Gardening Can Be As Easy As Lasagna

Posted on October 26, 2016October 24, 2016 by The Groundskeeper

Cleaning out your garden shed is often on gardener’s spring cleaning list.  For this gardener, though, it is an item that gets done at whatever part of the year provides the time and motivation.  As I have been cleaning out items in the house, transitioning that motivation to the garden shed, and counting it as…

Plantings Of All Green Need Not Be A Bad Thing

Posted on October 19, 2016 by The Groundskeeper

The planter box above is made up of fairly small growing plants.  The area gets a fair amount of sun, is about 3 feet off the ground and around 2 feet wide.  Using more petite plants keeps this area from being overwhelmed.  Instead of using one regular sized or larger plant, at least 4 smaller…

Small does not mean insignificant

Contrast in color, size, and texture can add interest to your garden.  Here I showed you an example of a large area where this was used. Here in a smaller example. Tucked into a corner of a garden, it would have easy to put in a plant and move on. Instead, a bit more time…

Sit back and enjoy. No weeding required.

Posted on October 7, 2016October 6, 2016 by The Groundskeeper

When I first saw this garden, in its wintertime bareness, I would imagine all the different ways it could be planted and decorated. Then I began to feel like a failure for not being able to do the same in my garden. Later I visited the same gardens. They were taking shape, colors were starting…

Views Of The Garden: Finding Beauty In The Mundane

Posted on September 19, 2016September 12, 2016 by The Groundskeeper

Even the most beautiful of gardens will still require things that may not be so beautiful – buckets, gloves, shovels, wheel barrows, pots waiting to be used, compost piles in the process of breaking down, etc.  Whether these items must be seen or hidden in side a building or container, they are all a part…

Views Of The Garden: Variety Is The Spice Of Life

Posted on September 15, 2016September 12, 2016 by The Groundskeeper

Herbs are a great and simple addition to any garden, even this one build for children to explore.  Their various shapes, colors, patterns, textures, and scents all add fun variety without much extra effort. For those varieties which tend to spread, burying a pot to plant them in often works well.  These pots can either…

Views of the Garden: beautiful details and attractive larger picture

Posted on September 8, 2016 by The Groundskeeper

While my personal garden does have the same begonias as those pictured above, this is not my garden.  It is one that we have visited and enjoyed.  Having seen it in different seasons and over several years, I have come to learn from what the various gardeners have done.  Here is one example, both close up (above)…

Do not give up on Ugly, it can be Beautiful

Posted on August 22, 2016November 25, 2017 by The Groundskeeper

Even an untrained eye could tell you the photo above is, well, horrid.  For many reasons, which I will not be going into.  What it does capture is the feeling and look of a spare garden box I had in June.  Last year this garden bed held a few flowers and lots of peppers.  This…

Do Not Distress, The Battle Is Not Done!

Posted on July 16, 2016July 16, 2016 by The Groundskeeper

During a summer job in college, I was blessed to get to spend hours each day walking through nature, being exposed to sights and sounds many may never see.  When it is just you and the forest, animals appear that normally would not, you hear things that often get lost in the noise of the…

About Myself

About me

Welcome! I'm so glad you stopped by. Take some time to look around and leave a comment saying "Hello".

I am a wife who has ventured into 4 different hardiness zones with her husband; 3 of which I had a garden of some sort in. I am also a mother, Christian, and lover of nature. Currently we live in Town and garden mainly with raised beds and containers.

Come join me on the journey and we'll see where we end up. I will see you in the garden. ~ Rosie, The Groundskeeper
