What’s Happening in the Garden– November 24, 2015

I looked back quickly earlier this morning and realized that I missed posting a What’s Happening update in October.  The Halloween hoopla kind of overtakes everything around here, even as the kids get older.

Beans Beans the More You….

Last week we had a great vacation in a village on a bluff overlooking the ocean. It’s kind of a private place, but I have to share a few glimpses. It was all about the beach, the gardens, our family, good food and tenneball. One of the best parts of the week was that theContinue reading “Of Hydrangeas, Rose of Sharon, Arbors and Tenneball…”
