Hi Sheryl,
I just read the content of http://shernor.wordpress.com/2011/07/23/uglynest-sighting/
“If you’re looking for an easy-to-use “bug I.D.” book for the Prairies, look no further than Nora Bryan and Ruth Staal’s The Prairie Gardener’s Book of Bugs: A Guide to Living with Common Garden Insects (2003, Fifth House Ltd.). It is compact and well-written, and the illustrations by Grace Buzik are amazing.” I just wanted to say thank you for the lovely compliment about my art.
Sincerely,
Grace Buzik
Hello, Grace, I’m really pleased that you stopped by to check out my blog! The Prairie Gardener’s Book of Bugs is my go-to resource for insect i.d. and your fantastic illustrations are a huge part of the reason why I love this book so much!
Grace! I just picked up a book that you once owned in a second-hand book store, Stalking Birds with Color Camera by Arthur A. Allen. I think it’s the most beautiful birding book I’ve run in to. I then googled your name, just to discover that you’ve been an illustrator. I am busy painting in my studio here in Calgary…endangered species! I feel like the world is sooo connected, in the end. Thanks to Sheryl Normandeau for this wordpress! Painter Lady
That’s so exciting; I do hope Grace reads this! 🙂 Thank you very much for stopping by my blog!
Thanks for the shout-out!
Dan
You’re welcome! 🙂
I’m also pursuing an Urban Agriculture Certificate this year! It will be fun keeping up with you and your blog!
That’s awesome! I’ve learned so much already, and I’ve only just gotten started. Good luck with your studies; I’ll be sure to follow your happenings on your blog.
Love the blog – thanks for visiting mine, it lead me back to you! I don’t have much of a yard, condo living! I am going to try some gardening in pots. Over the last couple of years I have been pretty successful with herbs. this year I am going to add corn to the big pots and peas to grow up them, beans and nastursums in the hanging baskets. Any advise for the newbie container gardener?
Thanks so much for stopping by, and for your kind comments! I’ve been really enjoying the photos from your blog, fantastic work!
Glad to hear you’re trying some veggie container gardening this year! If you’ve already been successful with herbs in the past, then it will be no stretch for you to attempt veggies – you’ve already gotten the whole watering and feeding thing down pat and you know what kind of potting soil works best for you. 🙂 Make sure you have a deep enough and large enough container for the corn – I’ve had a few people tell me that corn can successfully be grown in raised beds, so a large container shouldn’t be much different. I’ve never tried it myself, so keep me posted on how it goes! Peas and beans will benefit from an inoculation of rhizobium bacteria, which you can buy in powdered form from any garden centre or seed company – just follow the instructions on the package to apply. Legumes fix nitrogen and the bacteria assist in the process, which helps to produce stronger, healthier plants. May I recommend a book (or two)? – Andrea Bellamy’s Sugar Snaps and Strawberries is a great read for anyone setting up a container garden and even though she’s based in Vancouver, she has a lot of tips that those of us in Calgary can really use. Closer to home, there’s anything written by Donna Balzer – she has a new one called No Guff Vegetable Gardening that is really interesting and fun to read.
Hope you have a great harvest! Do let me know how things turn out!
Hi there. Thanks for finding my blog and deciding to follow it. Hope you enjoy it!
You’re quite welcome! Looking forward to your future posts! 🙂
Hi Sheryl,
Since beginning my own blog, I have spent much time poking around the blogosphere – so many awesome writers, photographers and experts on any subject out there! I might never have happened upon your blog had you not decided to follow mine – thanks!
Sue
Thanks so much for stopping by, I appreciate it! Your blog is full of excellent design information and I look forward to future posts!
Thanks for dropping by and following my blog! I’m looking forward to exploring yours—especially the gardening hints.
Hi Sheryl, I guess we’re neighbours (almost). I love that you’re able to garden while living in an apartment. There’s a fab community garden in Oliver here in Edmonton (posted about it this summer). It was fun to see a bunch of different styles in one garden. Thanks for visiting Boomdeeadda, I appreciate it. I hang around an snoop a while here too. I love that giant sunflower!
