For many years, I set a goal of finishing most of my Spring/Summer gardening by July 4th. After that date, the weather becomes too intense to complete much work. Between the heat and the mosquitos, I try to stay indoors until late autumn brings more pleasant conditions. I got a late start on spring work … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY: Six Areas of My Garden
I’m sitting here, looking at my calendar for the month of April and realize why I’m tired. I thought March was busy, but April’s activities were a very different sort. This is not a Six on Saturday blog today, but I’m throwing in some garden pictures with paragraphs that have nothing to do with the … Continue reading April 30, 2024: Where Did the Month Go?

It had some good Rodgers and Hammerstein tunes but a terrible storyline and unsympathetic characters. It just goes to show that you shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. I worked in the garden several … Continue reading Six On Saturday: “June is Bustin’ Out All Over.”
We've had plenty of rain in our part of the USA this summer. Now hurricane season adds more moisture to the soil - but I'm not complaining. It's better than dealing with drought, unless we get hit by a big one, as Louisiana has suffered recently. Keep them in your prayers and help if you're … Continue reading Six On Saturday: Soggy Summer
