I once showed my struggling purple smokebush a photo of a big healthy smokebush as inspiration (i am not kidding) and I think it worked! ;-)Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-66457945087844913132010-04-28T20:17:10.392-05:002010-04-28T20:17:10.392-05:00I absolutely talk to my plants!

I love your garden- my dream is to settle down long enough to have a well-established space. So far I've had three different gardens over three different years! Frustrating- but it keeps me on my toes!Taylorhttp://survivingmassachusetts.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-35181057454287294932010-04-28T11:10:17.068-05:002010-04-28T11:10:17.068-05:00Pam,

I won't let them grow here, except I have some white ones that don't try to take over.<br /><br />Tom,<br />I'm glad the post helped you figure out what those seedlings were. Yesterday, I found a whole bunch of smaller seedlings coming up in the veggie garden. You will most likely find more, too.<br /><br />Jodi,<br />I'm trying to remember if I've sung to my plants. I used to sing to the cows on my 2 uncles' farm in Iowa when I was a girl. I know what you mean by, "slow down". The hyacinths, crocus and most of the daffodils are finished blooming already. The weeds are loving the rain. <br /><br />Jayne,<br />I do some talking to myself out there, too. For that matter, I think aloud a lot whether I'm inside or out.<br /><br />LeSan,<br />I bet you talk to plants, too. Maybe you just don't notice yourself. Do you put slugs in the birdbath for the birds to find and eat like I do?<br /><br />If you get a chance, leave another comment to let me know if you subscribed to the follow up comments.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-21703664962120337812010-04-28T10:56:53.661-05:002010-04-28T10:56:53.661-05:00I don't know how often people subscribe to fol...I don't know how often people subscribe to follow up comments. I usually do, unless I know there will be lots, and I haven't asked a question. Sometimes I actually read them, and sometimes I only read what the original poster has come back to say. I used to drop the follow-ups after the original poster answered, but have taken to just letting them run themselves out. Then, every once in awhile, someone will find the post and leave a comment. It's kind of fun to read those.<br /><br />I have noticed, that like me, some bloggers have gotten so they don't try to keep up with writing comments back to each person who commented on a post. I like it when others do, and I used to, but I have trouble keeping up with things on and offline. <br /><br />Hey, I should be writing a post on this instead of putting it here. Anyway, since only 5 people commented here, I am going to make a comment on each comment. First, I need to take a break from my lunch to go get a book from the media center, then I'll be back to write. :o)Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-37387702665203047882010-04-26T22:49:42.788-05:002010-04-26T22:49:42.788-05:00Great shots Sue!

Oh, and yes, I do talk in the garden but not to my plants so much as to the slugs and blackberries and, it's generally not the sort of thing I want others to overhear.LeSanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07939320676822416742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-38334015533084757342010-04-26T22:33:23.889-05:002010-04-26T22:33:23.889-05:00I don't think I talk to my plants, but I *do* ...I don't think I talk to my plants, but I *do* talk to myself.

Often I'm telling them, "Grow, Dammit" but right now it's more a case of "slow down, you move too fast..." <br />:-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-16274930572493642422010-04-26T21:33:02.641-05:002010-04-26T21:33:02.641-05:00I talk to my plants too.

Today, I said to my obedient plant, "You are NOT being OBEDIENT," when I saw it had spread into the black-eyed-Susan.
