me and the cabbage

apparently, 2007 is the year of the viola.

Cool Season Blooming Beauties for the Flower Garden
The National Gardening Bureau picked violas as their flower of the year for 2007. Violas and pansies are such relied upon stalwarts that many gardeners take them for granted and think they know everything there is to know about them. True, violas are easy care plants. But in the gardening world, nothing stands still. Newer varieties of violas are being introduced with bolder colors and larger flowers that bloom longer. Even better, they exhibit better heat and cold tolerance than the remarkably hardy varieties where familiar with.

however, it too is the year of the cabbage. the same gardening society has picked cabbage and kale as the plants for 2007.

hihi. what fun.

i love cabbage and corned beef soup.
