YES!Not only are the transformations lovely but anything to help humans re-connect (or to connect)with Mother Nature can't help but improve their outlook. Seems to me that the farther away people get from SOIL, the farther away they are from REALITY.weeder1https://www.blogger.com/profile/13664668542203907470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257345.post-80565576585722766422008-01-29T16:28:00.000-08:002008-01-29T16:28:00.000-08:00When we lived in Oakland, I planted what's called ...When we lived in Oakland, I planted what's called the sidewalk strip (we called it the verge). It's a fair amount of work, as the soil is usually really bad--in the beginning ours required an ax to break through the compacted adobe. And I lived across the street from a junior high school, so the plants had to be fairly hardy, as young persons love to pick the flowers and don't mind taking half the plant in the process.<BR/><BR/>Here, though, I'd be nervous about planting a verge that had an established tree, just because disturbing the (tree whether by digging or additional watering) might stress it. And the tree is worth more than any planting I might do.PeonInChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17611581585285022906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257345.post-10476398687406822762008-01-29T14:20:00.000-08:002008-01-29T14:20:00.000-08:00Incredible transformation going on in those pics. ...Incredible transformation going on in those pics.
