I love participating in blog hops, because I’m able to share great blogs with you, that you may not otherwise know about. This is a “trunk or treat” blog hop, and being a gardener, that involves decorating throughout the garden. I always start with my black bicycle underneath a pine tree. This tree is at…
Orange Flowers for the Fall Garden
Orange you glad it’s fall? Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Orange has never been a favorite color of mine, but you can’t decorate for fall without orange. That goes for the garden too. Orange flowers for the fall garden are at all the garden centers. There is a good variety including chrysanthemums, pansies, fall zinnias. I…
Vintage Tin Garden Twine Holder
I am in the process of turning an old buffet into a potting bench. I wanted to create a few “accessories” to go on it. For some reason, I can’t keep up with my garden twine. Over the summer I have bought at least three rolls. It was time to find a place for it….
Propagating Scented Geraniums.
Tanya Anderson of Lovely Greens is taking a brief vacation. During this time she has had a number of bloggers “guest posting” for her. This was a great opportunity for me, since Tanya has a lot of followers as she writes about her life on the Isle of Man, an island in the Irish Sea located…
Planting Fall Carrots
This year was the first year I planted a spring garden. I had started a CSA and wanted to provide several weeks of produce for my shares. Carrots were included in that garden, and I had a lot of success with them. Many of the vegetables I planted in the spring are suitable for a fall…
Vintage Flower Vase
I purchased this vintage vase and bank at a local antique shop several years ago. The colors and the elves are reminiscent of the 50’s, and I was born in 1956. The colors are favorites of mine and the elves and mushrooms would fit into my gardening themed office. They remained on my desk for…
Rusty Garden Containers
I’m drawn to rusty stuff. Tubs, buckets, old tools, cans, and even bird cages can be used as rusty garden containers, or to add a little whimsy to the garden. Anything rusty and crusty seems to find it’s way in my car when I go junking. This old sifter would be the perfect container for…
Gardeners Herbal Hand Balm
I have purchased several pairs of garden gloves over the years, and finally gave up. I can not garden in gloves. The result? If you’re hard on your hands, your doing it right. The time spent weeding, pruning, planting, tilling, and spreading mulch, can wreak havoc on your hands. Lotions are good, but a herbal…
Farm Fresh Eggs
Remember, not so many years ago, when all we had to choose from when shopping for eggs was small, medium, large, and jumbo? Now throw into that mix, cage free, and free range, and antibiotic and hormone free? What does all that mean and which should you choose? You don’t have to worry about…
Citronella Lemon Balm
I like to buy new plants for my garden, and it was no different when I went to purchase scented geraniums for a guest post I am doing in September. I came back with 4 scented geraniums and 1 citronella lemon balm. I already have lemon balm in my herb garden, but the strong scent…
