Propagating Scented Geraniums.

September 13, 2016 By Karen Creel

Propagting scented geraniums is a great way to increase your plants without buying more

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

September 7, 2016 By Karen Creel

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

September 6, 2016 By Karen Creel

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

September 5, 2016 By Karen Creel

I love using rusty containers in my garden. They can hold flowers, or add a little whimsy to the garden

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

September 3, 2016 By Karen Creel

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

September 2, 2016 By Karen Creel

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

September 1, 2016 By Karen Creel

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

August 30, 2016 By Karen Creel

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…

Recycled Garden Planters: Old Toolboxes

August 28, 2016 By Karen Creel

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…
