Garden Goodness

If your a a local garden friend….
I will be speaking at our local library on Monday, May 12th at 7 PM.
I am not an expert gardener or speaker, but I can always chat about gardening!
I hope to share a bit about how we built our little greenhouse, my gardening style, and talk about the process of the Country Gardens magazine photo shoot.

The Other Greenhouse

The Other Greenhouse

We found this cute little greenhouse, at the end of season sale, from a local home improvement store.
It is such a cute little greenhouse!
It does a wonderful job, also nurturing my plants.
In fact, I use it to harden off plants from the larger greenhouse.
The rest of the season it is used for holding empty pots and gardening supplies.

This year I would like to give it a more permanent home in the garden and began planting around it.

And the list goes on…..

 

I don’t know?

I was recently asked “How big is your garden”?
It sits on the North side of our home, meandering East to West.
It really is just about the right size!
A place to start and nurture my plants, a kitchen garden, Rabbit Run Cottage, and a few places to sit and relax.
Even when we lived in little apartments early in our married life, I gardened in little pots…that was the perfect size too!
Yes, you heard it here–size doesn’t matter!

How pretty the Hollyhocks looked tucked up along the side of the greenhouse last Summer.
The large clay pot is temporary to hold water, until I find a vintage treasure suitable to use as a rain barrel.
Not only are the plants always changing, the structures of the garden are always evolving also.
