The Greenfield Garden Club Tour gave us surprises and beauties. Our first stop in Greenfield surprised us with an array of beautiful flowers. “From the early yellow narcissus of April to the last lavender-blue asters in November there is a lush tapestry of color, texture and shape.” This house was on a road above the house I lived in years ago, and it was a big surprise.

I came to visit my friend Susan who wanted to show me the Cecropias out in her gardens. As you look at this shelter you will see two Cecropia who are mating – right through the wire. (more…)
The storm and heavy rains have crushed many of the flowers in our garden, but fortunately Foxglove has been standing high and brave. (more…)
I finally paid attention to the dahlia roots that I had kept in a paper bag in the basement all winter. This was my first time of being familiar with dahlias. Now I am going to learn how to handle these roots. I was happy to find Flower-Tone at the Greenfield Farmer’s Coop. (more…)
This morning I walked through the garden to see what flowers I could bring to our friends, BJ and Dan. As I began I was a little alarmed but I walked. And I did find a few lovely things. I do like the tall viburnum with its lacy flower, and as I strolled I also found golden Geum, Bleeding Heart. primrose, and Icelandic poppy. There will be more. (more…)
Yesterday (Saturday) I arrived at the Second Congregational Church and saw all kinds of people, little children and much older people who were fascinated about honeybees, and the sweet honey treats at the annual Bee Fest. (more…)
Happy Garden Bloggers Bloom Day! The richness of the peony touches my heart. And more peonies will come along. It was a surprise to me, but I have learned that there are other types of peony.

There has been so much sun recently that I must show off the early flowers of gold. This is the Wood Poppy that sits on our Hugle where it shows off its gold. I will talk about the use of a Hugle very soon. (more…)
The sad days have arrived. All the daffodils in our Rose Garden are weeping. (more…)