Thanks so much for spending some time browsing around Flowery Prose! I love the diverse subjects you cover on Boomdeeadda (not to mention that everytime I visit your site, I get that song in my head! Awesome!). I look forward to your future posts! 🙂
I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying your visits to Boomdeeadda. I’m never sure what tommorrow will bring but that’s part of the challenge. I love that song too..it really says everything about my site. Thanks for your visits!
Thank you for visiting and following my blog. Much appreciated. I’ll be hanging around here…
Hi Sheryl,
So enjoy reading your blog and wanted to let you know that I nominated you for the Sunshine Blogger award. If this is a blogger activity that you do not participate in there is no expectation to follow through. Just enjoy the well-deserved promo! ~Thea
Thanks so much, Thea, I really appreciate your nomination! That’s very kind! 🙂
Your welcome! ~Thea
Love your blog ! I have an award for you at my place. Please stop by and check it out ! Bella
http://bellaremyphotography.com/2012/12/13/time-to-celebrate/
Thanks so much, Bella, for nominating me for the Liebster Award! How wonderful! 🙂
Sheryl, thank you for stopping and following my blog today. We live up the road from you in Edmonton. I look forward to following your blog and its conversations about all things flowery.
Take care,
Ivon
Hi, Ivon! Thanks so much for your message and for following Flowery Prose! I look forward to reading your upcoming posts, as well! Nice to meet a fellow Albertan.
Hello from Dublin Ireland (via Blooming Blogs) Sheryl. I’ve just read your blog about the Devonian Gardens – you’re right,they’re not much of an improvement on the old ones, are they? I remember them from the early nineties when I lived in Calgary.
Happy Solstice from Dublin – same latitude, different weather 🙂
Happy Solstice to you, too! I’m so happy that you stopped by my blog! Maybe the new gardens will “grow” on me – they do showcase interesting plant forms and textures, and I’m definitely a big fan of the living walls. But I just found the old design much more appealing and welcoming.
You have lovely images and great tips. Thank you for following my blog.
Thanks so much! I look forward to following all of your future posts! 🙂
I am delighted to have found you and your blog! I live near you and enjoy learning and growing in this challenging zone! Woohoo, let’s hear it for incredibly hardy native perennials and fast-growing vegetables! I have transformed my front yard into a native wildflower, perennial and shrub garden and in the backyard I utilize all the space – including horizontal – that I can. I look forward to learning more from you and enjoying lots of reading here.
Cheers, from a new fan, Gina 🙂
Thanks so much for your follow, Gina, I’m so happy you found my blog! Your garden sounds absolutely amazing – you’re definitely up to the challenges of our climate! I did some browsing on your blog as well – it’s fabulous, and I look forward to following all of your future posts! All the best! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Sheryl. I’m looking forward to reading your blog and looking at the great photographs.
Thanks so much for checking out Flowery Prose, I really appreciate it! Your blog is fascinating – I read through several pages last night and look forward to more of your posts! 🙂
Thanks for deciding to follow the posts from my blog and I hope you enjoy seeing my pictures
I’m looking forward to your future posts!
Hi Sheryl. I’m now following your blog and have included Flowery Prose in my blogroll. I look forward to more of your posts!
Hi, Jo Ann – thanks so much, I really appreciate the follow and the inclusion in your blogroll! I’m so happy to have come across your blog, I’ve really been enjoying your posts! I love to get outdoors and explore nature as well.
Congratulations, Sheryl!
I have nominated your blog for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award.
More about this nomination is at
Thank you so very much for the nomination – I really appreciate it! I’m currently buried under a few projects, but once I get a handle on them, I will create a proper post to celebrate! 🙂
Have a wonderful day!
