joene's garden: joene's garden

A new gardener?

Avery about 5 hours old 7-9-09 Our family has happily grown.  Our first grandchild joined us yesterday – here she is about 5 hours old.

This proud grandma already has visions of gardening side-by-side with her granddaughter – when she gets bigger of course.  Hmmm … I wonder just how small in size gardening gloves come.

Joene (or shall I start calling you grandma !),

Congratulations, she looks beautiful and so peaceful. What a lucky girl to have been born into such a loving environment. One day she'll look back with fond memories on her time spent gardening with her grandmother.

Enjoy.

Congratulations! Look at that precious rosebud mouth. I have lovely memories of my grandmother's extensive flower garden and wandering through it as a child. And of time spent with my grandfather in our garden. She's a lucky girl.

I also have memories of gardening with grandparents, on both sides of my family. Only time will tell whether the gardening gene has passed to another generation.

  • Misjudged collaboration causes an NWF GOOPs:
    • joenesgarden: Jean, I'm glad I could bring you updated news regarding NWF's GOOPs. I agree that the NWF has some credibility rebuilding to accomplish.
    • Jean: Joene, I had seen all the posts about the Scott's-NWF "partnership" but had missed the turnaround news; thanks for bringing me up to date. In these times when ordinary people often feel powerless, it's good to know that popular outrage made a real difference. (I think it's going to take more, though, for NWF to...
    • joenesgarden: Debbie, NWF's GOOPs certainly seemed to be an eye opener for many NWF collaborators. Only time will tell whether NWF's reputation is sullied.
    • Debbie/GardenofPossibilities: Joene, What a good example of a major GOOPs. As Laurrie noted, it's unbelievable that NWF never mentioned the groundswell of outrage as a factor in the decision to end the partnership. I guess regadless of how/why it happened, most people are pleased it's over. BTW, thanks for the shout-out.
    • joenesgarden: Laurrie, The NWF's GOOPs may direct more followers to local wildlife-protecting and environmental organizations. This would be a good thing.
    • Laurrie: Talk about a gardening oops, this was a monster one. Absolute debacle. It's interesting that when they rescinded the partnership they blamed it on the lawsuits and gave no credit to the groundswell of public outrage. Never mentioned that at all. Unbelievable. My OOPS is on my blog today and...
  • Connecticut’s new planting zones:
    • joenesgarden: Jean, I think all seasoned gardeners understand zone map recommendations are no substitute for knowing your property, as your experience with temperature extremes in your Maine garden illustrates. I'm honored you named me as one of your Versatile Bloggers. I would participate if not for the sharing rules ... thanks anyway. I hope...
    • Jean: Joene, I was just looking at the new hardiness zones for Maine, and it brought home your point about knowing your own garden conditions. On the new map, my town has been moved from the boundary of zones 4b and 5a firmly into 5b. But the low temperature for zone 5b is -15F, and I...
