Month: February 2023

Today we’re in Canton, Massachusetts, visiting with Jana Trusz. Looking back at my garden during 2022, I have many lessons to learn. The drought was incredibly difficult and made me reevaluate what was in my garden, what survived and what didn’t, and how I will move forward. First, I will be installing a drip-irrigation system

Today’s photos are from Hugh Locke. As cell-phone cameras have gotten better, I have been using mine to capture close-up images of the flowers in my garden in Westchester, New York (Zone 6b).

If a vibrant, sizzling garden color is what you’re looking for, this design is made to order.

Today we’re visiting with Mary Maud Huber. Fourteen years ago when we moved to Fairfield Bay in north-central Arkansas, I wanted a plot in the Community Garden. The town is lushly forested in the Ozarks, and shade is a challenge for any kind of gardening, especially sun-loving vegetables. I really wanted to use sustainable organic

Sallie Boge is sharing her garden with us today. We garden in Riverside, a nearby suburb of Chicago (Zone 5a–6b). In April 2020 we constructed two new 11×16 garden beds in order to reduce our Kentucky bluegrass lawn and to add more plants for beneficial pollinators.  My husband, Mark, used a straight-edge spade to cut

Last year we moved in this old house. It has a huge garden, but we wanted a vegetable garden. Without any experience or knowledge about it we just started, worked out pretty great. Sure the carrots weren’t as straight as normal and the lettuce got way to big but it was a fun ride. www.liekeland.nl
