You asked, "what's growing old in my garden?"--why, that would be me. And that's a treat, too. Cheerio! <em>That's a perfect topic for another post. - I'm still waiting for a little wiser to add to my getting older...

That’s a perfect topic for another post. – I’m still waiting for a little wiser to add to my getting older… Your grandkitty Audrey says a big jjjjjjjjjjjjkkuiuuuuuuu! -kris

You made me laugh with your line about what is growing old in your garden. In Maine it's beyond gray hairs - more like bald. I posted colorful leaves in NY instead. The talk sounded very inspirational. <em>Sarah, After a weekend of wind, RI has a bald pate now too! It's good you caught NYC leaves when you did - they'll be bald too before too long... -kris</em> Ha! You made me laugh with your line about what is growing old in your garden.

I think I could do that from here, but if she were my boss... okay, I'd be more than a little intimidated. :) By the way, I need to get some of that cuphea for next year. Do you guys grow that from seed? Lovely! <em>Kim, That cuphea is one of my faves too but it's a pretty late bloomer - as a matter of fact, the first year we grew it, it didn't bloom until we brought it in for the winter. I can't remember where we found it (possibly <a href="http://www.avantgardensne.com/catalog/category.cgi" rel="nofollow">Avant Gardens</a> though I don't see it in their catalog now) but we've grown it from cuttings, not seed. -kris </em> Great post, Kris… and I had to laugh at the whole “question authority, even if it’s Martha Stewart” part of that talk!

I would love to have heard it. Margaret, why don't you come to Austin and give your talk? We don't stop gardening here all winter, and you'd meet a lot of garden bloggers. :-) <em>Pam, I wish you could have been here! -kris</em> Kris, your description of Margaret’s talk is wonderful.
