Why the Hedgehog?

I figured sooner or later someone is going to ask me, "Why the Hedgehog?" Well, when I first thought of Hodgepodge as the name for this column, somehow a hedgehog just seemed to go with it. Now the more I think about it, it would be unusual to find a hedgehog in most any garden, but then the Geranium Farm isn't just any garden, and Barbara isn't just any "gardener".

A hedgehog is a quirky and unusual little fellow to stumble upon in your garden, as is the Hodgepodge. This is a place on "the farm" where all kinds of ideas and exchanges will be able to be cultivated and grown.

It's a smart farmer that knows that there's more than one way to till the soil.
