Stopping by the woods on a sunny morning

Renee — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 14:10:58 +0000

Whose woods these are? I think I know! Mine! My yard is an overgrown maze of weeds, vines, leaves and plants that look like they’ve barely survived a nuclear winter. After neglecting it for so long as well as dealing with the overabundance of rainfall last September and a recent knee surgery, [...]

So sad the song…………..

Aerial Photo of Douglasville, GA courtesy Telegraph.co.uk This past Fall was a particularly trying time for me and some of my neighbors. In September 2009, certain areas of Georgia were flooded out where there were no official flood zones. We were graced with torrential rainfall that is only seen once a century. [...]

10 things you need to be doing in your garden right now

Renee — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 02:38:28 +0000

I’m not a big fan of cold weather. For obvious reasons, no one aspires to become the human equivalent of a popsicle, so having to withstand constant wind shears is no one’s idea of having a good time. However, for me, the worst thing about this time of year is watching your garden [...]

My Favorite Place in the World

Renee — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 02:21:30 +0000

Imagine the possibilities…..

It has been raining non-stop for the past two days and intermittently for the past week. This is typical weather for an autumn day in the south. It’s a blessed relief from the harsh humid weather that we have to contend with from April until November, so the raindrops may be inconvenient at times, it’s [...]

June is busting out all over!!!!!

Renee — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 19:52:38 +0000

The scorching hot days of summer have finally arrived! I really haven’t gotten as much done as I would have liked by this time of the year, but what can you do? At this point, I still have to mulch a rather large bed, plant a 3 gallon hydrangea and a few perennials, finish pressure [...]
