Author Sharon Lovejoy tries to keep old-time garden traditions.(Originated from Knight-Ridder Newspapers)
Deep in our memories, or our parents' or grandparents' memories, lie fragments of simpler times, of pleasures with plants.
They seem quaint and faraway now. I remember spending summer afternoons as a 6-year-old making dolls from hollyhock flowers, buds and toothpicks, and orchestrating a floating dance in a wading pool.
For several years in roughly the same era, my mother and I engaged in a May Day tradition that her mother taught her.
We made woven construction paper ``posy baskets'' filled with violets and hung them from friends' front doors early in the morning on May 1. We'd ring the doorbells, scurry behind a tree or bush, then spy with delight as the surprised friends discovered our anonymous gifts and tried to figure out who had left them.
