		<description><![CDATA[People. This week has threatened to be my undoing. But I got to shop &#8217;til I dropped yesterday at the Brimfield Fair with friends, which helped.

		<description><![CDATA[One of my earliest posts here was a wishlist post about this crazy tree. I never really thought I&#8217;d find a place for it, or that it would find its way to me. But it&#8217;s here. It&#8217;s here. This is Toona sinensis &#8216;Flamingo,&#8217; or Chinese toon tree, one of my garden&#8217;s class of 2012. Yes, [...]]]></description>

For a while, though, I&#8217;ve had the good fortune to write and talk about plants professionally, and I need to offset that a bit.
