Happy Friday! It’s it cold where you are? We’re heading into the weekend with a winter weather advisory bringing us another chance of a snow. I’m biding my time until spring with a little winter gardening and foraged greenery! My Potting Shed back porch need a little winter love so I gave it a refresh…
How about some flower therapy on a cold gray or snowy day? I’m sharing a look back at how I puttered, played and planted around the Potting Shed this past year, but first a ‘thank you’ for all your visits and comments in 2021! I’m still surprised and humbled you find the time to visit…

We’ve had some squirrel adventures over the last couple of weeks! Momma Squirrel decided to build a nest in the top watering can of the chain gang by the Potting Shed.

Happy Monday, I hope you had a good weekend! We enjoyed a Red, White, and Blue Ridge Getaway for the 4th of July holiday, and now I’m playing catch up in ‘the garden of weedin’. In addition to the weeds growing, the Limelight hydrangeas burst into bloom while we were away. I have 5 Limelight hydrangeas planted…
Welcome November. . .how did you get here so quickly? I cut some Limelight hydrangeas, maiden grass and feathery fall grasses to fill a watering can to hang in welcome on the door of the Potting Shed. Grasses are ready to sprinkle, replacing the missing watering can rose. Fall is late arriving here but the leaves are starting…
It’s that time of year when everything in the garden is starting to fade. Our Endless Summer Hydrangeas have transitioned from their vibrant, spring blues to the softer, summer shades of green. . . We’ve been hot and dry this summer and it’s been a challenge to try to keep things watered. My toad house looks like…
In French or English, Fleur du Soleil or Sunflower says “summer” like no other flower! Grown for beauty as well as harvested for seed, sunflowers symbolize the sun, conveying warmth, happiness, adoration and longevity. These cheery flowers never fail to make me smile with their sunny faces. You may have noticed I have lots of watering…

Summer flowers are beginning to look tired, wilting from the summer heat. . . just like me. White Stock and peach roses in a $4 blues-buster bouquet from the grocery store add some welcome fragrance.…
