Tribute to an allotment and a loving father is “Save the Last Dance for Me” by English writer Dallas Dyson at http://crazytraintotinkytown.com/. I connected with Dallas when I first published Late Bloomer Show as a blog in 2012, and though many of my first WordPress followers disappeared when I converted my blog to a full-service website, Dallas has remained steadfast, reading, reposting, tweeting. Her posts always make me think, laugh and sometimes shed a tear. This one did.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, and please…
Share with anyone
who’s ever loved a parent,
a garden, or
enjoyed their childhood,
or wished they’d done.
That about covers everyone.
Dallas wrote a series of posts about almost getting married, but when her fiancé gave her the slip at the alter, she took her best friend to Turkey to take advantage of the honeymoon, fell in love with a Turkish man and experienced a whole new world of adventure. Treat yourself to CrazyTraintoTinkyTown.
I sort of imagine that Dallas’s father is a bit like my dear neighbor Mr. Gerber, who was locally famous for his dahlias and also grew roses, green beans and grapes. We are all richer for our associations with those who are connected to nature and who appreciate the art of growing things. Do you have a special garden influencer in your life? Please share. Thanks for reading! – Kaye
