very funny blog! Here in Buffalo, NY - found your blog through balcony-garden. I'm hosting a "Share a Garden Sunday" through my blog, Color Outside the Lines and I really hope you can play along. I would love to see more of your gardens, or gardens you live near you'd love to share. It'd be fun - and it'd be great if you could participate. Off to read more of your blog ... Artie
From one Billy to another..howdy.
If only I had come across your stuff back in 2006 when i spoke at the SB botanic gardens!
Cheers
