Unburied Treasures


The onion bulb above was buried beneath an aggressive aromatic Italian sage plant that made me hungry while I pruned it for 45 minutes while the bridal virginal geranium below finally bloomed after so many years of hibernation that I forgot what color it was.

The best advice I ever received about working in landscaping was from my former supervisor in Hawaii. Thank you Barcus for teaching me to take care of my tools because I have been re-taming my secret garden. A well cared for and much loved garden spade comes in handy when digging out an uncountable number of cone flowers and walnut trees.
