I had a gardening mother and grandmother too. Now, I have their plants with me. I can still ask Mum questions, but her treasures are all in my garden.

You are so right - we, as gardeners, evolve too. I always wondered if my passion would be transferred onto my children as I made them work alongside me in the garden. They didn't seem to care about the plants or their names. Now, they are both in their mid-30's and take great pride in their gardens. So, they too have evolved into gardeners.

It would be a great thing to have my kids grow up and start gardening themselves!<br /><br />Karen - It's a great thing to discover gardening - we now notice so much more beauty in the world around us! I hope I evolve into that wise gardener who knows all about gardening, and I do hope my children will become interested in it too.<br /><br />Andrea - You are correct about the sedum!
