Monday Morning Brain Teasers 02 01 10

The calendar says it is the first Monday in February. But what is Monday without the brain teasers, Annie’s true or false quiz for gardeners? The answers are in the back of the book in tomorrow’s blog post, Tuesdays with Annie. The inspirational thought on this first Monday in February is by Alex Tan. “Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see Life with a clearer view again.” Perhaps we need to experience winter before we see the beauty in our spring.

The February flower is the rose.
The Daffodil appears in February and is a symbol of hope.
Soil texture is defined by the proportions of sand, silt and clay.
February can be a good time to prune your hydrangeas.
Fruit trees should be planted in the spring.

We recently received some photos from our friends, Neil & Nory Waldman. They travel the world working for Doctors without Borders. Look on the bright side – it’s always summer someplace in the world.

About Me

My Photo
My gardening influence starts with my Italian grandmother and mother. Their passion for gardening and fresh food has led me to my love for the earth. My Dad taught me my appreciation for nature and my border collies keep me grounded, staying in contact with it daily, whether I want to or not. My husband, Greg's passion for agriculture, horticulture, naturalistic landscape designs and travel have kept us busy in our time together. It's hard to work with and live with your husband but we manage to do it and still find laughter. I think it is because we love food, gardening and nature.
