Missing Henry Mitchell as I do, I thought to write about gardening.  I am happy to hear from others what works and what does not plantwise.  I have been gardening in Maryland earnestly since about 1989.  Effectively?  Just about last year.  And then again, not on all days.  There is the dog, you know. And children. And teaching. Such diversions from my madness:  flowers.

Tucked inside Mitchell's three garden books are slips of paper where I note his suggestions for cultivars or varieties that work well in his Washington, DC plot.  Since we shared a climate zone, indeed living within 12 miles of each other, his plants could also live in my plot.  I hope to sprinkle this blog with specific details that will help other mid Atlantic gardeners.
