As an eager new gardener, I try to reign in my enthusiasm for the ideas and things I'd like to do in my yard. I remember the first spring and summer I spent in my house, I spent it in awe watching . . .

We planted late this year, but our tomatoes, basil, and some right-now-unnamed annuals are doing well. The birch tree is happy (but could be happier...the apple trees are bogarting some sun) and the grapes . . .

I actually do know the identity of this "mystery plant", but thought it would be fun to challenge the other gardeners on Gather. I've attached two pre-bloom photos for your viewing pleasure, . . .

I had the day off work due to rain so I got to grab my camera and head to my friend Lori's house. She has gorgeous gardens with a small pond. It seemed that all the flowers were wide open . . .

Unfortunately obsessively checking the weather this spring doesn't change the forecast. Which is a shame, because nothing would make me happier than pulling out the firewood rack and putting down . . .

It seems to be the season where gardeners receive those beautiful (or cheap) catalogs that promise big yields of healthy plants...Oh, they hit us when we're weak with lack of light and while we're . . .

Like many people I am busy. I'd like to devote more time to gardening but gee, there's just too much fun stuff to do! I've decided I should write a book or something called a 15 minute . . .

Things in the herb garden are going swimmingly. That's a figure of speech of course because there hasn't been much water in the Twin Cities other than from my garden hose. I've been using . . .

Most Twin Cities metro residents are still frost free but I'm wondering about all gardens after this crazy growing season, which seemed to swing from one extreme to another.

How can I avoid killing our live Christmas tree? Although I'd like to say it followed me home, I actually bought a small one (it doesn't reach my knee!) in a pot on purpose. Right now it wears . . .

Just felt like sharing a few macro shots that caught my eye today. It was great to be off work early and run around my yard barefoot with an umbrella and my camera.
