Parkdale Horticultural Society Plant Sale 2005

Another May, another act of gluttony at the Parkdale Horticultural Society plant sale. Okay perhaps there was slightly less gluttony on my part this year -- arriving late always helps since the good stuff goes in a matter of minutes. But I just can't help myself

April!

This month will go down as the wackiest April in recent memory. We had some unseasonably warm days followed by a handful of cold, grey, wet days. Yesterday was sunny one minute, and literally hailing ice pellets the next! Thankfully I did manage to set

The New Plot

Time to get cracking.

Here it is, almost May in zone 8, and I haven't even bought my new plants! I'll spare you all the long and drawn out details, but with all the "life" going on in my life lately, I haven't had the chance UNTIL now to really get cracking on

Spring Pinhole Photo

Spring really, truly is finally here and I've been taking every opportunity to capture it on film. This photo of a crocus cluster was taken in my garden using a homemade pinhole camera I constructed from a broken camera and a pie tin. Check out
