But it's something you can just do and let your mind wander...which is so relaxing.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>PerennialGardener--Deadheading is a stress buster---not sure about weeding, but maybe because it's so hot here. My favorite weed to pull is nut grass. Love the way it comes up!<BR/>Thanks for the compliment on the blog!Meadowview Thymeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16867494627331444375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-44988553150885789652008-07-22T16:03:00.000-07:002008-07-22T16:03:00.000-07:00NorthernShade--I will go out and sit in the swing ...NorthernShade--I will go out and sit in the swing and think I am going to relax, then start to look around and off I go to deadhead. But you are right, I like to do it too. It IS a form of relaxation. Have you ever gone on a garden tour and almost pinched back a flower? : )Meadowview Thymeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16867494627331444375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-53899359823881582232008-07-22T16:01:00.000-07:002008-07-22T16:01:00.000-07:00Tina, yes I know Tyler!

It does stimulate them to make more blooms instead of using that energy to make seed. Plus I find it very de-stressing. Weeding is another stress reliever for me too. Great post Linda. Gives me something to think about! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-50761019699981823532008-07-22T12:07:00.000-07:002008-07-22T12:07:00.000-07:00I am working on deadheading too.

Usually you don't have to bother getting any tools out, so I often deadhead while just puttering aimlessly around, pinching with my fingernail. <BR/>My favourite to deadhead are the Campanula. They come off so easily, nice and clean, pinch, pinch, pinch. Sometimes, if I only have a few minutes, I head over to the bellflowers for a little fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-11093331068119547952008-07-22T08:49:00.000-07:002008-07-22T08:49:00.000-07:00That is very interesting, especially about the con...That is very interesting, especially about the coneflowers, I have been deadheading mine but now I will leave them alone. And, if I'd ever known what Mother said about petunias, I'd forgotten. No wonder hers look so pretty and mine rarely do!

Interesting post about deadheading.<BR/>I'm just south of Tyler so you aren't too far away! There are lots of stitching blogs out there (most of which contain more actual stitching than mine does!) but I like reading a mixture of things.<BR/>So glad you stopped by!TinaTxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11373224016715969220noreply@blogger.com
