- This caught my attention when I saw it on my watchlist and that gorgeous image sucked me right in to reading the article, which ticks all the DYK boxes, as far as I can tell. Article is well-written and neutral, photographs are beautiful and compliant with fair use, offline sources are accepted in good faith. I have slight reservations about a hook consisting almost entirely of a quotation, but that is an exceedingly minor nitpick which has little if any bearing on my decision as a reviewer – after all, the hook (combined with the image) did lure me directly, almost impulsively, into reading the article. I might try to come up with a potential alt hook to suggest, but otherwise I think this is good to go once the QPQ is completed. --Dylan620 (he/him · talk · edits) 04:01, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
new enough, long enough, no copyvio, and is well written with an interesting hook. This series of garden articles are fascinating, on a topic I had never thought of visually before, though my 81 year old mother is obsessed and would approve.
