How much time do you spend a week on average in your garden?
Every moment possible, working and relaxing.
June 2009
We have our garden in finally. I have a few empty places so I will be filling in as the season progresses. Sure will be nice to have a few plantings spaced 2 weeks apart. Lots of new flowers this year too. I have been taking photos and posting them. Where is all the rain they are promising?
Hi Pat,
If you ever get down to the Plymouth Farmer's Market, pls. let me know and I'll meet you there...then you can follow me to my garden and see for yourself...(I don't want to give out my address on the internet.--you know what I mean) Would love to have you stop by--coffee or tea on the deck...almost anytime. Oh and by the way, Northville has a great Farmer's Market on Thursday in downtown Northville.

Crazy rainstorm last night, ripped down half the ivy on the wall. Had to cut it down, so I figured what the heck I'll collect snails in my garden. Armed with chopsticks (they make it way easy to gather up tiny guys under plants if you are profficent…
Sheryl, that shouldn't be a problem, I have a seed feeder in close proximity and the humming birds seem happy enough to share. They just seem to perch on the tiny twigs where the big guys cant get to. Chech the surronding territory, perhaps someone…
What housework-What cooking-I am delegating so that I can go out in my gardens.Besides my gardens I am on my computer watching the lovely new photos come up on "latest activity" HELP I am soo hooked. Don't want to change. Don't want to give it up ei…
Thanks! Isn't it funny I was plotting today hopw to get rid of them entirely? (Because they get a little weedy.) I'll leave them up, because I like them too.
