No problem, Sue! I liked all the responses. Everyone has such great reasons to garden!

I need to apologize for being so scatterbrained. I thought the list was in order of the winners, so now I have to go back to the others I congratulated and explain what I was thinking. I had not read the part where he drew numbers.

Well, I liked your post, anyway.

Philip,
Isn’t it?! (the Shaw, I mean!) Everyone I know has heard it from me at least once. The quest for that which is distilled to perfection: perfect length, perfect proportions…it’s the essence of art. (And thanks for the kind words on my little statement. I think however that the topic deserves a much longer treatment from all of us.)

I like that you wrote “my garden takes care of me”…

I feel the same.

Thanks for the info on Blotanical, too.

Helen,
Thanks for stopping by!
It will be interesting to see all the comments gathered together in one place. There will be similar threads going through them, I’m sure, but there are already emerging interesting and subtle differences in the reasons I’ve read that will make me rethink my own relationship to the garden.

I can really empathises with the sentiment in this post. It is what I was trying to say in mine.
