I can garden, after a fashion
Arboretum activists Peggy Rahn and Peggy Stewart -- they have done so much else for the community for so many decades I know, but for the purpose of this, they are Arb types -- asked me over to the county green place in Arcadia Sunday to participate in the I Can Garden part of the upcoming LA Garden Show.
You take non-gardeners such as myself, give them a galvanized metal can filled with good soil, and tell them to have at it. I used a cactus, some succulents, a piece of copper piping, some beautiful shards of tile and some wine corks in the above creation.
It's not that I am a total non-gardener. I keep alive the extraordinary Meyer lemon tree in our yard with a little bit of deep watering and fertilizer, and do plant tomatoes each spring, and force paperwhites in cigar boxes as Christmas gifts. Oh, and nine rose bushes are under my care. But that's about it. It was fun to be presented with a blank canvas of compost and have to fill it, in my minimalist fashion. The LA Garden Show is upcoming May 2-4 at the Arboretum.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
