    crazy weather and lack of time

    vitis rotundifolia (muscadine grape) Blooming, kale red russian Flowering, dandelion Blooming, common daisy...
    … and the vegetable garden is still in a pitiful condition. The garlic sowed in November is growing (but I couldn’t plant anymore due to the continual winter snowfalls). At the beginning of May I have planted, in a muddy soil, some onion sets, some carrots and a few sugar peas, but a part of the...

    Started a new job 1.5 weeks ago (intense but cool) and am studying for comprehensive oral exams for next week and am trying to keep up in the garden. I’m doing pretty well with all of those things. My folia record-keeping and journal-reading is suffering, though… But it’s bloo...

    Happy Hatch Day!

    To my sweet baby girl, Halo; she’s 4 today and coincidentally enough the cardinal eggs hatched last night. The ‘Cardinal in the camellia’ is now mama to 3 cutie babies. I am so excited to see them grow up so close to the house, the camellia is just right off the front porch! I ...

    Setting up some herbal infusions

    Viola odorata - Wild Violets Preserved, Plantago major - Broad-leaf Plantain Preserved, Symphytum officinal...
    Preparations for making another batch of herbal balm. I am using Grape Seed oil this time, instead of Olive Oil. Since it’s too early for Calendula flowers, I thought i would try Wild Violet leaves. With some research, I’ve found that Violet leaf is a soother of inflamed skin and can ...

    Garden goodies

    This is the time of year I cherish in the garden. Although it is becoming quite warm (in the triple digits) during the day, it still pretty pleasant in the mornings— and that’s when I have been spending most of my time harvesting and tending plants. We’ve been harvesting lots o...

    If you live in the Pacific Northwest, and your garden isn’t beautiful enough in May, then you havent planted enough rhodies. Not a problem for most seattleites, judging by my walk to work.

    at the side of the road

    Native garden , sedum dasyphyllum (thick-leaf stonecrop) Growing, common daisy Blooming, stinging nettle (...
    I’m on foot, without my old car for a few days, and no taxidriver has the guts to face this uneven, full of holes, country road. So, walking from the hamlet toward my house (and vice versa) I can observe weeds and wild flowers growing along the side. The weather is still rainy. 1) ferns a...

    Bloom Day - Strawberries are Flowering

    Fragaria x ananassa - Strawberry 'Berri Basket' Flowering, Fragaria x ananassa - Strawberry - "Sequoia" Flo...
    I was surprised to see the flowers on the Strawberries so soon, especially since we have had such lingering cold weather this spring. There has been a frost warning for the past few nights, and though I haven’t actually had any frost, the temperature was only 32*F this morning when I got up...
