Where to buy David Austin Roses for your Garden

When I was a kid my grandma had the most magical place. She was a restaurant owner. Not only was she a restaurant owner her home was her restaurant. She and my grandpa restored a victorian parsonage to it’s original glory before youtube and before the diy network. She was a true O.G. when it…

It’s that time of year where the seed catalogs are starting to appear almost daily in my mailbox. Every season I pour over catalogs finding the best seeds for our home garden.

Final Florals from the Garden

The garden is 100% officially done. We had two really harsh frosts this week and the dahlias that were left standing are officially brown. It was a true gift to be able to cut flowers all the way in to October. One of the good things to come from 2020 was a strong and healthy…

Garlic Scape Pesto Recipe

Garlic Scape Pesto Recipe

The only good thing about ramps not being in season anymore is that it means garlic scapes are. I dice these up just like I would ramps into my eggs and quiche although they are a little bit tougher than the ramp leaves so sometimes I give them a little sauté in the butter. Garlic…

June Garden Tour

We are already in the tail end of June and the garden is finally starting to take off. For the longest time I was growing (see what I did there) impatient with how slow things seemed to be taking off. It seemed like the more care and attention I gave things the more they resisted…

How and Why to Grow Basil

I have never grown my own herbs from seed but this year I thought why not I have the time? Now I have over 20 different basil plants to distribute over my garden because I couldn’t decide on just one variety. This year I have sweet basil, thai basil, lemon basil, lime basil and purple…

Why do I need to thin out my garden seedlings

I hate thinning out my seedlings but it’s a necessary action to keep your garden healthy and thriving. A few days ago it was finally time to thin out my radish seeds that I planted back in the beginning of April. I walked out to the garden in the morning before otto and joe were…

Ramp and Gruyere Quiche Recipe

Typically we venture up north in Michigan and spend a couple weekends before spring breaks into summer but this year is different due to the stay home orders. I know that we will be able to head back north soon but for now I will not be able to visit my normal foraging spots for…

Online Garden Seeds

The discussion lately in Garden Group (free group on Facebook for all things gardening) is that so many online garden seeds sources are sold out!
