Lemon Balm

January 9, 2020 By Karen Creel

Plant lemon balm directly in the garden in pots to control spreading

It’s January, so I would imagine you are wondering why I’m writing about mosquitos. I’m already dreading them.  We have had a mild winter so far, and rain, rain, rain.  Rain is forecast AGAIN this  weekend and the high is 68.  We need a good cold snap to kill them.  Mosquitos are terrible in my…

Christmas Herbs: Rosemary

December 5, 2016 By Karen Creel

Rosemary played a role in the Christmas story

When I think of Christmas herbs,  rosemary doesn’t usually come to mind.  Frankincense and myrrh are known by most people as the rare and expensive herbs brought to the Christ child after his birth. But, after reading an article about Rosemary and it’s significance at Christmas I was surprised to find that Rosemary, or the…

August 18, 2014 By Karen Creel

  Situated at the bottom of the steps on my back deck is a small herb garden.  I have had the garden for years and it has undergone a lot of transformation.  It is one of my favorite places to sit and just think.  My garden contains not only herbs, but purple iris, orange day…

A Quick Note…

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age.  I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers.  Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch.  I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard.  My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden.  He had me help him  plant a garden in May before he died in August.  So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together.  I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
