Oh pretty little cottage garden - you make a good therapist. But I sort of lost my mojo for you this year. Once we started talking about moving it seemed like you were not as much fun as usual. Please forgive me? I just didn't feel like focusing on making you awesome so some one else could have you. What if they didn't appreciate how stinking rad you are? What is they tilled you up and ...gulp...built a GARAGE on top of you. The trauma. But here is a new promise - I am going to keep going with you like we are not moving. And if some one buys this house then I hope you look your very best and win them over with your stunning-ness (Is that a word?). Love - Brooke Gardening this year was crazy. Our weather was desert like for most of the summer. It was way beyond the perfect gardening weather we have here in Indiana. We have a very deep well on the funny farm so I could still water my cottage garden, but my back gardens had to sink or swim. It sank. Epic fail. Weeds didn't even grow back there for some time. Josh finally just tilled it under. But the cottage garden did okay. Just okay. I tried to experiment this year with very early plantings and a set of late fall plantings. Those happen to work perfectly. I have carrots, lettuce, peas, and spinach out the wazoo. The middle of the summer stuff is what struggled. The tomatoes taste amazing this year (I love you Black Krim), and I have more hot and bell peppers than I could ever use. The melons failed. Even my bush watermelons in the cottage garden were barely able to feed the chickens. We had almost no strawberry's, I got to fix that. My green beans voted no this year. What am I going to change next year - assuming we are here? Drip irrigation in the cottage garden Some kind of water set up for the messy garden Keep experimenting with companion plantings - sunflowers with green beans, tomatoes with lettuce underneath, spinach planted under broccoli Have a kids bean tepee Plant a large strawberry patch Make a cold frame and experiment with using it Start my own seedlings - something I have resisted till now Finally fix up the front flower beds into edible landscape And 100 other things if I don't stop looking at stupid addicting pintrest

Ipomoea tricolor Also known as: Mexican Morning Glory, Grannyvines Here is a easy to grow garden favorite. It is perfect to hide an unforgiving fence, climb a wall or scramble through arbors or trellises. Also often used as a ground cover or in hanging baskets. It is a herbaceous twining liana rapidly growing to 7–13 ft tall. The heart shaped leaves are spirally arranged, 1–3" long with a 1⁄2–2 1⁄2" long petiole. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, 2–4" in diameter, most commonly vibrant blue with a white to golden yellow center. It has an extended blooming period from summer to fall, attracts hummingbirds and butterflies, and is deer resistant. It prefers well-draining, sandy or loamy soils, in a sheltered, sunny position such as a south or west facing wall. It does not tolerate temperatures below 5 °C (41 °F), and so in temperate regions is usually grown as an annual. In warmer regions it is a self seeding perennial. **Seeds can be toxic to humans and animals if ingested in large quantities. They contain hallucinogenic alkaloids that can cause gastrointestinal upset, agitation, tremors, disorientation, ataxia, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. The leaves and stems typically only cause vomiting. This offer is for 30 seeds.

Fragrant, deep pink blooms
linenandboxwoods.com/2011/04/looking-through-rose-colored... Lets talk a little bit about pink and its place around the exterior of your home. There are LOADS of flowering plants that come in many pink tones and we would feel hard pressed to find any that we don't love! We've got some great inspirational photos all about the way pink plays an important part in a spring or summer landscape... What a statement these pink climbing roses can make, whether as an entrance to your garden or to frame a focal point! Better Homes & Gardens Wow! All the azaleas are just stunning and we love that they are blooming right now in the South. Dream Gardens [caption id="attachment_1523" align="aligncenter" width="475" caption="Southern Living"] [/caption] Beautiful garden with an assortment of Perennials [caption id="attachment_1525" align="aligncenter" width="475" caption="Southern Living, photo by David Dempsey"] [/caption] Love how pink frames the house, what an entrance! [caption id="attachment_1522" align="aligncenter" width="475" caption="Dream Gardens"] [/caption] Amie has a special connection to the garden below (home of Mary and E.L. Boteler) in Leland, MS. It is a truely amazing garden and, around June, there are hundreds of these pink hydrangeas in bloom....breathtaking! [caption id="attachment_1528" align="aligncenter" width="475" caption="Southern Living"] [/caption] The pink peonies are just lovely...oh to have a vase of these inside right now! [caption id="attachment_1529" align="aligncenter" width="475" caption="Southern LivingIf you don't want a big commitment, its easy to add a great annual; like these pink verbenas, to a container!Southern Living"] [/caption] OK, that was fun and really we could have spent all day showing yall the great varieties of pink blooming flowers, but now we have to have a little talk. We just want to make sure that nobody out there has any "spinach in their teeth". We just have to say, that the only place we can think of that pink looks out of place is directly up against an orange-y/reddish tone brick wall. Now, don't anybody get up in arms! We know how us ladies love some pink, but when you are thinking of presenting your home in the absolute best light, its best to use whites or yellows (or purples!) against brick colors like the ones mentioned above. "But I LOVE my hot pink azaleas!", you say. Ditto- we love 'em too. All you have to do is move them out a little into a spot in the yard where you can actually see them from a window in your house (thereby actually enjoying them more) and keep them from being part of the initial view of your home. Just a suggestion...no hate mail please. :) Next up- a little info on an awesome event happening tomorrow night! P.S. We gave as many photo credits as we could in this post, but we couldnt find each and every one in our archives. If you know of the photographer any of the, as yet, uncredited photos please email us. Thanks!
