Gardening with Soule

                         The theme for Photo Hunter this week is “Twisted”.  This is a photograph of a morning glory ready to open.      A morning glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.~ Walt Whitman

Everywhere I go in my garden these days I am greeted left and right by bees.  Busy Busy Bumble Bees. They are very busy working over the flowers and collecting pollen before the frost comes.   They don’t seem to mind me there snapping their pictures or working in the garden near them. If I get [...]

   The middle of September is upon us.  It is cooler but it’s still nice enough.  You can tell that summer weather is just about done, but the flowers are rebounding with the cooler temperatures.  We picked the last of our tomatoes. The only things left in our veggie garden are hot peppers… and more hot  peppers.  (Have I mentioned [...]

Thought I would join in the fun for Vintage Thingies Thursdays~ mixing my love of plants and planters with vintage  and whimsey~  you get these really fun planters.  Nothing can make me happier than stopping at a garage sale or skimming ebay and finding one of these types of beauties.   My  sons both think they are [...]

  On Saturday, my friend Linda and I drove out to a farm market about 30 minutes from here.  They have great produce and plants so we wanted to see if we could find some mums, pumpkins or anything that made us feel like fall was in the air.  When we were almost there, we were thrilled to see a small [...]

I began using Green Cure this summer on a weekly basis.  Due to all of the rainy, damp weather we have gotten around here I have used it as a preventive measure against powdery mildew.  One can only guess how many different afflictions my plants have avoided because I have been using  Green Cure faithfully every week.  It [...]

Today is Fertilizer Friday once again and once again Iam thrilled to participate in Tootsie’s FF. I have been busy all week, but never too busy to stop and smell the roses~  that reminds me, my Hot Cocoa re-bloomed.  They are such beautiful roses.  I also have an interesting lily that I don’t know the name of and [...]

You’ve gotta  LOVE  July!          Visit Tootsie Time to see links to many beautiful gardens. Enjoy your Friday and thanks for visiting.   A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken.  ~James Dent

   Today is Friday already! The weeks really go by fast in the summer.  We have actually had two or three days without rain this week.  That is really good.  I don’t mind the rain as much as the gloomy skies that go along with it.  But hopefully that trend is behind us for a while.  [...]

It is still friday, so I hope I am not to late to participate in the fun of Fertilizer Friday. (Thanks to Tootsie)  Today was very busy, I worked on my stone patio, before the rain, during the rain and after the rain.  If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.  Otherwise it will never be finished.  [...]
