		<description><![CDATA[Today, the little one and I swung by our local garden center. It&#8217;s one of our favorite things to do. She&#8217;s crazy about plants and so am I. As we walk through the parking lot, I can feel her little body tense with excitement in my arms. She recognizes the buildings, the colors, the trellises, [...]]]></description>

Do I have room for another hosta in this bed? Should I weed or pour myself a glass of wine and call it a day? &#160; &#160; This week, it&#8217;s been this bed. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh, hi. I&#8217;ve been busy gardening, and now the big spring push is done. I&#8217;ve re-planted a couple beds, cleared another of lily-of-the-valley and got the vegetables in. I absolutely love this time of year. Not much has gone wrong&#8211;there&#8217;s been no time, really&#8211;and all the plants are small and perfect, with even more perfect [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember those artificial poppies that veterans used to sell for Memorial Day? I loved those. The delicate feel of the red crepe paper, the crinkled round petals and dark centers that I still adore. When I was a kid it seemed those poppies were everywhere this time of year. My mom would always let me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I usually find gardening meditative.  Pulling weeds, digging my hands into the dirt &#8211; all these things calm me and help me focus on things other than the stresses of life.  But the work required to tame the jungle that is our new garden has been anything but soothing. Whenever there is a clear evening [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am over the moon about the new “Green Arrow” shelling peas I ordered from Seed Savers for this season. I’ve never grown peas before, nor have I shelled them, so this counts as a garden experiment for me. Of course, peas need to climb. So I tasked my husband with building a trellis system [...]]]></description>

This plant has popped up in 4 places in the garden.  A neighbor told me it was a weed, but its location and shrubby growing pattern have caused me to hesitate to yank it. Any ideas?  Or [...]]]></description>
