Gardening

This section will be about my adventures in cleaning up my garden & flower beds. I love to grow things, but it’s gotten away from me in the past few years. Now I’m kicking out the weeds & rubble to make room for veggies, flowers, & herbs. I’m always looking for new things to grow, but I still have some old favorites, like tomatoes.  South Georgia has a very long growing season, so there’s always something to do.  This is the place to look for all things outdoor & I hope y’all will join me as I get my hands dirty!

DIY Tiered Planter

I started cleaning off my back porch this week so we can make some repairs to the floor. During my cleaning, I rediscovered some items I forgot I had – imagine that! I gathered some of them together to make a tiered planter to add to one of my side gardens. It’s amazing what a […] Read more…

Spring has Sprung ~ Gardening Plans

Tuesday was the official first day of spring, but things have been blooming here in South GA since last month. There is pollen everywhere, which is not always a great thing for my sinuses! It has started giving me the itch to dig in the dirt & plant some things. It’s a little early, even […] Read more…

Preserving the Harvest & Making Grape Juice

I come from a family of gardeners & preservers.  We like to grow food, preserve it, & eat it!  It’s about that time in the garden to start saving produce for a colder day, so I thought I’d talk about preserving the harvest.  My dad’s grapes are also ready & I’m going to show you […] Read more…