Thanks for your kind wishes! No need to hurry, as the award is for helping bloggers, not for hurrying them 🙂
Hi Sheryl, Thanks so much for introducing yourself by following our site. Today the monsoon started–ah, an alleviation from the heat!–so we can relate to that feeling of relief when seasons change. How wonderful that you’re studying sustainable urban agriculture! That’s certainly a subject dear to our hearts, especially as World Environment Day and the theme of food waste reduction is upon us. Please check out the RAXA Collective facebook page, we’re posting lots of fun ideas on it this week. See you there!
Thanks so much for stopping by Flowery Prose! I will definitely check out your Facebook page! I look forward to all of your posts, both there and on your website!
Thanks so much for becoming a subscriber. I’m an avid gardener, and a backyard steward for our local nature society. Also, I retired a few years ago from a marvelous job working in Special Collections at a university library, where we had a huge horticultural collection. Happy blogging.
Thank you very much! I look very forward to following your blog posts!
Hi Sheryl, thanks for dropping by my blog – always nice to make new friends! I grow sprouts too, though not on the window sill as Orlando has chosen that spot for himself! I’m also inner city living and my tiny courtyard only gets sun six months of the year, something I find really challenging. Having a quick peek around your blog I begin to pick up a few ideas already, so I shall enjoy to read further posts!
Thanks so much! I can understand that Orlando may not wish to share his windowsill – he’s got his perfect little place! 🙂 I hear you with the small-space gardening challenges – but it just makes everything more interesting and fun! I look forward to following all of your posts!
Sheryl…thanks for following my blog. I am looking forward to hearing more about your gardening adventures in a climate zone that is sooooo different from mine!
Thanks so much! I’m so happy to have found your blog! 🙂
Thanks for the visit and follow!
And, likewise, thank YOU! 🙂 I look forward to reading your posts! Have a wonderful weekend!
You too! Hot here, but I love it! 🙂
Looks like I can learn a lot from you. Looking forward to reading and learning. All the best, Koko
Hi Sheryl. Thanks for following my Blog. I am from Alberta originally although I now live in New Brunswick. I am a botanist and interested in local foods, so I will find your site interesting, I know. Jane
I’m so happy to have found your blog – I look forward to your posts! 🙂
Sheryl, thanks for visiting and following my blog. I love gardens although I’m the world’s worst gardener! Especially here in Central Florida! So, I’ll just enjoy your gardening adventures! 🙂
I’m so happy to have found your blog! Thanks so much for checking out Flowery Prose, I really appreciate it! I’m so far from sunny Florida…climate wise, it’s like another planet! 🙂
Thanks for following my moonramblings blog. I hope you enjoy it. I am so glad that I’ve discovered your blog as it looks really interesting. I will enjoy!
Thanks so much! I look forward to reading your future posts! 🙂
Thank you for following WoollyMuses. I have enjoyed your photos and will be back. I must look up Angelica to see if it grown in Australia…I have never heard of it until I read your article.
Thanks so much for your follow as well! I’m so happy to have found your blog, and I look forward to your future posts! 🙂
That would be interesting to know if angelica grows in Australia; if you find out, please let me know! I think there are several different species, not all of them edible.
Hi. I am glad to meet you and your blog. 🙂 I am a wannabe gardener who has trouble keeping plants pretty. Your blog is very appealing to me. 🙂
I’m so happy you’ve found my blog – and I, yours! I look forward to reading more of your posts! 🙂
Sheryl,
These awards have probably come your way before, but I’ve nominated you for Very Inspiring Blogger Award, Best Moment Award, and Sunshine Award. You can pick them up from here, if you’re so inclined. 🙂
Thank you so very much – I’m honoured! Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
Hi Sheryl,
I wanted to send you a note about my canned pears recipe (http://growitcookitcanit.com/2013/08/28/canned-pears-in-maple-syrup/) since you mentioned you wanted to make it. Someone mentioned that the original recipe may not be acidic enough for water bath canning, so I’ve adjusted it a bit to make sure. Apologies, I hope I didn’t mess up any of your pears!
