In A Summer Garden ~ Our Fairfield Home & Garden
August, the time of waking to early light and birdsong. Warm breezes enjoyed from a shady chair after garden-tending. The aroma of a barbeque on the grill wafts across the way. And fireflies and cicada choruses are signaling the end of the day. Now the sturdier summer plants that can take the heat and dry have their

June Garden ~ Our Fairfield Home & Garden
June is here and now the growing season is moving along nicely. No more fits and starts. The days are warm and plants are fairy bursting from the ground! I start each early morning with coffee on the front porch, surveying the garden, serenaded by birds. Yesterday, I caught sight

Bleeding Heart for Your Spring Garden
If you want a sturdy, deer-resistant perennial for your garden, consider Bleeding Hearts! Hardy in zones 3 to 9, these herbaceous clump-forming plants are a lovely addition to any light shade or woodland border garden. Often thought of as an old-fashioned cottage garden plant, there are now varieties of Bleeding Heart (Dicentra) that would

May Garden ~ Our Fairfield Home & Garden
April showers brought May flowers a little later this year. But now they are putting on their annual show, waking us all from the doldrums that set in over that long winter. Unfortunately, there was die-back in some of our hydrangeas and we lost all the butterfly bushes, a fig tree and a vitex. But

A Fire Pit Fairy Garden ~ Two Versions, Choose Your Favorite!
My dear friend recently asked if I wanted this rusted-out fire pit for a project of some sort. “Knowing you, you’ll make something cute out of it!” she said. And so I did. But, there was a slight problem. I had two ideas and couldn’t decide which one I liked better! My solution was to

Fresh Flower Basket for May Day or Mother’s Day!
Don’t spend money at the florist for May baskets or Mother’s Day. Gather your own beautiful blooms! Each year I keep on the lookout for new baskets on clearance or gently used from garage sales to make my floral arrangements. These pretty metal hearts I picked up for a song at a yard sale last

Signs of Spring at Our Fairfield Home & Garden
Signs of Spring are everywhere now. The winter was a long one and all the spring blooms are about two weeks behind, but they are here! Greening lawns, leaf buds on trees and shrubs and the constant bird activity and song tell me there’s no going back now. My biggest temptation, as usual, is to

DIY Project : Spring Windowbox Time!
At long last, Spring! Bird song heralds the day’s start. Crocus, snowdrops and tete a tete daffodils are blooming, seemingly overnight, after only a warm day or two. To celebrate the beginning of spring, I like to change out the winter windowboxes to early spring blooms. My secrets revealed, I don’t actually plant in soil!
