I may just copy you, then, since I think I just opened up some space for more plants on the windowsill--in the attic, near the south window. Very bright, and yet very cool. <em>Kim, That sounds like a perfect place - I've heard of starting seeds down cellar but never yet in the attic! And won't it be gratifying to start right away?! -kris</em> Thanks for the info on the sweet peas, Kris.

Kim, That sounds like a perfect place – I’ve heard of starting seeds down cellar but never yet in the attic! And won’t it be gratifying to start right away?! -kris

I am computer and time challenged so you may not see the 'E' on my blog but it is in my heart! <em>Not to worry! Just keep up the great work! -kris</em> Kris: How could I forget to thank you for the ‘E’! I am computer and time challenged so you may not see the ‘E’ on my blog but it is in my heart!

It is probably the farthest point from your place to mine in RI! LOL and that, for those out of towners, is a good hour ride! Love that sweet pea variety. Did it come in a mix or does it have a specific name? <em>Layanee, I'm glad your route occasionally brings you here. I know how it is - we have to pack a lunch to go these kinds of distances! (I haven't gone up your way since ... gawd ... high school!) That sweet pea is 'Nimbus' and it was my fave last year so of course I tried to order it again (from Sweet Pea Gardens) and they had had a crop failure. Boo! -kris</em> Kris:

Right back at you, because now I hope and dream about visiting Blithewold sometime in the not too distant future. I just went and added the label "public gardens" to 11 posts, and it's a tossup as to which is my favourite--the Rock Garden at my alma Mater, the Nova Scotia Agricultural College, the Botanical Gardens at my other Alma Mater, Acadia University, or Kingsbrae Garden in St. Andrews NB. I love them all....I haven't yet mastered the art of putting a link into a comment even though I can do it in a blog, so I've made a tinyurl of my public garden posts: http://tinyurl.com/yrbxvl HOpefully that works....cheers from jodi in snowing-again NS! <em>Jodi, Your link worked like a charm - thank you for creating it! And I can see why you had trouble picking a favorite. -kris</em> Hi Kris, and thank you so much for the vote of Excellence!

I'm sure I'll learn something too. The Island is quite a bit different than home and hopefully I'll eliminate some of the trial and error of the gardening I'm doing nearby. I don't consider myself unlucky not having public gardens nearby since most of my inspiration comes from the "wild' of which we have in abundance around here. <em>It's good to take your inspiration where ever and when ever it comes!
