The older I get, the more people there are to remember. 🌿
Every year I plant rosemary—the herb for remembrance.
Somewhere along the way, I realized I was remembering more people per plant.
That thought became today's episode of The Daily Gardener:

For 45 years, he was head gardener at his church. He hybridized daylilies & peonies.
He drove an old gray truck w/ a license plate that read:
MR DAYLILY.

January is named for Janus, the Roman god of thresholds.
He looks backward & forward at once.
It’s fitting that January’s birth flower is the snowdrop.
It blooms while winter still holds firm.
Not with abundance, but courage.
The gardening year doesn’t begin with fullness.
It begins with faith.
He looks backward & forward at once.

Chickweed Geometer, but make it fashion! 💄
This moth struts garden runways with hot pink “lipstick” stripes, and its caterpillars love actual chickweed.
Iconic snacker, iconic style.
Who wore it best—moth or garden? 🌸🦋

Is there a wildflower more evocative of long summer days than the beautiful Harebell?! Campanula rotundifolia is of course also known as the Scottish Bluebell. The challenge this week is to see if you can find one for #Wildflowerhour! Share your pics this Sunday 8-9pm! 💙

How is this not a traveling exhibit throughout the schools and churches of Ireland?
Or, how about a pub crawl? So many pubs....
Surely each destination could host ol' Woolie for a week or two.
Lean in on the woollen map!
🍻Raise a pint if you agree!🍻

Someone needs to do a Google Maps, but for the past. For example, typing in "London to York" but you can select a period e.g. 1450s, and it would give you the likeliest route. That'd be great.
