Amy Stewart writes garden rantsSomeone had to rhyme stimulus and mimulus, riiight?
She sells books and wears nice pants.
Her garden up in Humboldt County
Sadly has no winter bounty. :(
Susan Harris was not fond
Of her thirsty, ugly lawn.
She tore it out and planted thyme
(Is she happy with this rhyme?)
Michele Owens grows what she eats
On a farm upstate, where it snows and sleets
She doesn’t like big agriculture
She’s a proud, organic mulcher.
That leaves us with Elizabeth Licata
When she drinks, it ain't water...
She loves bulbs beyond all measure
Buffalo gardens are a national treasure.
Poor chuck b. is unemployed

Chuck,
You should win the seed contest - absolutely!
Sorry to hear your paychecks are null and void...but perhaps that is giving you more precious time in the garden.

I think that poem is a winner and if you don't get those seeds...
Looks like a winner to me. Now
just don't tell anyone that writing ABOUT us Ranters will win you a contest any time.
Is Acorn hiring? Hmmmm...
Enjoyed the poem and stimulus with mimulus is genius!
Chuck, you are a man of many talents! You will probably be deluged with seed packets!
how cute!
I think it's a winner!
It's a winner!
It's a winner!
It's a winner!
I loved it so much I'll send you some of my seeds! I donn't have mimulus or even know what they are but I do have dill. Parsley I can't remember.
If you want to take me up on my offer email me your info.
You have won my secret contest too. I will send you a list of what I have and you can select what you want.
I confess that I've reread your poem maybe 4 times over the last two days and it's still freaking hilarious. I hope you win some seeds!
YEA Chuck!!! Congratulations!!
OF COURSE you won! You poetic genius, you! (Lyrical Lad, Rhyming Rogue, Prose-ing Prince...I could go on all day! ;-)
A pretty poem for some seeds
Indeed, I would be remiss
To go unversed
And make my leave.
For garden seeds have traveled
From a small back forty bounty
To the large front forty country
In warm soil and wood chip compost
Will arise the summers marvels.
You are just so damn cool! I KNEW you'd win! I'm desperately trying to catch up, but I just had to get that in....be back soon! :)
