I have very good news. We now carry Felco Pruners for both right and left handed users as well as a smaller sized pair for those of you with smaller hands.  These pruners are awesome.  They are made to last a lifetime. You can sharpen them or replace parts if need be. They fit your hand comfortably so [...]
Since I have virtually nothing to show from my outdoor garden, it’s back to the indoor plants to see what’s shaking. I brought my mandevilla in from the cold and it is doing great!  In fact, these are all plants that I had outside for the summertime.
   This guy was in my son’s room, needless to say it [...]
This flower pot is one of my favorites! I just love it. My neighbor threw it away. Yes, you heard me right. She threw it away. So I quickly ran across the street and scooped it up.Â
 Her husband was into gardening. He had a greenhouse and many plants. After he died, she weeded through alot [...]
 Ever heard of a Bird-scarer, a Moggy, a Bogeyman, a Shuft, maybe a Rook-scarer or a Kelson, Hodmedod or a Tattie bogle? How about Priapus?Â
 Let me enlighten you,  Priapus was the son of Aphrodite in Greek mythology. Priapus was a protector of gardens and orchards, and is typically portrayed as a hideous looking man. Birds tended to avoid fields where Priapus resided, [...]

My Vintage Thingie is something I bought at a flea market probably 20 years ago. At the time, I fell in love with it because it was so unique and different from anything I had ever seen as far as pottery.Â
 I paid somewhere around $25 dollars for it and that was a splurge for something [...]
 Gardening by the moon is an age old practice. Since the moon controls ocean tides, it is believed that it influences the groundwater tables beneath our feet and the movement of fluids in plants. This is why planting at a certain phase and harvesting at a certain phase is supposedly beneficial. Last evening during my [...]
Since it is dreary and gray outside today, I decided to look through my photos to see what I might have for Micro Monday. Turns out I have plenty. So I thought I would share a few of them which evoke memories of hot sunny cheerful days. I already miss them and summer is so very [...]
Happy Friday! Since I have put my gardens to bed for winter, I haven’t much to flaunt but I went out there anyway, hopeful, camera in hand. To my surprise I actually found a couple of blooms in the garden. Meager as they are, they are still flowers, so here they are. All two of [...]
There is still a bit of growing going on here.Â
The rose bush surprised me with a couple of new buds, even though I thought I had seen the last flower last week.
The daisies are still making up for lost time,
my hibiscus gave me one last bloom before I brought her inside Â
and the little [...]
