The Musical Gardener

You have chanced across the blog of a middle-aged Ontarian who discusses (with very little actual knowledge or authority) such topics as gardening, music, supply teaching, genealogy, and cooking. Said chap is husband to lovely, talented, supportive lady (The Missus), father to two lovely,and talented teenage daughters, master/slave to three demanding and very non-talented cats. To quote the song Mr. Cellophane from the musical, Chicago "I hope I didn't take up too much of your time!"

Even More Asiatics - Late Season

Okay this is the last I will pester you with Asiatics for this year. They have been an impressive show, and thank goodness for all the efforts in combating lily beetles and their loathsome little larvae.

I'm feeling the urge to move a few of these again - they are probably starting to suffer motion sickness, the amount of times they traveled in the past three years. But it just seems the newest 'perfect' bed, is basically perfectly awful, wet and cold, and the plants there basically just sat and sulked this year - a few miserable, half hearted blooms. Oh yes, and it seemed to be lily beetle heaven as well.
