How to Grow a Fig Tree in the Home Garden

August 5, 2019 By Karen Creel

Looking for a great fruit for the home garden? Fig trees are easy to grow and low maintenance.

About 5 or 6 years ago, I purchased a little fig tree at a flea market.  I have blackberries, and grape vines,  so a fig tree would be a great addition to our home garden.  Somewhere I had gotten the impression fig trees were bushes.  Nope, that little fig tree is now about 10 feet…

How to Grow Yarrow

July 28, 2019 By Karen Creel

I was teaching a soap making class at my friend Ivana’s herb farm, Lavender and Rust, when I was taken back by her mass plantings of Yarrow.  I knew I had to buy some of the plants she had for purchase, and learn how to grow yarrow.   Both the white and pink yarrow were planted…

A Quick Note…

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age.  I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers.  Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch.  I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard.  My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden.  He had me help him  plant a garden in May before he died in August.  So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together.  I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
