Britney Spears….digging in to stay grounded!!

I just need to share this article with you from the Sun a paper in the UK.  Sources say Britney spears has turned the soil in an attempt to find happiness in her life…finally.  I just hope she saved her hair (Spears shaved her head in the past) to place in the garden to repel rodents and improve nitrogen in the soil!!

The songbird, who has a history of mental health problems, has become devoted to a self-help programme called flower therapy — based on horticulture.

She has also been closely studying books about the spiritual aspects of gardening while on tour in the United States.

A source said: “Britney has tried every kind of therapy going. She’s studied yoga, seen numerous counsellors and even experimented with mysticism, but they’ve never been more than passing fads.

“This time seems different though. She’s committed to learning as much as she can about horticulture and how it impacts your well-being.

“Whenever she returns to her California home she’s straight out in the garden working. She’s very proud and knowledgeable about what she’s planted and what is growing around her house.”

Flower therapy uses flower essences to “balance physical and emotional disturbances”.

Toxic singer Britney, 27, had a series of breakdowns in 2007 and was twice sectioned the following year.

She now has random drug and alcohol tests under the terms of her custody deal to keep sons Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two.

And she’s so determined to stay on the road to recovery that she has become a devotee of the self-help manual Chicken Soup For The Gardener’s Soul — by American lifestyle guru Jack Canfield.

The source said: “That has given her a lot of solace.”

    Hi Frankie

    I watch breakfast television every morning and I enjoy the show. Especially when you talk about gardening. My husband brought home a tomato plant that should grow about 15 feet. It is about 3 feet now. But he also planted about 4 hot pepppers in the same pot. Should this be a problem. As I told him to remove them and replace basil and petunias like you said on the show. But he is stubborn. I have to see this plant grow and the tomatoes tasting spicy,.

    Hope to here from you soon.
