Folks, it has not rained here in I can not remember when. But it has now rained for the second time this week! I just had to celebrate! I sent Cindy outside for some rain pics. It is easy to see why she should always take the pictures… Of course she could not resist [read more...] 
So, what should I put in all those beds I ripped the weeds out of? Pansies of course! Got some great deals on them today at the local grower’s outlet. They had Plentifall 10″ baskets for $5! These were all the rage in Southern Living last year and were hard to find. We got [read more...] 
Over the past year while dealing with Cindy’s condition, the gardens have been rightfully and woefully neglected. All the vegetable and flower beds were overrun with weeds. I tried from time to time to knock them down, but just could not stay ahead of it. I spent a good amount of time this weekend [read more...] 
Hello all! Long time no talk! Apologies for that. As some of you may know, Cindy was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2010, so our world has been turned upside down for a while, and thus the long hiatus from posting. For more on Cindy, you can visit her CarePage at: http://www.carepages.com/carepages/CindyJsCarePage She [read more...] 
The satsumas are ripe! Time to pick them, and we did. Well, we put Ian up to gathering them. Yes, in the rain. But it had to be done! They are very good, especially for Jefferson, GA satsumas. The skins fall right off, and the fruit is sweet. Who could ask for more. Nice [read more...] 
The fall garden is rocking right along! We have spinach, kale, two kinds of swiss chard, turnip greens, mustard greens, cucumbers, radishes, all kinds of peppers, and okra all coming in it seems faster than we can pick it. Brocolli, green onions, sugar snap and english peas, cauliflower, kohlrabi, and brussel sprouts are all [read more...] 
Excellent shot of a Black-Eyed Susan Vine blossom growing on the new trellis/arbor/entryway we made for the vegetable garden (more details to come on that project). Love the vine, but boy does it love water. It will wilt so bad in a day you will think it is dead. But a big shot of [read more...] 
We have been trying to grow night-blooming moonflowers for about three years now. And finally, success! Rumor has it you can actually video tape them opening. We are going to try… And the beautiful southern sky under which the pictures were taken. Very cool you can [read more...] 
Side planters seem to be all the rage this season, and it is no different at PPG. We have assembled six of them so far, and another four are to be done in the back. There are kits out there for these, but they can be built yourself much cheaper. The kits [read more...] 
Planted this Black Gamecock Iris in the water garden last year, it never bloomed. But this week… Cheers, David J. |
