Honey Suckle Bush

Thank you to the bird or rabbit that ate some honey suckle berries and then came to Maddie’s garden! We have had this bush/tree for a few years now and I am going to attempt to train it into a topiary shape this year! The first year it was going to be a tree = […]

Flower Bed Extension

So, as many of you have heard I tore out a large juniper bush and one other small bush in front of my house to extend my flower bed last season. There is rock packed with mud in this area as the previous owners had a rock bed with evergreen bushes before. (Which I despise!!!!!) […]

Chives Out of Control

Hi everyone, I figured this needs it’s own post so that people can search for it. 🙂 I have a chive plant (perennial) that I have had for about 4 years now. I love chives in dips and potatoes, but in a flower garden I am reconsidering my choice! Chives can send out runners and […]

Beetle Problem Last Year

So last year I had a small (kind of) infestation of those metalic/green/copper beetles. I think the soil that my roses came in was harboring some larvae. I am thinking they may be back if there were enough eggs in the soil that over-wintered. If they do come back I am going to just pick […]

Greenhouse Plans

So after a fun talk with one of my good friends I have a new plan for the “greenhouse.” My vegetable garden is up against my garage and has a Victorian fence around it.  So my new plan is to put up plastic awning and curtains that can be rolled back, or rolled down! Picture […]

Weekend Yard and Garden Work

I got the majority of my outdoor weeding done yesterday! The vegetable garden was full of thistles and other odd looking plants I didn’t want in there. I also found a whole patch of volunteer tomatoes! They will need thinning so now I have a serious amount of tomato plants! The two strawberry plants are […]

“Early Spring”

Here in Minnesota it is very apparent to all of us natives that it is most definitely SPRING! However, we have gotten snow at this time of year still. In fact, if it doesn’t snow before May1st it will be the first time in 120 years that we did not see a trace of the […]
