Welcome the Renegade Gardener!

My sweetie just showed me this man’s site, and I’m lovin’ it!

I particularly like his 10 Rules:

  1. Gardening should be challenging, relaxing, and fun.
  2. Renegade Gardeners are cautious and wise when perusing the plethora of products and plants sold by the commercial gardening industry.
  3. Gardening involves commitment.
  4. Renegade Gardeners learn the Latin names of the plants they grow.
  5. Gardening is not always easy.
  6. Renegade Gardeners come to realize that lawns are essentially a dumb idea.
  7. Gardening and rock music do not mix.
  8. Renegade Gardeners buy first from local growers.
  9. There is nothing wrong with cutting down a tree on your property.
  10. Irreverence is essential.

Lemme tell ya–Zone 4a gardening can be a bitch, especially when that damned doe eats your rose buds and growth tips on your new apple trees.
