It's been so mild for December in these parts. Sh but I think I saw magnolia buds trying to bust out of their shells.

Joan weed, Z5, VT replied to Pat Martin's discussion 'Iris' in the group Perennials
Pat, iris like sunshine and warmth to thrive. In particular their rhizomes like to be exposed to the sun. so when you're able, plant outdoors(they are very hardy) and after planting tug on them to bring them very close to the surface. Do not…

Happy Christmas to all my garden friends. Catherine I do hope you're snug in your bed in the UK by now but the wish is good for morning too!

I loved looking at your photos. They remind me a lot of the plants and landscape here in Western MA. We are just getting our first snow tonight (10/27). I'll miss the gardening. But I'll have to settle for tending…

Lee, welcome. This is the first activity we've had for quite some time. Now that we're winding down in Northeastern US , we can talk more. I am looking forward to taking part in a big fund-raising garden tour next summer.…

I love hearing what all you folks are doing and enduring. I can't always apply your info to my Vermont garden but love reading it still. I started reading Anna Pavord's 'A Curious Gardener' yesterday. She's not as stuffy as…

Oh Jan wish I was close enough--I'd take them off your hands. I cook them down, make some jelly but any leftover juice goes into the freezer. It is so delish in winter. You can dilute it quite a bit after thawing too. I served this…

Thanks--but most are rightly called overwintering plants. LOL There's dusty Miller, pelargonium, heliotrope, hibiscus(big pots) and gerbera. The gerbera is at least 15 years old and the hibiscuses even older.

Once, while visiting a friend in Arkansas, we pulled up to his house and one of our group jumped out and posed under the arch to his front walk. We clicked our cameras and took off.
Nice house by the way.

Beautiful crisp fallish day here in Vermont. Time to get out in the garden.
Joan weed, Z5, VT commented on Garden-Share's group 'United Kingdom'
Welcome Catherine. as you can see we aren't a very lively crew. Maybe we can get things moving in the UK group.
What is your weather like today? we are having a lovely hot summer day. Could use a bit of rain--never thought…

Just made mine yesterday. I like the onions added but they aren't necessary. I would add some powdered garlic or onion flakes for the flavor enhancement. Unless there is an allergy problem or the taste of onions is the problem. I just…
Joan weed, Z5, VT replied to Nancy E Jenkins's discussion 'Weeds: Edibles and Medicinals or just plain weeds!' in the group Perennials
Good idea Nancy. My only "weed" story involves culinary sage. One winter I had blocked sinuses. You know where your head is so dry and you can't change it no matter what you do? Well I happened to read quite…

But I'll have to settle for tending my houseplants and planning for next year's garden 'til it warms up again. Thanks for sharing your pictures. Leslie

Trudy Dudley said… Hi Joan, I'm still learning and am not sure where to post messages to send to people when I have something to ask or want to share in a conversation. I do hope you receive this.
I can see early signs of spring in the north country. My daffodils are up about 5 inches or so. I can smell the earth unthawing, I spotted the first of the spring birds in my courtyard, and the 26 inches of snow is finally melting to where we have less than half of it. Sugaring is near over but the smell of it still lingers in the air from our neighbor's house. How is Spring "feathering" at your home? I hope to post pictures of spring blooms soon, as I am still figuring this out. Have a nice day.

- Hi Joan, I live about 30 miles north of Burlington, In Fairfax. So I guess you can say we're neighbors. Yes, I loved viewing your photos, and I hope soon to learn how to post some of mine. Thanks for the welcome, looking forward to chating with new folks.

- i have only used this one player, you can click on create your own playlist (you do this say on my player. Then you will be directed to the site with the player, once you add your songs to the player, click on the share button it will show you a bunch of different sites were you can share it, however none are under GI. At the bottom of the page it shows the embedded code, click the copy button. Go to your home page on GI click on the edit button when it opens paste and save. I hope this helps! I would be glad to help you. I hope that all made sense!
