As you likely know, the garden has a way of completely transforming itself throughout the course of the growing season, whether we help it…or not. This year I seriously went for it when I was trying to keep the weeds under control, and even hired help once, had amazing relatives come across the state to…

I got some work to do in my carrot game. I’ve learned they really do their best when they are in a row without other competition. It’s difficult to weed around carrots without pulling the carrots themselves out of the ground. I believe I planted six different varieties. There’s something about having the rainbow of…

I have a friend who asked me to help her create her flower bed design. Now, I’m more of just a throw things here and there because I’m too busy doing a million other things, but that does not mean that the information isn’t still in my head. We didn’t get very far into spouting…
