Gardening with Soule

There are so many different flowers.Â
I even had a tomato that turned red.Â
Unfortunately, the critters that live amongst us decided it would be great fun to pick, take a bite or two and leave in the dirt to rot.Â
 I am not sure if it’s squirrels or chipmunks.
Devils, I ‘d say.  They have pulled up [...]

 I have this box of postcards I bought at a garage sale.
Among the gems I found were these postcards of flowers.
 They are really old, with the postmarks saying 1912.Â
 Some are written on but most are not.   

 This one is a postcard to confirm an order placed at a nursery.Â
Look at the price of what they bought.  [...]

Here are a few blooms from my garden this week!
  There is so much color everywhere it’s hard to choose which  one I like the most. 

What do you think?

I  had a bunch of fun taking pictures today for this post.Â
There are so many colors to take in right now.Â
Just when I think how sad it is that a certain flower is done blooming,
 another steps up and takes it’s place.

This lily is so bright and vibrant
   …and huge!  Â
 My rose “hot cocoa” has begun to [...]

I have a great product to blog about today.  I actually  came across it at the Philadelphia Garden Show  last year.  The minute I watched their demonstration that showed all the different settings of water flow from strong to trickle I was drawn in, but what really grabbed my attention was it’s construction that allows you [...]

It’s hard to believe that it is already mid June.Â
 Almost the first day of summer.Â
 Things are blooming away here.Â
 My vegetables seem to be doing well so far.

  Putting in these raised beds makes it so much easier to take care of them. Â
 I have delphiniums in blue,Â
and purple.
There are nasturtiums as well as
Evening Primrose(sun drops),
 lilies,
Â
and Campanula [...]

Planting a raised bed garden is really not anything new.   Take a look around and you will see raised beds in your neighbors yards or in public places.  It’s simply the act of creating a space with borders(wall, wood, stone,etc..) so you can add good soil.  They look really nice in addition to being easier to work [...]

We have been really enjoying the gardening so far this year.
We have had great weather up until the past week or so.Â
 We have returned to cold wet weather all this week.Â
 I’ts nice for a change, but everything that was parched is now quenched so the sun and warm weather can return now as far as I [...]

away today after yesterday’s soaking rain.Â
 My plants seem to have given a sigh of relief now that they have had a good long drenching.Â
  We could use even more rain but I keep hoping it doesn’t choose Saturday to give it to us.  I am throwing a baby shower brunch and rain is not invited.Â
 This [...]
