The "Pledge" comparison seemed both inaccurate and poorly chosen to me too, but I thought maybe my nose was just failing to appreciate the true natural aroma of Lemon Pledge.Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374936227735741953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-63372131662754018402008-04-29T15:58:00.000-05:002008-04-29T15:58:00.000-05:00"reminiscent of Pledge"? gee, that's a great way t..."reminiscent of Pledge"? gee, that's a great way to think of nature, innit? smells just like what comes out of a spray can! don't say lemon, just say Pledge! <BR/><BR/>I planted spicebush 3 years ago and while I love the aromatic foliage, Pledge is the LAST thing I think of when I'm around it. It's much more like eucalyptus or juniper than citrus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-55438386414313635542008-04-18T15:47:00.000-05:002008-04-18T15:47:00.000-05:00Dear Marvin, My husband and I planted 13 spice bus...Dear Marvin, <BR/>My husband and I planted 13 spice bushes last autumn.

And of course I already knew what stamens and pistils are, but I'll have to start tossing around the staminate and pistillate variations of the words. I bet it'll either go over great with the ladies, or sink me like a lead balloon...AphotoAdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581940419934089601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-10225086211528335302008-04-17T14:29:00.000-05:002008-04-17T14:29:00.000-05:00How interesting!

I do like to eat them. It's strange, but many people who like to hunt them don't particularly care to eat them and then there are the people like me, but I guess there are plenty that like to do both.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment about the turkey pictures. I think it is very true that one is usually more critical of their own work as they are looking for the problem areas.<BR/><BR/>I did finally hear several gobblers this morning, but was in the wrong position to get got photos, although I did record the audio of the gobbling with the video camera and got some long range video of one strutting.Willardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059945499957721902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-52563794304967992822008-04-17T11:44:00.000-05:002008-04-17T11:44:00.000-05:00Very nice blog and great photos.Very nice blog and great photos.Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601130537200087299noreply@blogger.com
