I’ve been gone all week in DC, so coming home to a serious day of gardening was just what the doctor ordered, and the weather cooperated nicely. There wasn’t really much blue sky, but it was warm and it wasn’t raining, and I’ll take that after the cold and wet fall we’ve been having

Well, there’s no getting around it. It stuck. I woke up this morning hoping the snow had turned to rain overnight, and instead I saw two inches on the ground and the snow was still coming. It’s pretty, I admit, but I’m not ready. I need more fall, please. I like fall. To outline the

We went to the grand opening of a Home Depot in Keene last night. Their nursery isn’t great, but we did get some good deals. We were a bit disappointed in how many zone six and seven plants we saw. Keene might be zone 5, but most of the hill towns around Keene are

Of course, because that’s the way things work in our world, Frank had been fiddling with the irrigation before

One of the species tulips is opened up today. It’s yellow and white, and so cute! These are the ones, unfortunately, that the mice at most of, though, so there aren’t that many plants.

The chives right next to the pergola are in full bloom today. They’ve reseeded themselves and are very happy all over my garden, actually. Oops! Frank’s been playing with the camera, and I loved the shot of the chives with the bee so much it’s now the background wallpaper on my computer, plus I printed
