I must read this again, Erica, because there was more to savor than I can allow time for this morning. I let out a "NO!" on reading about the pillaging of your gardens. I remember your approach to invasives and want to sit with that a bit longer. I see the lovely spiderwort (Tradescantia) and think of Virgin Earth by Philippa Gregory. Have you already read it. I feel as though it might pair well with The Life of Plants (thank you for recommending) and the notion of how the plants we know came to be here, or there, or wherever they've landed. Spring! The native geranium I brought home from your place in a tiny paper cup, just a little sprig or two all those years ago, is looking lush and ready for another season. Thank you!
this is terrific… I’ve been out preparing the greenhouse for a new cover, and various other plant related activities… so much happens in spring… you are a few weeks ahead of us…

I likes it; especially the comments on the invasive plants and the virtual.
