Why the name FRED




Category: FRED - the garden | Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2006 11:56 pm

A few years ago I was reading entries on a gardening website about the names everyone had given their gardens. Since my imagination is sometimes not as active as his, I asked my dearest hubby "What do you think I should name my garden?" without a second's hesitation he answered "FRED"

Rather than thumping him upside the back of the head as was my first inclination, I started giving it some thought. It grew on me, so my garden is named FRED. Sometimes it reminds me of Fred Mertz from the I Love Lucy series.....ornery and always ready to argue with me about plans.

I will be making a sign for it this spring using Runes as the letters...
Fehu - success
Raido - progress
Eihwaz - endurance
Dagoz - security

Hi Toni,

Welcome to GardenStew and best of luck with your new blog :)

I like the name FRED. It's not pretentious and it is quite approachable in my opinion.

Yaba daba doo (as Fred Flintstone would proclaim)
