The Telegraph: News in Gardens

With Google's keyword search certain people/topics slip into my mailbox, without effort.  Today, Gertrude Jekyll, in The Telegraph, arrived with more good links you'll want to read.  Save for later if you're busy, you'll like all of them.  Apples, politicians, boxwood health, bulbs inside for winter.
.

These aren't projects, below, they're easy, fun, pretty.  Projects?  Not for me.

Think gardening is not political?  California jurisdictions are considering making water a commodity.  What does this mean for you?  Have a pond on your property, and it's a government commodity, you cannot use the water without permission.  For starters.  More lightheartedly, politics & gardening, below.
