Disaster!
We've had some really lousy weather this last week, with a snowstorm dumping about 8" of snow this past weekend and, over the last 24 hours or so, a blizzard that dumped 16-18" of very heavy, wet snow that clung … Continue reading

And Then There Were None
I know that I haven't been keeping up. All I can say is that the strain of flu that's going around this year is rather nasty and it's taken me quite a while to get over it. ::sigh:: Since I … Continue reading
One To Go
Tropicana has bloomed (a photo is below), leaving only Garden Party yet to bloom this year. Its first bud has been mangled by some insect, so we will have to wait. Its growth seems to be OK so I suspect … Continue reading
Wins and Losses
The garden has been quite active. Unfortunately, not all of the activity has been good. Since I've been lazy, the dreaded black spot fungus has gotten hold on many of the roses. I've started my weekly sprayings with Immunox and … Continue reading

I’ve Been Lazy!
It's not fun to admit but it's true. I've been very lazy about keeping up the blog. Over the last months, since that wonderful first-day-of-spring snowstorm, the garden has come alive. The bulbs, what are left of them from the … Continue reading

If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries …
… why do I keep getting hit in the head by cherry pits? That's a rhetorical question, though I did get hit in the head by a cherry pit while walking under the cherry tree in the back yard (I … Continue reading
The Lily Patch
As it does every year as the roses start to fade from their first flush, the lily patch has erupted into colorful bloom. The daylily Double Cutie was first and now the daylily Leebea Orange Crush (shown below) has, as … Continue reading
