Gardening with Soule

Still nothing blooming outside
 but inside I have an African Violet that more than makes up for that.
I hope you are having a wonderful day! 

Early to bed, early to rise,
Work like hell: fertilize.

Everyone is ready for springtime and that was very apparent at the Philadelphia Flower Show.  So instead of more snow pictures I will share a few more of the sights I saw there last Friday. This is what I wish my outdoor Wednesday looked like.
But it still looks the same outdoors here, even though our weather [...]

Philadelphia Flower Show had so many gorgeous flowers.Â
It was so nice to see them all blooming and fragrant.
  This clematis was simple and pretty.
This is what it looks like backed up a bit.
The colors of hydrangeas never fail to please.

Going green always makes me think about Kermit the frog singing” it’s not easy being green”.Â
The truth is, it is easy.   It reminds me of how my mother in law and grandmother did things.  There was little waste in those households.  My mother in law kept a cut open milk carton on the counter [...]

 There isn’t much scenery around here that isn’t snow covered.Â
These waves looked more like they should be slapping against the beach instead of drifted in front of my garage. Â
I sent my son and his best friend out to clear the 3 foot drifts so  I could eventually get my car out of the garage.  After [...]

Today is my 200th post and I ask myself ….  Why do we blog? 

For some it is a journal that evolves into understanding one’s self.Â
For some it’s a hobby. Â
For some it’s a way to be connected to others that like the same things.Â
For some it’s a way to explore their passion.Â
For some it’s just plain fun!
Whatever the reason [...]
