Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – April 2009

Nancy J. Ondra — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 08:11:05 +0000

Yikes, it’s time for Bloom Day already, and I’ve hardly begun tidying up for spring. There are plenty of areas that probably would look stunning, if only I’d had the time to spruce them up a bit. Unlike the shoemaker’s children with their dearth of footwear, the gardener’s own garden has plenty of plants, but [...]

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: Clatter Valley

Steve Silk — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 01:28:18 +0000

The ideas of March means many different things. Even in my yard, which is the last place the snow melts for miles around. Just lucky I guess. One thing that means is that we have an abundance of microclimates, since some places warm up about the same time as the rest of town, and some places [...]

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day-February 2009

Fran Sorin — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 12:23:24 +0000

February would usually prove to be a difficult month for me to show anything in bloom except for a few house plants. But being in Israel for the winter, I’m surrounded by blooms. January and February normally have temperatures in the 30s-50s range. But this winter, the average temperature has been in the mid-60s, with the result being that some [...]

Garden Bloggers Bloom Day for January 2009

Fran Sorin — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 13:49:32 +0000

What took my breath away this month are the cut flowers and fresh veggies (some organic) sold in markets, road side stalls and garden centers throughout Israel. Here’s a glance of what I saw yesterday at a market. And just to make you salivate a bit, I’ll translate the prices for you into dollars! Gerbera daisies priced at 19 [...]

Seeing a photo

Saxon Holt — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 00:18:56 +0000

No matter what kind of garden you have or what kind of camera you work with, the single most important thing to remember when you take the picture is to ask yourself why you are taking it. What do you see ? I have given several presentations recently about taking pictures in the garden and [...]

Flowers and Foliage

Barbara Ellis — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 23:03:28 +0000

Like most gardeners, I spend far too little time simply enjoying my garden and the natural world around it. I’ve followed both Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day, hosted by May Dreams Gardens, for months now, and have also enjoyed all the fall foliage on the Garden Blogger Fall Foliage Project at The Home Garden. With today’s [...]

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: Clatter Valley

Steve Silk — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 15:17:47 +0000

October fairly well wraps up the season in my garden, but it goes out with a bang! We haven’t had a frost yet–which is odd (but I’m not complaining)-so things are looking mighty festive. Most of what’s happening is thanks to my annuals and tenders, along with a few perennials. Here’s a sampler. Above, we’ve got [...]

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – September 2008

Nancy J. Ondra — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 08:30:03 +0000

I’d thought to start this post with some grumblings about the weather, but compared to what many parts of the U.S. have been facing, we’ve been getting off fairly easily here in southeastern Pennsylvania. So without further chatter, here are some Bloom Day highlights from my own garden, as well as from the plantings I help to care [...]

Bloom Day: A Sampler

Steve Silk — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 16:02:52 +0000

Late spring became blazing summer this past week, and temps in the 90s, coupled with a dearth of rain, put an early end to much of the mid-June bloom. But the show goes on, here’s a sampler: There’s a kind of faded glory to the going-by blooms of Ageratum ‘Blue Horizon’ that makes them hard [...]
