Went back to the scene again today, but the light and the plants were different. Don’t think these are as good as the last batch. But I’m still 4 hours off deadline.

Senior arrested for felonious pruning
Dallas Morning News article, Unsanctioned pruning at Oak Cliff park drew complaints, but 67-year-old’s arrest makes neighbors uneasy raises some interesting issues.
Update 4/21/2010: And speaking of raising issues: The Dandelion King in the NYTimes Opinionator blog.
More green
Sweet woodruff and Solomon’s Seal in the shade garden between Tower Rd. and The Big Red Barn. Toughest assignment yet from GGW. Still have a day, though.

Latest on late blight
Wrote a blog post last week at Cornell Horticulture, Avoid the late blight blues, about how gardeners can help prevent the heartbreak many of us felt last year. (Make sure you kill those volunteer potatoes.)
I highly recommend Meg McGrath’s late blight photo gallery if you’re not sure what late blight looks like.
And you can also listen to Amy Ivy’s podcast (the meatiest gardening podcast around) on the subject.
