North Garden, Poly Tunnels and Phenological Events
Good morning Dear Reader. Got your boots on again? I was thinking I would take you on a tour of North Garden. But instead of doing it all in one day I would stretch it out all during the week. North Garden is not the most northern spot on the Farm, north and south speaking … Continue reading
Getting Around to Stuff, Some, Twenty Years in the Making
Check it out, I finally changed up my banner picture, made it a little more seasonal. I usually get that changed more regularly but I haven’t been doing much “regularly”, I still have tulips on my lap top screen. I like change, I feed on change, but this last year was so chalk a block … Continue reading
How the Heck!?! or Quick, Before a Week Goes By!
Warning: Pictures on this blog often have nothing to do with what I am talking about and sometimes they illustrate my words nicely, today they do both. . One of my favorite posts of recent, (A Flag On the Ceiling and a Promise Kept ) I found had been turned from a post (it actually … Continue reading
My Head is Spinning, I Can Not Type
Nearly ninety today and lotsa moisture. Up at five and out in the sun from nine to three thirty. Wished I had got going out of the house a little earlier, I can’t even remember what I dilli-dallied over. Feeling sorta queasy this evening. But I got lots done and big day tomorrow taking cuttings, … Continue reading

A Request Finally Attended
I certainly didn’t mean to have my slug rain up for so long and it certainly is not a good portrayal of our recent weather. But same said weather has made me rather ambitious but not nearly as ambitious as the weeds it may have seemed. But as I came home late enough from town … Continue reading
Malus Fusca
Evil (malus) and dark (fusca) seems to be a rather glum moniker for this lovely Pacific Northwest native. Commonly known as Pacific Crabapple. Even crabapple seems a poor autograph for such an ambrosial and faithful vernal season intermediary. Always to be counted on to burst into bloom and perfume the air once spring is well … Continue reading
I Love Green, Honest!
I had my second lesson with Tia on Photoshop Elements 6. I don’t have the patience to read technical manuals so I love that I can support Tia in her budding business and have someone I know well and relate to teach me what I want to know.–This weeks lesson: The stuff I forgot that … Continue reading
Dirt’s Tulips
This isn’t Today’s flower but since I have already done up my post on the Narcissus family I thought I would add the last of that group in that hadn’t bloomed until just a week or so ago. This bed is a mighty wreck and is due for it’s complete overhaul this summer after the … Continue reading
Help, Help the Weeds Have My Hand! They’re Pulling Me Down Into….
I know, long title. Is there a rule on title length? Somehow I just know Bethel is shaking her head again, as if my poor spelling isn’t bad enough. My title might not be short but I have grown a little short on time. So I’ll leave you with a few of my pictures and … Continue reading
