DIY Project ~ Welcome Spring! Time to change the window boxes!
After a surprise snow early in the week, it is suddenly spring. The trees are showing halos of green and red as buds prepare to unfurl and birdsong wakes me in the morning. Time to change out the front window boxes with the earliest spring blooms: bulbs. Gathered on the porch for protection for
Spring Snow ~ March 25th! The Groundhog lied!
Here it is March 25th and snowing to beat the band outside! That groundhog lied his head off! But, it is pretty, so I grabbed my camera and went out to capture a few shots of this year’s last snowfall (I hope!) I must admit that the snow makes a lovely backdrop, even
A Trip Down Memory Lane ~ My Former Garden
Today I’m taking you with me on a trip down memory lane to my former garden. Our brick split-level sat on a seventy-five by one hundred foot lot in a development established in the 1950s and looked pretty much like all the other homes around us. Over the course of thirteen years, using landscaping
Spring is Just Around the Corner ~ Start Planning!
Spring is still a little over a month away but it is not too soon to start planning this year’s garden. If you are like me, you head off to a nursery, fall in love with some wonderful plants, bring them home and then have to figure out where they should go in
The DCH Workshop ~ Pushing Spring: Early Planting for the Impatient Gardener (with Alice & George Davis)
Since we all have the heebie-jeebies for spring around February, the Delaware Center for Horticulture recently held a seed-starting workshop to offer some relief.

January ~ Winter Garden
January and winter has set in with temperatures in the teens and flurries of snow here in Delaware. Take a walk with me through the fresh snow and see how the everyday is transformed into the extraordinary. Snow, the icing on the cake!
Heart & Home ~ Valentine’s Day is Coming!
Mid- winter now and, besides a couple brief snows, the garden is quiet. Time to look to a wonderful winter blooming shrub: Mahonia Japonica, for adding a bit of color to the landscape and outside decor. Since Valentine’s Day is in a month, I decided to change up a few outdoor displays today. Out came
DIY Project ~ Turn a Rake Head into a Bird Buffet!
Besides the three regular bird feeders I keep filled year-round, I decided to prepare a bird buffet feeding station. So, out to the garden shed I went to root around until I came up with an idea. And, there it was, a rake head with lots of prongs to hold bird goodies galore. Into
Winter Wonderland ~ It Finally Snowed!
This morning we awoke to fat, fluffy snowflakes cascading down, and I was thrilled to see them! I just love the way that soft white blanket transforms our landscape. Although this first snow didn’t amount to much, just a couple of inches, I threw on my boots and winter woolies and did a
