It’s time for fall planting and I have laid out the plan. Of course, being sick for the past week has already put me behind, but planting is not all that labor intensive and it’s still possible to catch up. It’s pulling up all the old stuff and figuring out where to put everything that’s […]
I was able to stay in the garden until noon. This is the first time all week that I have been able to spend much time at all out there without bursting into flames. So what did I do? I pruned and tied up tomatos. Did you know that it’s not necessary to plant entirely […]
Oh good grief! I just can’t catch up! I barely got anything done in May off my list of chores so most of it will have to carry over to June. I am, however, calling in extra troops – I’m going to have 1-2-Tree to limb up and thin all the trees. That will be […]

I just got back from a shopping trip at Home Depot and Lowes and I have to say that I was very reserved in my shopping. Looking back over my planting lists and pictures, I have come to the realization that I have killed a lot of really pretty plants – like these African violets? […]
Gladness is born of the April weather, And the heart is as light as a wind tossed feather. Who could be sad on a day like this? The care that vexed us no longer is. – Eben Eugene Rexford What’s blooming today? A stroll through the garden shows the trailing purple verbena in full bloom. […]
I took a garden tour through a neighbor’s garden and noticed that there was a particular plant coming up everywhere. I asked her what it was and the look on her face told it all… it was a weed. It started out as a lovely “trumpet vine”. And, yes, it is very lovely. At least […]
