Well, the yard at one point in time had a spigot in the back yard, which is great because the veg garden is waaaaaaay in the back. But it was in such poor shape it wasn’t worth saving.
As such I set about digging a trench and laying down pipe. I was lucky enough to have the pipe on hand, you see, it was at one time what supported the grapes. Not the best thing and I’d already replaced that with wire.
So. My plan for this whole thing is a semi permanent system in which there ...

My main idea all along has been to do a row of Elderberries. To be p...

Wild blueberries are abundant although due to urban sprawl many blueberry picking areas are disappearing and the ones that remain are being harvested more densely but even so we still have a bountiful supply of these extremely tasty little berries.

After Mike’s posting re: common birds seen and then XO posted her photos, it brought to mind this photo that I took last summer. So, I thought I’d post a picture of our LEAST common visitor.

Hi Friends. I’ve been offline for a while now as I was super busy in February with garden show engagements followed by a nice visit with family in Virginia. I’ve written a bit about the garden shows as well as garden observations and experiences over these past weeks at gardenhelp.org. Please drop by to learn more. I hope to add info on building a waterfeature last week…more to come!
