The First Women Professional Gardeners

The first paragraph in the first subheading, Women in the garden, considers men doing farming and women doing gardening and small animal-tending.

What kind of animal sentients were considered small animals tend-able by women?

Revamping the Allotment

The second paragraph in your introduction mentions potato blight.

Might we go back in time relevantly because potato-related, perhaps non-relevantly because not allotment-related?

Was the potato blight only in Ireland or was it also in Cornwall or England or Scotland or Wales?

The third in-text image appears to be of a young animal sentient lying asleep or dead.

The former constitutes the possibility that I hope for.

Is there any information concerning the animal-sentient type -- bear? -- and whether that animal sentient is -- hopefully -- alive?

The July allotment

Thank you!

It intrigues me how one knows when the pond life makes its back into home waters.

Might pond weeds offer different colors and textures with versus without pond life?

The Monk Who Went Missing

English Wiktionary associates Maurus with the Greek μαυρός ("dark, indistinct, perplexing, sightless, unnoticed, vague") and Μαυρός ("Moor") via the later Latin Maurus ("Moor, North African").

Did Dom Maurus Deegan have the name Maurus as a birth or a priestly name?

The third subheading, Public domain vectors, ends with two links.

The second link informs me that "404 Oops! The page you are looking for was not found. Return Home."

Is there another way of accessing this linked information?

The Power and the Glory: Who is a saint?

The next-last heading, Execution and afterwards, apprises us of a priest whose confession does not get heard by another priest.

Is it possible for a priest in such a situation to hear and respond to his confession and to implement his own Last Rites?

Tryfan and the Glyders: One of Wales' Toughest Walks

Thank you!

The Etymological Dictionary of Old Welsh by Alexander Falileyev associates Tryfan with try- ("very") and bann ("tip, top") even as it begins the tryfan entry on page 151 of its year 2000 edition with "limit"!

Is there any local indication as to whether or not "very high peak" (according to English Wikipedia) or "limit" or something else invokes the Welsh-intended meaning of Tryfan?

Understanding Sacrament

The computer accepted my question even as it then acted as if I asked it signed out.

So please accept my apologies if I appear to ask the following question twice.

Thank you for your answer March 11, 2023, to my previous, same-day question.

A lay person can baptize. Specific words must be necessary, correct?

Must a sprinkle-able or spray-able water source or a water body be necessary also?

Essex Days ; The Prittlewell Saxon hoard,Southend on Sea

This wizzley draws me back time and time again because of the informative images and information.

Name and word origins and their evolving meanings always ensure my enthusiastic interest.

Several readings and research forays into its applications and implications finally find me with my favorite: name meanings!

English Wiktionary links the Prittlewell Saxon name Seaxa with "Saxon" but in terms of origins with West German for "dagger, knife."

The Prittlewell Saxon grave indeed maintains a sword.

Might Seaxa as brother to a king have a duty to defend -- as epitomized and symbolized by his sword -- God and monarch (even as the king's son might do their duty ;-D as heir and spare)?

The British Flower Show

At times. We had difficulties with insects atbthevTatton Show one year.

The British Flower Show

Saturday morning one cabbage-white butterfly (Pieris rapae) and two eastern tent-caterpillars (Malacosoma americanum) became my first-observed respective insect and pest.

This early afternoon a bumblebee (Bombus spp) became my second-observed insect.

So I began to consider whether or not flower shows such as the British above end up with insect-species attendees.

Your last in-text image features an enticing array of nice-looking, nice-scented, nice-tasting, ice-textured edibles.

Is insect attendance a problem?

It depends upon the individual and their life situation.

The First Women Professional Gardeners

Probably not to men asbmuch. Women head gardeners are more common nowadays in modern times and are the results of social progress.

The First Women Professional Gardeners

Unitedstatesian interpretations of eastern-pond wealthiest families into the early 20th century associate women employed as cooks, governesses and housekeepers in great houses with female members of Austen and Bronte character-like families fallen on hard socioeconomic times.

Did that apply to men employed in such counterpart positions as butlers and head gardeners?

Might such a prescription, concomitantly also such a proscription, apply to the first women employed as head gardeners in great houses?
