It’s official! It’s fall, and today feels like it here in Georgia. The temperature is 66 degrees and I am loving it. We had such a hot, humid summer, I thought I wouldn’t be ready to even say the word garden until next spring. But…here I am writing about how to plan a fall garden. …
Using Ollas in the Garden
When Mary Kathyrn Dunston with Dripping Springs Ollas reached out to me to try her Ollas in my garden, the first thing I thought was “what is an Olla” ?

I’m ready to get out and play in the dirt. We had a rain free day over the weekend, and I cleaned out my butterfly garden, and planted gladiolas and yarrow. My new raised bed is planted with strawberries, and the smaller second one is ready for lettuce seeds. Perennial plants are popping up and…

Stephanie Rose of Garden Therapy has written a number of books, and I have many of them. When I learned she had written a new one called Garden Alchemy I knew I wanted it. In fact, I preordered it before it was even released! The Gardening Alchemy book is packed with over 80 ideas to naturally…
