The Obsessive Neurotic Gardener

  • About me
Posted on December 9, 2013 by jmarkowski Posted in Uncategorized .

This year I am thankful for:

Those who lead the charge for planting natives and the results of said charge:

The thrills and results from hard labor:

Realizing the benefits of drinking and gardening:

My kids still OK with being photographed together:

Still finding new ways to “attempt” to control weeds:

Blooms witnessed for the first time:

Large, sharp objects:

Bulbs that actually survive the wet winter:

New interests that evolved out of gardening:

Any efforts by my children to enjoy the outdoors with me:

The battle:

Safer power tools so I can make my children use them:

Snowy/icy conditions:

Where I live:

And finally, a huge thank you to all of you who stop by and read this nonsense. 
I am beyond grateful. 
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and safe travels. 
John

    Hey John,
    A good list of things to be thankful for, particularly the beer one (glad to see you are a real ale drinker!). Love the idea of the podcasts, don’t suppose it’s easy to link with the uk?
