You have really outdone yourself...G'Day, <br /> You have really outdone yourself with this magical post W.G. I love it sooooo much.<br />If I ever find my own little patch of dirt maybe you could send me some of your magical barleycorn soil. I truly is magical there. <br />I often wondered how things grow so beautifully there in such a short growing season compared to what we have in this country then I found your comment about having nearly continuous sunlight in the summer time. I guess having enough rain helps too eh? And the fact that you obviously have a higher water table than us too. <br /> Beautiful Barleycorn, all year round in her different clothes.<br />I also loved your little bits of life philosophy woven through this post, you are a beautiful lady.linda mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17426368991644308588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436251929191150062.post-71475291999352459942009-08-08T08:05:23.417+00:002009-08-08T08:05:23.417+00:00* Good morning, dear Kathleen, and thank you for s...* Good morning, dear Kathleen, and thank you for such warm comments :)<br /><br />I agree, Nature's music is more natural in the garden. It soothes the soul and keeps the blues at bay :)<br /><br />It's poppy-mania here at Barleycorn...and, no doubt, they will appear in my next post too, I suspect :)<br /><br />I am so glad to hear your pond is thriving. I'm amazed at how quickly ours came into its own. Your hyacinths will be good at keeping the surface covered and the algae from forming. Our lilies took a few years to establish that we thought they would never flower.<br /><br />Taz is my new shadow and a delightful companion. Cookie's little heart purrs with joy each time I cuddle her. She is frail now and only comes out on the hottest of days.<br /><br />Happy gardening, Kathleen :)A wildlife gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261817184002496844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436251929191150062.post-85694694626946268682009-08-07T16:52:04.522+00:002009-08-07T16:52:04.522+00:00PS That is a most adorable photo of the baby hous...PS That is a most adorable photo of the baby house martin!Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436251929191150062.post-37817009138635520682009-08-07T16:49:54.850+00:002009-08-07T16:49:54.850+00:00You are a magician with words Wildlife Gardener. ...You are a magician with words Wildlife Gardener. Your posts always uplift me. I think I could reread them over and over and never tire of them all the while learning something new. I can't listen to music when I'm in the garden either. I always wonder about people with their Ipods on outside? Do they even realize what they're missing? You have so many beautiful poppies ~ the peony poppies have always been my favorite. So interesting how they germinated after all that time. I have seed heads now and that's it but I am letting them scatter where they will. I am having success with my little pond. The water hyacinths spread so vigorously I have already had to divide them and give them away! No lily blooms yet tho ~ yours are so beautiful. What a perfect place to sit and enjoy a glass of anything. Your garden is certainly a little corner of paradise. I'm also so happy you have a new garden companion in Taz.

Waiting patiently for the beechnuts, bumper crop this year. As you say nature has a calming effect on most people.

It would take too long here... :)<br /><br />* I am so happy you accepted my invitation to come to the garden, Nature Girl.

I send you get well wishes across the miles :)<br /><br />* I understand perfectly about the lack of time, Miranda, as I only manage to post once a month.

I love poppies, all sorts - only trouble is, the big gap the Oriental poppies leave when they finish flowering.<br /><br />I'd love some advice please, about my new flower bed which will be dug this winter - it'll be about 40 foot long and 3 foot deep at one end to 8 foot at the other, and I want to plant flowers to attract butterflies and honey bees. I've been growing only vegetables and shrubs for years. The soil is sandy and it will face west with a southerly aspect too and this is a dry part of the country, and it'll be protected to the east by a 5 foot wall. Any suggestions?Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436251929191150062.post-83527745556831073452009-08-01T15:10:29.555+00:002009-08-01T15:10:29.555+00:00You were LOST, but now are FOUND!!
