  • Let me introduce you to some of our new friends.

    I discovered my new gardening friend the other day while working in the yard; yesterday, I was able to sneak up and get a picture of him while hanging out laundry: And Pogle met this guy upon entering the house after work last night: He has since decided the TV is a much comfier home…

  • Decorative and functional?

    I’m hoping I have enough brick left over to do something like this to a corner of the front yard where pog and I are always cutting across: Just imagine that the brick is flush with the concrete. 😉 In my head I see getting a post light put in between the brick and the…

  • May I have some more, sir?

  • With silver bells, and cockle shells, And marigolds all in a row.

    Last year I tentatively bought a few plants at the local Lowes: the selection wasn’t very good but I knew where to find them, unlike a local gardening center. This year, I’m going for broke on my gardener status. I ordered seeds for our vegetable garden and for some flowering perennials/shrubs. This is my first…
