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…
Garden Bench Makeover
I bought this little black bench a few years ago at a yard sale. I think I paid $20.00 for it. It has been sitting at the back of my yard at the entrance to the garden, and I haven’t done anything with it. The hot weather has dried up many of my plants and…
Obedient Plant
I can’t resist a bargain, and while shopping at Lowe’s last week, I headed to the half off rack at the back of the lot. Perennials were on sale $3.00. I like to find plants that I don’t have and ones that will multiply and fill in the large spaces of my yard. The obedient plant…
Lantana Plants
If you are looking for a plant for a sunny area, that can withstand the heat, lantana plants are a great choice. It adds a lot of color to your garden, and the butterflies and hummingbirds love it! Lantana comes in a variety of colors, and this scarlet red is beautiful. Lantana makes a…
Recycled Garden Planters: Old Toolboxes
I love to go to local flea markets and antique shops, looking for items I can use as recycled garden planters. I tend to be drawn to galvanized buckets, tubs, and as of late, metal toolboxes. When I don’t pay much for an old bucket or tub, it doesn’t bother me to put them out…
