This is a new blog to chronicles the happenings in my garden. If you are visiting, please leave a comment and say hi!I've been gardening on my one acre plot for nine years and I learn something new with each season. I also tend to forget some things... so I'm hoping that this journal will help me keep track of my garden.
To the right is the container on my front porch. For the fall, I planted it with a rusty-red garden mum from the grocery store, golden creeping jenny (Lysimachia nummularia ‘Aurea’), and a weeping brown sedge (Carex flagellifera ).
Although the sedge looks dead, that is its natural bronze-red colour. This New Zealand-native beauty is not hardy in my zone. When the mum will be done blooming, I will plant the creeping jenny in the ground and I will bring the sedge indoors.
I'm a frugal gardener, so i try to keep plants from year to year. I will hose off the dirt from the root ball, plant it in sterile soil and keep it under grow lights in the basement.
Welcome to my garden!
