I was pruning the Rose of Sharon in my back yard yesterday and found myself thinking about "Grapes of Wrath." Am I the only non-Oklahoman who calls it a "Rosasharn" just because of that book? Maybe it was the heat. But I also got to thinking about how much literature you could grow in your yard. My yard contains said Rosasharn; a cluster of irises (named for the Greek goddess of the rainbow); and a rose that may or may not have been named for Shakespeare (I only vaguely recall the tag.) The grass is St. Augustine ... although that may be stretching things. I know that I'm just scratching the surface here, and some people plant entire gardens in literary themes. Are you one of them? Post a note here and let us hear about it.
