  • Trench planted tomato plants with slow watering upcycled milk jugs.

Trench Planting Tomatoes

This is the first year that I'm planting my tomatoes in a trench rather than vertically. I have read that this method will allow the root system have more area to grow. I also upcycled a few milk jugs as a way to get the water to the roots without having to go through the soil. The milk jugs were cleaned and have small holes poked through to let the water go directly to the roots. These tomato plants are two Early Girls and a Celebrity. I can't wait to see what they yield! I also ...»
planted a little basil around them because basil makes the tomatoes taste better.

May Garden ~ Historic Goodstay Gardens

On a recent balmy spring evening, the Arden Garden Gild visited the grounds of the Goodstay Gardens on Pennsylvania Avenue in Wilmington, Delaware. At the height of its spring bloom, the ...»
collection of six enclosed gardens was a sight to behold. Breathtaking peonies planted in long flowerbeds filled the air with a lovely scent. Roses, iris, columbines, rhododendrons and many other lovely blooms filled the garden with color, accompanied by bird song as dusk approached.

Dating back to the late 1600′s, this colonial garden has undergone several restorations and improvements: in the 1920′s by Ellen Coleman duPont Meeds and Robert Wheelwright and, for the past twenty years, by the Friends of Goodstay Gardens group.

Goodstay Gardens is an oasis in the city, a trip to the country through a stone gate entry. Here is a small sampling of the beauty contained within. I hope it inspires a trip of your own to discover this garden gem.

    Thanks Shelly Troup :) ...»
    Lithodora needs full sun to bloom its best. You can see more specifics on Lithodora's requirements - which aren't many, thankfully! - in my original blog post here, if you're interested in further info: http://petscribbles.blogspot.com/2012/04/lit...

  • I think it should be law that every home has a front porch. Alongside tall pillars and flowers, there's no more welcome sight!
  • Quirky details make the grade here. LOVE the sign!
  • Why don't they make covered bridges any longer? So beautiful!  I wonder if there's an actual reason this use to be done?
  • These fences are built with no tools nor holes. They are scattered around Gettysburg and were used in the battlefields so the farmers could move them around. I ADORE this look and hope to emulate it somehow. Maybe around the garden...
  • Loving this grouping of trees in pots... who says a patio can't be lush and amazing?
  • An old train station wears cheerful, complimentary colours in Gettysburg. Note flowers aren't even missed when the building takes centre stage? It's beautiful!

It's A Peony Parade

I love this time of year when the peonies are blooming, the sun is shining and everything is right with the world. OK, these plants really, really put me in a good mood! ...»

I have three of them so far and am going to pick up one or two more this weekend. The ONLY downfall to these plants is that the blooms get so stinking big that they tend to fall over, but I have peony rings around them to keep them as upright as possible.
