I needed to just “run in” to the local large garden shop, The Barn Nursery, to pick up a bag of onion sets. That was a mistake. An hour later, I did just leave with the onion sets, but it’s definitely springtime in the garden in our area. The store was bursting at the seams with…
Carolina Jasmine
My Carolina Jasmine is in full bloom. This is the first year it has been covered in blooms and it is about 4 years old. We planted it near this split rail fence because the vines can exceed 20 feet it length. Also, it needs full sun, which we have plenty of in my back yard. Before…
Herbs for Chickens
I have had chickens before, but our old barn was not predator proof and one by one something…a possum or raccoon, was able to get into the barn and kill them. I knew I would not get any more chickens until I could be sure they would be safe. The old barn was torn down…
Painted Rocks Garden Markers
A local urban farm has an annual plant sale and craft show every April, and I will be having a booth. I’ve seen the painted rocks used as garden markers on Pinterest and have wanted to make some. I think they will be great for my garden show booth. I found a few beside an…
Lavender Bug Bite Stick
I belong to a great group of garden and DIY bloggers called the Garden Charmers. Jan Berry of the Nerdy Farmwife is one of the members and I have been following her blog for quite a while. She lives on a farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia with her husband, two children and…
The Garden in March
We have had a LOT of rain over the last month, but in between, some really great warm weather. I’ve gotten a lot of things done over the last couple of weeks, but still can’t get some things planted, because the ground will not dry out. My neighbor’s dad has a tractor, and like a…
St. Patricks Day Luck of the Irish Wreath
I love a challenge, and when Megan Chamberlin of C’mon Get Crafty challenged a group of bloggers to create a St Patrick’s Day craft from dollar store items, (total cost less than $10.00) I signed up. My St. Patrick’s Day Luck of the Irish Wreath included a trip to the Dollar Tree and Michaels. Total cost…
Gardening Gnome Quote
My concrete gardening gnome was found at a local flea market for $5.00. He’s shown up in many places in my garden, and is waiting anxiously on top of the armoire in my bedroom, for spring. But like all of us, he knows it will be here soon, and the gardening season will begin. Do…
Rusty Garden Decor
If we believe the groundhog, spring will soon be here. That means gardening, and getting your rusty garden décor out. I’m drawn to rusty objects, and they fit in perfectly with my garden. Rusty fairies tucked into flowers, peeping out as you pass by create a surprise to those passing by. Another favorite of mine…
Doorknob Photo Holder
I went to a new antique and salvage store in Chattanooga called the Refindery. Most of the things there I would love to have had but the prices were a little out of my reach. (You get spoiled when you go to flea markets and can pick up things less expensively.) In addition to antiques, they…
