Most of us are out in our yards and gardens, busy with weeding, watering, and bringing in the “fruits of our labor”. I guess my house has suffered a little (a lot). Working full time, helping my mother, granddaughters, and trying to run my Gardenchick business, little time has been left over for the dust…
Fourth of July
Wishing you and your family a safe and happy 4th of July! “You may think you have overeaten, but it is only Patriotism” (Erma Bombeck)
Amber Resin
There are so many essential oils available, that I will never be able to sample them all. Some I use for their medicinal quality, others simply for their fragrance. I tend to lean toward the sweet smelling floral ones; such as jasmine, neroli,or ylang-ylang. Vanilla is another scent I love. Others such as patchouli are…

Summer Solstice
It’s Official! The summer solstice occurred yesterday marking the first day of Summer. Like most of you, I didn’t need a calender to tell me that. Did I miss spring? Sweltering temperatures in the 90’s with a heat index in the 100’s has lingered here for the last week or so. We were out in…
Fathers Day
Dad, I miss you, but felt you in the garden with me this morning.Jesse H. Johnson September 27, 1926- August 15, 2008
Herbal Tub Teas
I gathered up my courage, and early this morning went out to gather the lavender off of my plants. Who knew bees got up so early? I hadn’t even heard my little rooster attempt his weak crows this morning. Anyway, not to be deterred, I dove in and started clipping back the stalks. The bees…
Lavender is Blooming
I love lavender, and planted this one plant last year next to our patio. I put the old garden gate behind it, and the sign hanging off the back says “Lavender”. A little hemp beehive and old yellow metal chair complete the scene. I am going to cut this lavender this morning, and it should…
In My Garden
What a difference 5 weeks make. We planted the garden less than 5 weeks ago, and you can see how the rain we have had has really helped the garden grow. I think we have watered only twice. Once at planting, and a couple of days ago. We have corn, green beans, okra, tomatoes, squash,…
chick update
Aren’t my babies getting to be big? They are now in their own HUGE pen. I tried the first few nights to corral them into their house, but found that they liked roosting in the trees, and it was getting a little embarrassing knowing they continually outsmarted me. This pen is on the side of…
