I hope I can get back into more active writing, as I get back into more active gardening again, but due to some sudden serious health issues in the family, and the fact that I started yet another business (more to come on that!) I have been swamped. Not to mention the end of the home-school year, and a son graduating from high school! I am happy to announce he will be entering Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. in the fall. He gets most of the credit, since he really developed wonderful discipline and had a goal for an "Ivy League"-quality education, but I like to think I can take some credit for setting him on the right path and giving him good fundamentals! It's been an adventure, homeschooling six children all these years, but my children are very well educated, mature, and kind. And that was my goal. Two down, four more to go!
Yes, it seems to happen every year, that just as the "Last Frost Date" arrives, so does the endless rain! Most of our gardens are rather soggy, so at least two days must pass after a good rain before I can plant. Alas, in the last couple weeks, we have not had such a break from rain. It has given my back some time to heal without my feeling guilty, however, so I can be glad for that! But this picture was just so sweet I had to snap it. The sun came out between showers, and the raindrops covering the Lady's Mantle just shimmered!

AuthorWelcome to Growing Goodness! This website is dedicated to growing good things, both plants and children. It's a gardening blog with maternal overtones, as I discuss the goodness and value of plants, both wild and domestic. In the process I hope to help you pass a love of nature on to your children. Happy Gardening! Archives
