Checklist for Easy Fall Garden Clean Up

November 2, 2011 by Jeanne

I just wrote this article today on Fall Garden Clean Up, providing readers with a checklist of 10 points to cover when they’re cleaning up around the garden and preparing the garden for the winter. I’ll a little behind this year on my own gardening tasks – we’re still weeding, pruning and mulching the fruit orchard trees and planting our annual 300+ daffodils out there. I’ve started pulling up dead vegetable and annual flowers, and trimming back some of the perennials, but I have a feeling I’m going to be out there working until it snows!

The Folk Art Weather House

I’ve loved this little folk art weather house all my life. It still makes me smile. What gardener doesn’t need to know the weather? I grew up with many German relatives. Thank-you notes were written to “Oncle Ludwig” and “Tante Marie.” During visits to their homes, I was fascinated by the little folk art German…

Growing vs. Wild Foraging Medicinal Herbs: My Perspective

Growing vs. wild foraging medicinal herbs is a real concern among newbie herbalists. The other day, I shared pictures of my herb seedlings (mallow, parsley, and savory) on Facebook.
