I have just a wee bit of fall left where I can fill the empty outside container (part shade) with ...something. Ideas? I love everything. The soil will be good, I can water it easily, but it gets partial sun. The regular petunias, begonia, creeping jenny and marigolds have done all right there. »
I have been out in my garden weeding. I mean where do they all come from? But it made me think about gratitude.

Only one of them has a few blossoms on it and the rest of the plants are really tiny. My soil is really clay like and it has been rainy and cool here. T »
I was at the nursery yesterday when a stranger said to me, "I donno WHAT to plant. We're supposed to be in early spring, but it's almost eighty degrees all week. Many years we have FROST as late as a month from now. So...cool weather, early spring, or summer flowers?" The store must be thinking the »
I just read an article about Mulch. Most of us are using it with good effect. Now to find out the large companies and garden stores who sell us our bagged mulch have run out of sources so they are cutting good trees to chip for mulch. The article suggested finding our own sources so we use materials »
I have a mixed border garden, with a fish pond which I built myself and a arbour which I built myself. I am proud of them because I am not a handman type. The back yard is basically all bed and paths, I need to some more in the front, but my pride and joy each year is my patio garden, where I surrou »
