The Giant Zucchini Dilemma
When I left for an eight-day vacation recently, I asked my wonderful friend, who looks after my garden when I’m away, to help herself to any of the squash, zucchinis and tomatoes as they ripened. She was tickled to have the fresh produce

Garden Walk ~ My Summer Garden

An unbelievable eleven inches of rain fell in June here in Delaware, and the resulting plant growth is amazing. Everything is lush and large and begging to get its picture taken. Ever accommodating, I run out in the early morning or just at dusk and attempt to catch the flowers at their
Happy 4th of July ~ Patriotic Potting Sink
For our 1916 vintage potting sink, I decided the Fourth of July decorations should look aged as well. So I went for the tea stained look. At a local shop, Brickhouse Antiques, I found just what I was looking for: a Betsy Ross flag bunting , flags and banner! Their prices are so reasonable
