You can put a gardener behind the wheel, but you can't keep her eyes off the landscape.

Gardeners in regions with very long summer days have a great opportunity, and should use more of the cool colors that literally glow in the low light of morning and evening.

Take my last best advice: Try everything twice!

I don't rely on muscle power to dig, I use a sharp spade and I wear boots.

Happiness comes from growing what thrives, not merely survives.

Take care with manufactured chemicals, certainly. Your safety and long term health are more important than anything. Yet don't forget that if you grow even a dozen different plants, you are surrounded by chemistry. Inside their cells even the most ordinary plants creates potent fungicides, insecticides, irritants, balms, hallucinogens, sedatives, nerve toxins, cell repair stimulants, lures, repellents... you name it. Treat all plants with respect!
