Thank goodness I finally discovered it! <em>Kira, Thank goodness is right! It sounds like you have found your calling. And take it from me - even as you gain experience, the fun of it is, you'll keep being surprised. -kris</em> Probably because I’m new at this, nearly everything has been a surprise this season! :) The fact that my blue lake pole beans wanted to grow much taller than any support I could offer them; that my rather dead-looking buddleia is now amazingly covered in beautiful flowers; that the zinnias I started from seed light up my whole garden with their fun and happy colors – and perhaps the biggest surprise of all – that I can’t believe I went 37 years without gardening.
