Making the earth laugh
"the earth laughs in flowers"
-e.e.cummings
This blog is a journey into that laughter. From my childhood when my job was weeding the dreaded vegetable garden (which I despised with every fiber of my being) to my very early adulthood when I planted my first impatiens (which promptly died) to now - a gardening lover and business owner; gardens have made me feel something.
This is my tribute to the hard work, the boring work, the failures and the immeasurable joys of gardening. Yes, I continue to garden...and laugh.

sticks and stones
One challenge I faced with this particular property was to cover an ugly wall while keeping everything as natural and 'farmy' as possible. Vining plants, such as clematis were an obvious choice, but I felt trellises wouldn't work in this environment. So I rummaged around the yard and found branches I could use - and it worked. And it's FREE! These are before and after pictures.(or rather: after and before - I am terrible at this blogging thing!)
