Garden Trends: Seeing Double

Oh no, Mama's having one of her spells. It may be a migraine, very possibly that pesky vertigo, always annoying. But what a great lead-in for a subject I've been thinking about lately. All this dizziness has me pondering double flowers.

Winter isn't even for the birds.

I know the necessity of winter for the plants around us, but I am so dying for spring to get here. I have so much to do in my yard and on my pond that it is driving me crazy. I'm getting a new koi this week (her name is Dotty) and if you happen to see one of my posts in the water garden section, I have a picture posted of her there. I just got through preparing a quarantine tank for her that she will reside in for about 3 weeks. I hate the whole quarantine process, but it is so necessary for the… Continue

Tropical Vacation in St Paul



I can surmise from the tell-tale glow of the timer lights that my neighbors have all taken off for warmer climes. In need of a little heat and humidity myself, I thought I'd take a little trip. From the photos you probably thought Hawaii. No, I decided on St. Paul. Visit The Garden Buzz and join me on a tour… Continue

2010 Perennial Plant of the Year: Baptisia australis...The True Beauty of False Indigo (and how it reminded me of Stevie Nicks singing at the Grammys)

I was toying with idea of comparing the 2010 Perennial of the Year with a chubby, pretty girl in the third row of a choir. But then I saw the Taylor Swift/Stevie Nicks duet on the Grammys. And I took a different path...read more at The Garden Buzz

Cold today but sunny here in Mesopotamia. I saw 24.5 degrees on the thermometer today......... so warmed up more than they said it would. That's nice! Just having the sun shine is such a mood-lifter for me! The birds were busy at the feeders today, they are fun to watch. I see that an Amish farmer tapped his maple trees this week............... might be a little early for that?? It's not fun having to dump frozen buckets of sap........... been there done that! Also another Amish farm has their s… Continue

Waking Up

It’s been a long time since I signed on. In the mean time winter has been in full swing but we’ve been lucky not to see the harsh weather of last winter. We’ve had very little snow and a minimum amount of very cold days. It’s been warn enough that the bonsais are confused and are almost fully leafed out in the greenhouse. So now I’m in a quandary. Do I take them out, or leave them in. The bonsai crab apple not only has leaves but is beginning to put on blooms. We are sure to have some more cold… Continue

Eating Local Made a Little Easier



Just days after the announcement of Apple's iPad, it's easy to think that all the new ideas are hi-tech, complex and out of reach. And then an idea comes along that is sweet and simple, and based on sharing. A smart lady with the appropriate last name of Farmer, has started a website called The Farmer's Garden… Continue

Fairy Houses

Commenting on the picture of the fun fairy house that Michelle Compton commented on Christel Chesney's photo 'IMG_0810'!! DeniseBrownfairychasersW.jpg" alt=""/>


In the fall, I organize an artist of a dozen professional artists in Portsmouth NH that builds Fairy Houses. The Fairy House Tour is run by about 25 volunteers that get kids to build fairy houses all over town throughout the gardens and parks. About 5,000 people turn out to see it. Quite an event with all the little kids (and s… Continue

Barbara, Thanks for the explanation. I KNEW there had to be a good reason in there. We also have property (10 acres) but it is 90 miles from our city home so we don't visit it as often as I'd like to. I KNOW what you mean by time and labor. I have…

Morning Jill, Have a great time at the show, I am unfortunately not going although I told you I was. Before you go check to see how much sun you get in the yard, if the sun comes out that is. Try to do an hourly chart. I envy you the chance to start…
