Glad you liked the episode on CTG and yes, this years winter has already claimed a number of victims. I am just glad that CTG filmed when they did! The carnival tents...what a disaster of colorful proportions! I purchased my giant timber bamboo from the Great Outdoors, I have managed to divide a clump and propagate it, though I would not recommend this, that stuff is tough! I broke two shovels and a pick axe dividing it, it would have been cheaper to buy another plant. I learned the hard way, Hope you will continue to keep reading in the patch as well. The Waltons.

Hey what about Witchy-G-TV? Got a good ring to it! You write the funniest letters! Really happy you liked the video, it was a lot of fun to do. I really need to get some more advanced editing software at some point to get the atmospheric conditions and control that I want. Oh yes I will have my sepia and scratch filter, well you know me! I have messed around with Garage Band and i Compositions for a few years, a few years ago. I want to start a track from scratch next time and write a dedicated "score" to go along with the video, although I have no idea how that will go! To answer you question...I am Nosferatu, and I am old,...very old :-) We had a lot of fun in the cold sun with the cattail wands, they are always a hit when I cut them down. My eldest is currently being read the first Harry Potter book, so you can imagine. She now insists on penciling-in Harry's scar on her forehead. I am deeply afraid this may have started a craze at her school. (Slinks into the shadows in typical Nosferatu fashion). Artemisia is quite abundant in the Patch, it remains frosty even in our hottest days of summer. I always get the same remark when we visit nurseries.."Oh not more artemisia, where are you going to put it?" I always find a spot. Thank you for your encouraging words WGTV. ESP. Hi Witchy-G.

And what are you talking about, shaky camera? It's like you have a steady-cam! The music had a total groove - you have yet again dropped my jaw because you have another talent. What ARE you? Not only do you need to be designing landscapes, playgrounds, and parks, you need to write children's books and form a band! Like Phoenix or something! Or Air! I am very enthused - I can't wait to see the videos continue ... I see a tremendous vibe emerging! You know I love your pictures, but the one of Hobbit Girl squatting with cattail snow all around her, laughing and full of joy (and rocking a serious pair of flower-pants!) tugs at my heart. Lovely, lovely... I am so NOT lucky with artemisia - weird, right? Mine is leggy even when small, and never amounts to much. I covet that luxurious mound of silver! I instruct the garden janitors on my projects to cut them back 3 times a year - it keeps them full and tight, with just enough laxity to let them explore a bit. But if mine grew at all, I 'd let them do what yours does - grow into an enormous yummy mound! You blow me away with the things you do, friend! I think 2010 is going to bring BIG things to The Patch!
