Without invertebrates, humans will not survive. The little things that run the world need our help.

A conservation charity says that humans and other life forms could not survive without bugs.

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.

The key to nature's therapy is feeling like a tiny part of it, not a master over it. There's amazing pride in seeing a bee land on a flower you planted - but that's not your act of creation, it's your act of joining in.

Watering containers and window boxes I planted for a client while she’s away. And the view!

A spectacular day in spectacular gardens. The luckiest gardener ever.

For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value.

Great tip from MaryElyse and Gardens’ page:

“Here is my very helpful hint for today:
Snails and slugs will not crawl over sand paper because it tears up their 'bellies'. So I bought a roll of adhesive-backed sandpaper and I put it around the pots that the pests would want to get into. It sticks right to the pot, and by the end of the summer the adhesive has weakened enough that it also peels right off again. You can get it at hardwares, or online. You can find it in shorter lengths, but per foot it is less expensive to buy a whole roll. Buy the roughest you can find (50 or 80 grit is perfect). Works like a charm. Here, it is protecting a pumpkin start, and I also protect my potted basil with it.
(BTW, the sandpaper is intended to use with specific power tools. Don't let a salesperson talk you out of it because you are going to use it for a different purpose. I used to be a builder and got 'little lady' a LOT at the hardware, LOL)”
