This red mandavilla is currently growing in my parent’s yard. I have had mixed luck with growing this flower myself. I’ve always had the more common pink variety, and have managed to over-winter one before, but they always die in the end. I like the vibrancy of this red so much, I was thinking about [...]
I showed you my tomato and basil seedlings a few weeks ago. On the day I posted I had just given up on my Beefsteak tomatoes, and proclaimed the seeds duds. Guess what… the next day a seedling started to push up. It was close to the edge of the Jiffy pot, so I was [...]
I started basil and tomato seedlings a few weeks ago in Jiffy peat pellets. The Mammoth basil seedlings are doing well, and the cherry tomatoes are coming along nicely. The lime basil is a bit slower to germinate and grow but they are doing good too. It looks like my Beefsteak tomato seeds were duds [...]
After many years of wanting one, I finally have a tumbling composter. I’ve tried home composting in the past, without a lot of success. I was notorious for forgetting to turn the pile, and my dogs also found it a great spot to dig. I haven’t had a vegetable garden for a few years [...]

For many of us, spring gardening chores are on our minds. While, the beds have probably already been cleaned out, there is always something to be done, moving, dividing, weeding… the list goes on and on. I love gardening, but sometimes the chores can be daunting. One part of gardening I love, which doesn’t take [...]
These are two of my favorite daffodils. I also have several other kinds, but these hold a special place in my heart. I actually put the bulbs in shortly after finding out I was pregnant, so this is their third year in my garden. Both have been hardy and are slowly starting to spread. The first is [...]
Antique Watering Can in the Garden I love this antique watering can on display in my garden. When we bought our Victorian era home, the house had been in the same family since it had been built. Although we did not find any big dollar treasures, there were odds and ends hanging about from a century [...]
