The Neglected Garden is my answer to landscaping. I will broadcast seed, or plant starts or bulbs of just about any species to test its survival capabilities. If it thrives on what little water I remember to give it, if it doesn't beg for fertilizer or deadheading, if it blooms and goes to seed, it is allowed to remain and flourish as it so desires. Tough as nails these delicate little flowers must be, weathering whatever Nature and the gardener hand them. One must admire that in a plant, or in a person, for that matter.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
