		<description><![CDATA[One of the real dilemmas for me as a gardener is that I want to travel and visit gardens during the summer&#8212;but I also want to be home working in my own garden.  So unless work carries me to a place where I can visit gardens in my down time, I&#8217;m on an official vacation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every since I heard that my local friend Kirsti has successfully grown and harvested as many as 12 artichokes a season in her small garden, I&#8217;ve been having serious artichoke envy. For several years in my younger days I lived in California not so far from Castroville, a major hub of artichoke activity. Before I [...]]]></description>

I have planted sunflowers, but not this one. The sunflower I planted are &#8216;Titan&#8217; and they aren&#8217;t quite blooming yet. This sunflower was planted by a bird, [...]]]></description>

Because it seems as if I have less time than ever and I&#8217;m wondering what I&#8217;m doing wrong. Work has been very busy lately, which has put a cap on the amount of time I can spend in the garden. But it is [...]]]></description>

Still, the precious bit of time at the end of the work day that I can spend watering, weeding, moving plants, starting new plants, potting up containers, is never enough. I have big plans for the summer of 2010. Where will I find the [...]]]></description>

I feel badly that so many people thought I was taking aim them for having some weeds in the garden. [...]]]></description>
