Scattered Clouds 12°C / 54°FThough I’ve chafed against the gardening restrictions of the rain it really has been beneficial for the ground to have a penetrating soak – just as long as it realizes when enough is enough! 1) I’m very fond of this early blooming hardy geranium, bees appreciate it too. 2) ̵...

Working late is bad for my health. Not because I ended up going to bed at 3 am almost every day but because I get the munchies. And munchies at 3am means fast food. Too lazy to cook, yanno? But! The munchies gives me the time (after consumption) to toddle about the house and poke at the little gr...Clear 15°C / 59°F -

Partly Cloudy 6°C / 43°F“Go to your fields and your gardens and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower, but it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee.

Houseplant garden , Eastern Companion-Planted Vegetable garden , Onion 'White Welsh' , Onion 'Ailsa Craig' ...Light Snow -11°C / 12°FWell, apparently Wiarton Willie and Punxsutawney Phil both agree that spring is just around the corner*. Realistically, winter lasts until about the end of March or early April here. Then we have about five or six weeks of spring, and then we tend to jump right into summer. Lately summer means dr...

I first noticed a section of my lilacs bushes coming to life on October 3, 2012. I think they were there for a few days before I noticed them cuz flowers were open. These bushes have always blossomed from somewhere around mothers day and May 24 for a period of a week or two. I still can’t b...Sunny -16°C / 4°F -

Clear 12°C / 54°F…the unknown clematis has a few blooms left – it was slow to get going this year and has not had many flowers at all. Maybe all the rain washed out nutrients or it just needed more sun (don’t all we UK Folians!) Each time I think I’ll clear the big blue planter the antirr...

Windy 16°C / 61°FPlease – no wind on bloom days! So difficult to catch them when they are still, in fact none were photographable today. Good job I took some yesterday when it was calmer and sunny. Mixed border 2 is beginning to show results of all the digging and cleaning, though some of the from-seed p...
