How to bring your houseplants indoors for winter

Finally!, The weather in Georgia has started to cool down.  I didn’t think we were going to have a fall season after the horribly hot, dry summer we experienced.  But, the nights have started to cool down, and temperatures have started dipping into the 40’s.   It’s time to bring your houseplants in for the winter….

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…

How Does Your Garden Grow?

May 18, 2015 By Karen Creel

What’s growing in your garden this week? As I step out of my back door, the smell of honeysuckle is intoxicating.  It grows along the tree line in my back yard, and sitting out  on my back deck drinking my morning coffee, or just pulling weeds is such a treat.  I hate to see them go in…

Troll Doll Succulents

May 8, 2015 By Karen Creel

Remember those little troll dolls that were so famous in the 60’s?  I had one that I carried everywhere and I remember on vacation one year I left it at the motel. My dad drove back to get it for me! I guess he didn’t want to hear crying all the way to Florida. I…

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.
