God, Steve Bender's hilarious. How have I never heard of him before? Heck, I'm never going to think of squirrel the same way ever again thanks to his adage that if it ain't tender, use the blender!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16233060833186241702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793140192173953553.post-67509166188360401592009-04-28T13:49:00.000-05:002009-04-28T13:49:00.000-05:00Looks like it's the commenters who are interruptin...Looks like it's the commenters who are interrupting <I>Vertie's</I> blog now! <br /><br />Pam, your post on 6 essential plants led me to Steve's site and you know I like to click around.

I would have thought longer, but in 1983 I was two years away from graduating from high school, and geek that I was, I faithfully read SL then and through my early thirties, until life got too busy and I let most of my magazine subs lapse.Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793140192173953553.post-25127730995007955182009-04-27T11:02:00.000-05:002009-04-27T11:02:00.000-05:00Knowing how to find the answer is as useful as kno...Knowing how to find the answer is as useful as knowing it yourself, Vertie - and bet your mom would like that part.<br /><br />Fireblight sounds dreadful and what fun to have Steve Bender on twitter.<br />(note to Pam/Digging - in the <A HREF="http://grumpygardener.southernliving.com/grumpy_gardener/editors-bio.html" REL="nofollow"> biography on Steve Bender's blog</A>, it says he's been with Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793140192173953553.post-22240362817141614692009-04-25T22:43:00.000-05:002009-04-25T22:43:00.000-05:00I know just what you mean, Vertie.

Egad, what was I doing all that time while he was making a name for himself at a national magazine? ;-)Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793140192173953553.post-81352182211740451092009-04-25T21:31:00.000-05:002009-04-25T21:31:00.000-05:00My husband has often thought I should have named m...My husband has often thought I should have named my blog the grumpy gardener but I knew someone else had the name. I just didn't realize it was Steve Bender until just now. Wow! I love Steve Bender. "Passalong Plants" was one of the first garden books I ever bought.
