The Lambs Quarter Garden

Why Lambs Quarter? I started thinking about what to call this place and what to call my garden and I looked up botanical names and famous gardens for inspiration. I thought maybe something magical or witchy, but, that seemed to "in ya face" for me. Everyone knows what I am and all gardens are magical, aren't they? I don't want to wax philosophical on all that now, but, when I do, this will be a good place for it. Plants and magic seem to go together.

Cardinal Newman said : "By a garden is meant mystically a place of spiritual repose, stillness, peace, refreshment, delight." Yes, but, it can also be a place of backbreaking labor, frustration and heat stroke. One must accept a garden for what it is as well as what one wants it to be. I must have at least a quarter acre, I'd guess much more, and there are lots of the weed Lambs Quarter. I guess they're a weed, since everyone tries to kill them and no one plants them...but, you can eat them and they're pretty. A weed is defined as a plant growing in an undesired location. Maybe I am in an undesired location. Maybe I am the weed. Well, this is some deep bullshit, isn't it? Anyway, I like Lambs Quarter, it's pretty when it's small and the underside is white/silver and it's slightly fuzzy and it doesn't hurt anyone. And you will never get rid of it all so you might as well enjoy it. I'm going to cook some up with butter and salt and pepper and eat it. That's my weed control for today.

And I know I could have chosen a pretty name, but, it is not my intention to show only pretty here. This is a journey. I'm fairly sure there will be some cussing later.

I don't like this posting, I have to figure it out. Why is it always different when it's blogger? Stupid thing.

what is it that you don't like, I have the comments like this on my bog, and he only thing that bugs me about it is that people's avatars don't show up. Oh well, I don't have it set up like the way you do on your other site because I don't like the colors on the comment page, but I'm just weird and picky. Good luck on making things the way you would like.

I started a blog on wordpress a while ago hoping to talk about my life and my sewing and crafting, but I get lazy about it. I started a blog on wordpress last week just to check it out. Now I'm not sure which one I want to stick with, there are pros and cons with each format, so I sort of understand what your going through. I think seeing you being creative on this blog will inspire to to get my butt in gear, so stay tuned : )

I think the name is nice, and it seems dainty and girlish to me. Lambs Quarter evokes the image of baby sheep or... lambs! Nice.

Because Michael Kors handbags are my absolute fave, I am thrilled to say that Michael Kors has not to this point sold into this style.
