Lest you think I’m taking the blog in a racier direction, I should tell you I’m just quoting gardener-extraordinaire, Pat Welsh. Pat is an icon in the gardening world, and I have had the privilege to hear her speak a few times. I always learn a ton because she is full of practical, no-nonsense information. This YouTube video of her creation of a children’s dinosaur garden probably sounds like something that won’t interest a lot of readers, but if you take a pass at watching, you’re going to miss some good ‘dirt’ because she interjects a lot of interesting tidbits, she’s very entertaining, and she’s also cute as a button! Plus you’ll be able to put the blog post title into context. 
Pat Welsh’s books are great, too. Her latest book, ‘Southern California Organic Gardening,’ was immediately added to my collection of her books this past spring. ‘Southern California Gardening’ has been one of my go-to books for years. The ‘Smart Garden Regional Guide’ came out a few years ago and I use it for reference constantly, as well. ‘All My Edens’, a memoir by Ms Welsh, is harder to find, but I love reading her observations and stories of her gardening life. It’s a little treasure on my book shelf.
