It's cool you are able to volunteer there, and work with people you can learn things from. I have friends who volunteer at several gardens in town. Maybe I'll do that sometime. I did help plant annuals at a local garden, and before kids, helped at an herb garden in a park.

That was interesting about the rodents, but it's too bad that happens.

You got me thinking about bamboo flowers. I googled to check out the flower. I realised that I have seen them in real from the road at those hilly remote places before.

I hope your fresh garlic bulb will give you another big harvest.

Hi Wendy~~ I've missed visiting you.

You're such a giving person. I can't say I'd be smiling after three hours in 95 degree heat. Big time kudos to you.

I had heard that bamboo will die after flowering but I didn't know that about the invading rodents. Good thing it doesn't bloom very often.

Sorry about your garlic. Too cold, this winter, maybe?

I had heard about the bamboo and the rodent story - saw that documentary on the Discovery channel. Its quite scary though to note huge giant rats run amok
hungrily to devour everything.

Wondered what happened to all the snakes, eagles and owls - wondered if they had enough prey to keep these under control.

It's great that you volunteer to do this. I've never had fresh garlic before. Any different properties or taste. I'd love to hear what you do with it and if you can taste any difference.

And thanks for the morning virtual smell...rosemary and sautéing garlic. Nice at any hour.
