    Would you be willing to answer a Delphinium question? The pictures you have of the one plant are almost unbelievable. My friend has a Delphinium,
    don’t know what kind, it bloomed once in a very intense blue shade. It
    has never bloomed again. This has gone on for 5 years. The green part
    is very lush but no flowers. We live in zone 5 but it gets broiling hot here.
    It is just now heating up with lots of humidity. She takes care of this plant-
    water,some fertilizer. It just looks like a very flourishing weed. Any ideas?
    I know they “decline” with age but I don’t know if that is the situation here.

    I wasn’t finished! I love your picture header on the blog. Sort of
    Van Goghish.

    I left a question about Delphiniums and then I looked at your entire site.
    I am thoroughly intimidated. Don’t people post responses to what you are
    writing? I looked several times and didn’t see any. Maybe I’m not doing it
    correctly? Hope I don’t get on your nerves with these comments. I learned
    several things-thank you! I am in Missouri,USA.

    very interesting website and glad to find one in my area – I am gardening in Hamilton, Ontario, and was concerned that all my potato plants had flopped over. I’m glad to read your comments about all this unnecessary hilling up of potatoes – I’m with you – plant them in a trench hill up once and then let nature do what she does best. I am inspecting daily for colorado beetle but crossing my fingers so far.

    Happy gardening.

    I’ve been visiting your site for nearly 2 years now and I love checking in on it daily. I really like the layout of the site and the comments on the pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words sometimes. I initially ran across your site when trying to decide between the Honda and Mantis mini-tillers. I decided on the Honda based on your experience and it’s been absolutely perfect. I love being able to carry it around the yard and it does an unbelievable job in my 30″ wide garden beds. It will till as deeply as I need and the texture it gives the soil for seeding is amazing. Best wishes for your gardens this year. I’m in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Zone 7a.
