I bought a flat of baby asparagus plants, you know, grown from seed (not a special variety called 'baby'). I want to integrate them into the existing bed in holes left by plants that died out. How deep do you think I should plant them, or how? I was thinking of digging a fairly deep hole and...

I just unpacked my Richter's order. I love their packaging, they do such a good job. I bought all sorts of basils: African Blue African Spice Lesbos Thai Lots of Sage: Honey Melon Pineapple Peruvian (this is my favorite) White Two miniature curryplants (love the smell) Vietnamese...

I love this little garden, it came out really nice this year: Here it is today, from another angle: My 'lawn' back there consists of old grass, dandelions and ever other weed imaginable, but the gardens are under control ;)

I went out to weed a bit in front of my tree peonies, this rain is really bringing them out (the weeds, that is). You can see the weeds at the base of this unopened yellow (it's going to be gorgeous when it opens, it's got lots of blooms this season!): This is the pink one, it's getting...

I just realized we don't have this thread here, the way we do in the other forums - that's not good! :) Post your photos here so we can see who we're chatting with! I'll start with mine - hubby and I a few years ago down in Tennessee:

My mother and I went to The Annual Gathering of the Northeast District, Herb Society of America, August 7-9, 2009 at Cornell University. It was a wonderful trip, the gardens at Cornell are amazing. The highlight of the gardens, at least for us, is the Robison York State Herb Garden. I've...

My onions have bent over, about a week ago, so I pulled them this morning, washed off the roots, and they're laying out on the lawn drying off a bit before I actually dry them for storage. I grew Copra storing onions, got them from Johnny's. I have to say, they're strong growers and there's...

I have to share with you guys the wonderful thing that happened to me today. I had a visit from Natalie and her husband. Natalie knew I was down and couldn't do anything in my garden, so she packed her tools up and came to help me - and boy oh boy did she ever. She weeded my new herb garden...

I got home last Saturday from a week in the hospital. My sister forced me to go the previous Saturday and thank goodness she did. Not that my husband wasn't paying attention, but I'm really good at telling him what I'm going to do - he knew I was sick but was getting nowhere with me, poor guy...

Three of us went to the Newport Flower Show this morning. Newport, RI is gorgeous, I've been through the mansions before, the show was at Rosecliff, a lovely setting right on the ocean. The show was ok - I won't bother again. It was great if you were into floral arrangements, I'm not...

I baked you a cake - hope your birthday is wonderful! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The Mother decided to plant lots of foxgloves in my yard last year. Hubby usually mows along this strip, but I saw them and told him to hold off. This morning we left early, about 6:15 am, to go to the beekeeping field day out in South Deerfield, it was very misty/foggy, and I thought the...

This year I'm trying something new. I planted potatoes in our garden up in Maine. We don't use that garden, because there are too many deer, but I found out they don't eat potatoes! So, we're giving it a shot. If it works out I'll be a Maine Potato Farmer every year, I love fresh, homegrown...

I got home at about 2 today, it was spitting a bit, but I had lots to do out there. I planted out some annuals, but before I could do that, I had to clear away crocus foliage, weed a bit, sprinkle a bit of fertilizer and then I could plant. Allyssum and snapdragons went in in a few places...

My mother has a rose (lovely thing, don't know the name) that grows in the crack between the driveway and the granite steps to her side door. There is no way to get a shovel, or even a thin trowel, in there. I really want a piece of this rose, but I've never had good success with cuttings -...

I wish someone would come and stand behind me and catch all the stuff I'm tossing out. I've got a woodland wildflower garden that's no longer woodland - I want it for roses and herbs now. There is just so much in there - but it's got to go. I'm moving a few things, primroses, hepaticas...
