The Compleat Gardener

Such a lovely scene greeted me this morning as I set out that I thought I’d share with readers – my neighbors had a special visitor. Gardening has always been a mystery to me – Do Gardeners have their own Way of being, akin to the classic “The Compleat Angler” (Izaak Walton)? Part One of that tale: Being a Discourse on Rivers, Fishponds, Fish and Fishing”…. Let’s take a look:

To the Reader of this Discourse, but especially the Honest Angler…I think fit to tell thee these following truths, that I did neither undertake, nor write, nor publish, and much less own, this Discourse to please myself; and having been too easily drawn to do all to please others, as I proposed not the gaining of credit by this undertaking, so I would not willingly lose any part of that to which I had a just title before I began it, and do therefore desire and hope, if I deserve not commendations, yet I may obtain pardon.”

    I hope that the owners of that truck just happen to be visiting and aren’t there to change that spectacular garden into someone’s idea of what “landscaping” should be.
    Looks perfect to me as it is.

    isbjorn1 – not to worry. No landscapers here!
    Just gardeners and other ramblers.