-Grow it Cook it Can it
Thanks so much for your message – I really appreciate the new info! I did make the recipe, but I didn’t end up processing them in the canner – I just refrigerated all of the jars (I only had 5 lbs of pears instead of 10 so I didn’t end up with too many jars). We’ve already eaten one and enjoyed it very much. Once again, thanks tons for this update – that’s very thoughtful of you to reach me.
Hi Sheryl – thanks for stopping by my blog and following – I see you too are fascinated by the world around you 🙂 – Zone 3a is a real challenge and I thought my zone was bad!
Thanks so much for your follow, as well! I’m so happy to have found your blog! Yes, zone 3a can be a bit intimidating sometimes, that’s for sure…but it makes every small success so rewarding! 🙂
AWESOME BLOG! Thanks for the follow!
Thank you so much, and likewise! I’m happy to have found your blog! 🙂

– Jen
Thanks so much, Jen! I finally had a chance this morning to sit down and read some of your posts…really enjoyable! (Some awesome recipes, too!). 🙂
Can’t imagine what led you to my blog, maybe the “Is it food or is it art?” post…anyhow, I’m glad you found it and that your visit led me to yours!
I like to explore many different subjects, art and writing…always on the lookout for something new! 🙂 Thanks tons for stopping by and taking a look at Flowery Prose!
Thank you for the follow! I hope you will not be disappointed…because for the last ten years I haven’t grown vegetables for the household. My work is consuming me and we travel too much.
My grandparents were gardeners both, though, so I love everything green. Here’s a place for me to learn new things – I will enjoy your company!
I’m so happy to have found your blog – it will be a pleasure to follow along! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and following my blog! I love all those gorgeous flowery pics…Looking forward to more, and hearing about the microgarden (I could use the tips).
Thank you very much for your kind words – I’m so happy to have found your blog! I’m a total newbie at cross stitch, and I will definitely draw inspiration from your work. I also love the fact that you review books and work as an editor – very cool!
Quite why I am not following you already is a mystery! Sorry for the slow uptake. I am looking forward to reading all about your world.
Thanks so much for the follow! I always enjoy your posts – it’s fascinating to hear about what you’re growing (and you always do such a great write-up)!
Thanks so much for visiting my blog. Many, Many years ago I was in Calgary, Alberta, loved it.

Hi Sheryl. Thank you for your encouraging visits to the Healing Garden. I appreciate your courage as a gardener in Calgary. I was partly raised on the North end of the Kootenay Lake. The Lake tempered our climate, but like here, a sudden arctic blast and we are delivered to your zone! You have all the best qualities for work as a horticultural therapist. Regards. The Healing Garden gardener.
Thanks so much for your kind words! I’m so happy to have found your blog – your photography and writing is thoughtful, beautiful, and informative.
Hi Sheryl thanks for popping by my blog from time to time, you have some beautiful rose photos up, and I love the berry jelly, there is something so satisfying about foraging and then bringing your spoils home and turning them into jams and jellies and other delicious foods!
We should go pick mushrooms soon, although we may already have missed the season now I think about it 😦
Thanks so much…I totally agree about the satisfaction that comes with creating something delicious from foraged wild foods! 🙂
Have a fantastic weekend!
Hi Sheryl. I’ve just nominated you for the Liebster Award.

Thank you so much – I really appreciate your thoughtfulness! I’m massively behind on…well…everything right now, but I will post about this soon! Have an amazing day! 🙂
Hi Sheryl, Thank you for stopping by and the like. You sound like me with a passion for plants and year round micro greens. I look forward to getting to know you 🙂 *Brigid

I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!
same to you Sheryl 😀
Thank you for stopping by at my blog; it is a nice surprise to see how much we have in common. I look forward to have a bit more time for exploring around your site – your jellies look so yummy!
Thanks tons! I’m delighted that I’ve found your blog…we do indeed have much in common!
