About The Gardener

Peter Kelley: St. Paul, MN, United States; I am what some might call an obsessed gardener. I do look at my plants every day, and consider changes that others might think are minor. Has the leaf grown; why was that other leaf torn; why is that flower late; will we see a flower on that hosta; which hosta spike will do better; and why is that hosta growing to slow? I attempt to have my plants photographed monthly. I have watched the snow and Ice melt off my garden; and from time to time I talk to my plants, "grow my lovelies grow". I am also not a perfect gardener - by no means. I have mistaken weeds for plants, and misplanted hosta to high or to low. I have forgotten to water from time to time, I have lost hosta to crown rot, freeze out, and being impatient for them to come up. Between all of this I also have 10 different disabilities. Gardening for me is what keeps me calm in this world of to-dos; must-dos; and the can't-dos I face. It reminds me that the rest of the world must have a point of collaboration to make every thing even out.
