Petunia Blossom Resuable tote from InkGarden.com

Beautifying the Backyard

written by Lauren

With all the rain that was in the forecast this week for my home’s Central New Jersey area, I decided to take advantage of the wet weather and get some planting done, so my newly planted greenery could soak up the moisture. First up was planting some impatiens in shades of pink and violet in the planting bed that sits before a row of skip laurel bushes at the back of my home’s backyard. I recently put up a fencescreenon the chain link fence that separates my yard from a playground, so now that my backyard’s view ends at a planting bed filled with the skip laurels, I wanted to add a splash Continue reading...

Almost Planting Time

written by Lauren

sunflower

Now that my family’s vegetable garden is nearly on its way (I still have to add more soil), I’ve been thinking about what we want to plant this spring. My daughters and I definitely would like to plant some peas. We got a bit of a late start last year (and didn’t plant until about May), so this year we will do it right and plant our peas around St. Patrick’s Day, the traditional pea planting time for much of the Mid-Atlantic states. We had some success with sunflowers in our garden last year, so this year we hope to plant sunflowers again, but BIGGER ones. So, I purchased a few Continue reading...
