My previous blog, interviewing Bonnie regarding her raised bed gardens, has received so much positive feedback that I asked Bonnie if she’d be interested in writing a guest blog. She was more than happy to, and below you will find a little more information about just went through her mind when she was deciding which [...]

A short while ago I did a blog on raised bed gardening. One of my readers (who happens to also be a friend) read the blog and told me I just HAD to talk to her mother-in-law! After making our connections, I learned that Bonnie (said gardener) has an amazing raised bed garden. After seeing [...] I happened upon this article, and just thought it was such a cool and innovative idea, I wanted to share it with my readers! Many times we’re faced with conditions that don’t really allow us to grow the way we’d like to–whether it be not enough sun, too many pests (including animals), lack of space, [...] Hello and welcome to my Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day post! Posting about your blooms on the 15th of the month has become a tradition originally started by Carol at May Dreams Gardens. It is a way for all of us gardeners to share with each other (and anyone else who may be reading our blogs) [...] Community gardening is beginning to gain a lot of traction lately–especially in urban areas where there is not a lot of space for people to have their own gardens. By coming together as a group to garden, people are learning to work together by sharing the workload associated with a garden, swapping ideas and information, [...] When I was in college, my mother gave me what I thought was a very odd Christmas present one year–a pot of dirt covered with a towel. I’ve never been very good at pretending I like presents I really don’t like, and I have to admit, my initial reaction was less than enthusiastic. It was [...] I’m sure you’ve all heard it; gardening is expensive. From the soil, to the tools, seeds/plants, fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides, to the time spent (time is money, right?)…the list goes on and on. And the truth of the matter is, gardening CAN be very expensive–if you don’t do it right. Many new gardeners fall into the [...] The other day I was speaking with my fellow blog-writer, Katie. We were fondly remembering the days when we each first started gardening. Where did it all begin? What was our first vegetable we grew that just got us “hooked” on gardening? For me, it was [...] Knowledge is power–I think we all agree on this, right? Power, however, may not necessarily be the right word to use when it comes to organic gardening. How about “mastery?” Yes, I think in the case of organic gardening, knowledge is mastery. The ability to master you gardening skills is key. The Internet is a great [...] In today’s day and age, reading actual paper books seems to be becoming a thing of the past. Much information is available on the Internet–it certainly is an endless library of knowledge. Call me old fashioned, but I still love to read a good book. I love to write notes in the margins, I love to [...] |
