another robin family nesting in one of our trees.

My garden is disappointed right now too -- too darn hot! My tomatoes are really suffering. Sad!

I think my garden is disappointed this summer.
