Condolences on the passing of Lucky. We also had a Lucky who passed 8 years ago and we still miss him. Although we do enjoy the company of our two rescue dogs, Toby–golden samoyd mix, and Wiley–border collie, aussie mix and???- so pretty and mixed that even the vet is confused.

Live in Michigan in zone 5–but I think it is more 4.5—sandy soil, dry, windy, and I do my best to garden in this gardeners mightmare….but I do love to play in the dirt (soil!)

Check out Life on the Balcony on Facebook. The apartment dweller devised a vertical planting, using wooden pallets. A neat idea and not too hard.

Meerah, I saw something neat for vertical gardening at a nursery two weeks ago. They had a wall covered in these brown wool pockets that were filled with soil and the pockets had plants growing out of them. The pockets were each about 12×16 inches and had grommets at the top so they could be hung up on a wall. Some of them had 3 pockets attatched vertically for a cascade of plants. The saleslady said they could be washed and reused. I’m going to try sewing some of my own.

After working with abused children all day and many years I needed to reposses my soul. The answer on a 5by 9 ft balcony- Vertical Gardening. Your show provides me with delight. Can you do anything discussing vertical gardening?

I have been an avid viewer of your show ever since it began airing on my local PBS station. This past July, my sister and I toured your home and gardens. From the moment I spotted your gate houses I was elated. I had watched them being built. The aspects of your home and gardens have become like characters in a story to me. I knew them long before I “met” them. Each aspect of Moss Mountain Farm merges to create an environment that is comfortable and yet inspiringly beautiful. You have planted many seeds in the fertile soil of your readers and viewers. And, we are blooming everywhere!…Thank you!

These are what I like to call the “red thumb tacks on the map of life” that mark those stops along the way that make an impressionable impact on who we are and where we are going. God knows who we need and when we need them, and the special connection we will have with them in the future.
