High Summer
It is high summer in the garden right now. July is the dry month in RI and the sprinklers are going, the sun is shining and it is a hot 80F at 8:00 AM. Gardening is regional and even within a small state such as RI the coastal gardens move along a bit differently than those in the high (a rela...

Sweet Peas On My Mind
The fragrance of sweet peas, as distinct a fragrance as that of Lily of the Valley or Viola odorata, wafts in and out of my January garden dreams. In New England, it is the dreams of the next season's garden which keep the mind active while the gardener's hands are somewhat idle. The only ex...

The New Patio As the garden unfolds, slowly this season but with a bit more attention from this quarantined gardener of a certain age, I am thinking of all of those who embrace gardening and all those who have not realized just how gratifying and calming in can be to garden and then relax in ...
I will let you know when the garden is ready for you. Right now it is just barely emerging.

Kathy:
Maybe a video tour of one bed at a time. Like you said, it is challenging but, you could always put the sign out...visitors welcome.

The pictures in this post were taken last summer. Who knows what Mother Nature has in store for us this season. Every year is a bit different. I would so love to have you visit someday. We will garden together if in separate locations. As for getting caught up....there is always something to do in the garden.

A virtual tour is a good idea. I will see if The Equipment Manager is up to taking drone pictures once the gardens are in full growth. Thank you for commenting. Comments are so appreciated!

Holly: That would be wonderful. We may be off lockdown by the first of May so I could actually walk the garden with you. You are always welcome. I will put it on my calendar to email you when there is something of interest to see. Hugs.

Sigh....at least you have strolled the garden Gail. I look forward to strolling in yours someday. I guess we will resort to virtual tours this year.

Ah, the burn will happen in mid March before growth shows. I love the big blue stem although I don't have any in the garden. Today was very cold and the garden stayed quiet. Thank you for visiting and commenting. I look forward to catching up with you in June in Madison.

Twice a Year is Not Enough
After many years of blogging the blogger tends to repeat herself just as Mother Nature does in the garden. That said, each season is slightly different in the garden. More rain, less rain, more sun, less sun, lots of snow, a little snow, no snow. The winter of 2020 has been a winter of no snow...
It sure is.

We do need to be ready to 'garden another day'. I think I enjoy it more in shorter bouts which is as it should be.

Lisa, so true on sitting more as we get older...that is the wisdom of age! If you are ever in New England, we shall sit together on that patio if time allows.

I am working on resting more and enjoying the garden from a seat....you know how unused those garden seats can be.

It is coming along in spite of cold weather. Lots to do! You know it well.

Ahhh, you are a bit colder than I am but you will have veggies and viburnum soon. I love your new garden. How wonderful that you are embracing gardening still and on a more manageable scale. The offer of the white bleeding heart stands.

Oh I miss you so Cousin Mary Lou! I am about to stroll outside right now. The sun is out for a moment-it has been scarce lately. Hugs to you and yours.
