I feel like I’m showing yall the same old things over and over again. But looking back through my posts, I have tried to have some variety in the things I share. I guess because I’m taking multiple pictures of the same flowers in my yard, I think I’m being repetitive. I just don't want … Continue reading Six On Saturday: November Blooms
In the garden this week, I had a couple of surprises. Late autumn continues to slow the growth of many plants, which isn't a bad thing. Although the grass doesn't need mowing now, brown leaves are falling across the lawn every. single. day. But they will do that until March. My first surprise is discovering … Continue reading Six On Saturday: Quick Six November 5th

I'm taking a little detour from the usual Saturday flowers to show other garden occupants. My walks and my working reveal these critters with whom I must coexist. All of them are relatively harmless, and I prefer to leave them alone unless I need to occupy the same space as they do. I'll spare you … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY: All Critters Great and Small
As we ease into autumn, not much is happening in the garden right now. I’ve been recovering from Covid, so I haven’t spent much time tending to things out there. I’m regaining my strength and know I have a lot to tackle, but I’m just not ready yet. Summer flowers are fading, but I’ve seen … Continue reading Six on Saturday 9/3/2022
