Rudbeckia Flowers
I like to buy flowers that reseed, can be divided, and are easy to grow. When you have a big yard, with lots of space to be planted, it can become expensive. Plus, I like to create a garden space that will return the next year, and I can move on to another area. Rudbeckia…

Bread and Butter Zucchini
Zucchini is sneaky. You can go out one day and it’s 2 inches long. Two days later you can play baseball with it. After picking 7-8 from the garden this morning I thought I would try my hand at making bread and butter zucchini. I washed the zucchini and cut it up into small cubes….

There are some very talented gardeners there, and this year’s theme appeared to be fashion and flowers. The color purple was also used in…
