Should be interesting.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16567061061375280921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-9374462665148094042008-05-05T22:18:00.000-05:002008-05-05T22:18:00.000-05:00(ObJohnDenver: Did you know he was in The Chad Mi...(ObJohnDenver: Did you know he was in The Chad Mitchell Trio, before his solo career?

I'm pretty sure I learned "The Garden Song" from listening to him playing it and singing along. But couldn't say whether he recorded it; IIRC my folks had a record of his but I don't know if I ever listened to it.The Modesto Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495938191100565263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-4734363765007263772008-05-05T20:59:00.000-05:002008-05-05T20:59:00.000-05:00DrJubal--you know, I remember seeing "Mallett" on ...DrJubal--you know, I remember seeing "Mallett" on the lyrics, but I didn't know what it referred to; I should have thought that it was probably a name and checked it. Thanks for the heads up.<BR/><BR/>Modesto Kid--I'm familiar with Tom Hunter, but I don't know if he ever recorded "Garden Song." Maybe he did though. I actually only know of this song because John Denver sang it on <I>The Muppet Show</I>, ages ago; I've never owned the album it's off of.<BR/><BR/>Glen--we're getting some perennials in, especially in the herb garden we're working on. But it's a piecemeal project. This is only the second growing season we've been in this home, so we're taking what we can get. As for the corn, thanks for the reminder; we knew that about the wind pollination, and hope that the four short parallel rows we've planted will work well.Russell Arben Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366800726360134194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-56366422804497432622008-05-05T20:06:00.000-05:002008-05-05T20:06:00.000-05:00Russell, do yourself a favor and plant some perenn...Russell, do yourself a favor and plant some perennials. We've been planting a few here and there for the last two years, and for the first time we actually have stuff coming up - it's not sparse any more, the plants have crowded out most of the weeds, and they're actually blooming! It looks like a real garden, finally.<BR/><BR/>Also, a word of warning about corn: if you've never planted it before (and I don't know whether you have or not - I know you have some farm in your background), you can't plant it in a single row. It won't pollinate, because it's strictly wind pollinated. You have to plant at least several rows. But you can do short rows. Good luck!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16567061061375280921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-75172539852559531822008-05-05T09:04:00.000-05:002008-05-05T09:04:00.000-05:00Sweet -- I never knew that was a John Denver song....Sweet -- I never knew that was a John Denver song.
