So, last year I attempted to be a better gardener. I think I succeeded. You can look at my video from last year to see what a horror show it was. The dead tree is down in the backyard and . . .

As an eager new gardener, I try to reign in my enthusiasm for the ideas and things I'd like to do in my yard. I remember the first spring and summer I spent in my house, I spent it in awe watching . . .

Not much is happening in the garden this week. My Solomon's Seal has shot up in three days time. My dwarf lilac has buds forming and should bloom with some warmer weather. I have more clean up to do . . .

Like many people I am busy. I'd like to devote more time to gardening but gee, there's just too much fun stuff to do! I've decided I should write a book or something called a 15 minute . . .

I must admit that I have been accused of chocolate snobbery. As I grew as a foodie, my palette was no longer excited with milk chocolate. I picked up the dark chocolate habit and never looked back. Until . . .

Things in the herb garden are going swimmingly. That's a figure of speech of course because there hasn't been much water in the Twin Cities other than from my garden hose. I've been using . . .

It's been a great week in the garden. I planted my herbs and harvested some more rhubarb for a strawberry rhubarb sauce that was out of this world. I had a couple of iris bloom. Not as many as last . . .

Like Mother Hubbard I went to my reading cupboard and found that it was quite bare. This got me to thinking. We think globally and act locally right? We buy locally, why not read locally? In 2008 . . .

After a very long break from the genre of poetry I've recently found myself immersed in stanzas this summer. I've been devouring collections by Nicole Blackman, Greg Hewett and now Hart Crane. . . .

I'm sure we've all had the experience of picking up a paper and seeing a headline that we hoped we wouldn't have to read for awhile. I had that same experience last Saturday as I . . .

The herbs are going gangbusters, though I need to do some weeding. It's been too hot for anything besides watering and staying on top of budding flower stalks on the basil, dill and cilantro. Since . . .

Things are going fairly well in the herb garden, though my rhubarb was decimated by a recent hail storm over the weekend which totally bums me out since I have a great new rhubarb crisp recipe I wanted to . . .

Spring is breaking out all over. This week I found my bleeding hearts. The pink one is blooming but the white one is going to need more time. I have two tulips that are blooming. The rest of them don't . . .

Well the fantastic weather over the weekend, and the much needed rain, has certainly perked up the garden. My daffodils bloomed last week, the day lillies are vigorously coming forth and my Iris . . .
