What a pleasure it is to open up the weekend Style section and find Janine Pineo’s column on gardening. I have enjoyed Janine’s columns ever since they became a regular feature. With all the news about budget deficits, impending war and corporate layoffs, her column is a shining star in your newspaper.

Thank you Janine, for giving me the opportunity to laugh and smile as I read your witty and reflective compositions.