I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend! 🙂
Sounds like you and I share some occupational and interest-related loves (and approaches to life), Sheryl. I’m so happy you stopped by my blog and introduced yourself and now I can look forward to learning from you here. I’ve only been in Calgary twice thus far, both times only passing through really, but know it’s a place I’d love to return and explore further, so it remains on my To Do list for ‘someday’. Meanwhile, you and another blog friend or two will have to give me my fix via vicarious visits. 😉
Cheers,
Kathryn
I am so happy to have found your blog as well and I am excited to “meet” you! This is one thing I adore about blogging, the chance to chat with so many different people and learn from them…it will be a delight following all of your posts! Have a wonderful week! 🙂
Hello! That sounds very interesting! Sustainable urban agriculture is something we eventually want to pursue 🙂 I liked the “growing words” bit too! Regards.
Oh, that’s very exciting – I do hope you get a chance to pursue urban agriculture! Thanks so much for checking out my blog – I so appreciate it! I look forward to following yours and keeping up with all your new posts! Cheers!
Hi Sheryl,
Thanks a lot for visiting my blog and following it.
Pretty nice photos of flowers and nature.
There many flowers here which I haven’t seen in our part of the world.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great time.
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for the follow at Little Dogs Laughed-we appreciate you taking the time to look-and I look forward to seeing more of your photographs as well-
I’m so happy to have found your blog!
Look forward to reading all about your gardens. I don’t have a lot of space, so I understand “micros” in any shape or form:-)
Small-space gardening can be challenging, but fun – it definitely encourages creativity! 🙂
Yes, and I have learned so much! I love vertical gardening in my small space which is something I would do even if I had a lot of space, a lot easier + easier on my back:-)
Sheryl, really enjoyed your “About”. Thank you for visiting my blog and subscribing! I’m off to see your lovely corner of the blogging world. Cheers! Margie
Wow! And I thought I was the only one with a micro-garden, my kids make fun of my kitchen full of baby plants and my dream was to rent a communal spot but someone told me they’re usually passed on to the next generation & stays in the same families forever.
I’m looking forward to browsing through your blog & following… thanks for coming on mine it is nice to find alike bloggers 🙂
I’m so happy to have found your blog – I absolutely love the variety of your posts, there is so much to enjoy! And I’m glad to meet another micro-gardener – we’ll have to compare notes! 🙂
I’m looking forward 🙂

Good on you, Sheryl! Lovely to know you – I’ll be catching up soon. 🙂

Hello Sheryl,
Thank you for following Just Another Nature Enthusiast. I’m happy to be sharing a peek into the Northwest with you 🙂
Jane
Hello newest Spikey! I know, a bit corny, eh, but that’s the term that has come to stick for those folk who are part of the clan known to be followers of Uncle Spike 🙂
Thank you… I really appreciate that as I for one, know how many interesting and entertaining blogs are out there.
My aim is to deliver an eclectic offering of posts, from my ‘point n shoot’ attempts at basic photography, to the sharing of my travel adventures over the decades, as well as day to day happenings here on the farm. Oh, plus a few observations on life as I see it, thrown in for good measure.
My promise to you is not to be overbearing, just a couple of posts a day, maybe 3 at weekends if I have something special to share. But if you are at a loose end one day, maybe you’ll enjoy trawling through some of my older stuff too. I have added plenty of categories to help in said digging process.
Thanks again and hope you have a great day…
UNCLE SPIKE
Thank you! I am pleased to have found your blog – I enjoy reading an eclectic and interesting mix of topics! Cheers!

Hi, Steve – thank you so much for your kind words, and for following Flowery Prose! I follow a few camping and hiking sites and found a link to your blog through one of them (wish I could recall which one at the moment, but I’m afraid I can’t). I love to hear about camping adventures all over Canada – and I look forward to more of your posts!
Hello Sheryl, I was searching for information on Cow Parsnip and your site showed up. I make a calendar for family and friends each year and this years theme is wildflowers. Thank you for providing the facts about this Alberta wildflower. I will return to search for some of your other wonderful ideas, we all have a few extra pumpkin seeds at this time of year to roast.
Bryan Flaman
