Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Wordless Wednesday - Under the Leaves of a Sycamore Tree. Links to this post. Monday, November 26, 2012. Will My Client Plant a Copper Beech? So, I have this client, a friend of a friend, and a really incredible graphic designer. And she has this AMAZING piece of property in the south suburbs of Chicago. Her lot is about 125' by 320'. Huge! This is the kind of space that makes my heart race a little! I can select something that will get BIG. Links to this post. Ascot Rainbow...

Thursday, February 28, 2013. 2013 Plant Wish List. One thing that helps me get through winter is keeping a wish list of all of the plants I want to purchase in the spring. I visit my plant supplier often throughout the season to pick up plants for clients, and always add in a few for myself. Here are some of the plants I'm dreaming of now. Obelisk'. Photo credit. Obelisk' (Amelanchier First Editions Standing Ovation Serviceberry). Golden Guinea' (Japanese Rose). Another 'gardener's plant,'. Is another ra...

Gardener in a Forest: June 2013
http://tinakoralgardens.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 20, 2013. It's been over a month since I've posted last. A month! I know my thousands. Of readers are on the edge of their seats, wondering what life has been like for us over this last month, right? Truth is, I'm feeling a bit of a disconnect from this blog. Most of my content is inspired by my own gardens, and I currently don't have one. And most importantly, squeezing in play dates and dinners with good friends (even though I keep reminding them that we will not be that. I don't even wa...

Sunday, February 16, 2014. The New Potager - Gathering Ideas. As winter keeps dragging on, my thoughts turn to spring and growing fresh, organic produce at home. These cold, gray days are perfect for dragging out the gardening books and putting a plan together. You might remember my potager (kitchen garden) at the old house. And got to work listing selections. 3 Borders - Wood timbers for the raised bed, and landscaping stone for the ground-level beds. 4 Structure - In addition to the fence and gate/arbo...

Tuesday, May 13, 2014. The New Potager - Preparing the Space. The first order of business was to remove the existing shrubs, a million and a half daylilies, about 975 square feet of grass, and an entire bluestone patio. Whew. I'm exhausted just thinking about those long hours of labor. Luckily, the hubby was able to use some vacation days to knock most of this out, along with a couple of lingering inside projects. We were also pleased to find some treasure back in the corner of the lot. Links to this post.

Gardener in a Forest: July 2014

Tuesday, July 29, 2014. The New Potager: The Big Reveal! I'm so happy to finally share pics of the garden! However, we're not quite finished (always the gardener's lament)! We are still researching what material to use for the "floor." I'm so glad we did not go with decomposed granite, as it surely would have washed away in the heavy rains we had early in the season. I need a larger stone with more staying power, and will post when we decide and lay it down. Anyhow, here is how it looks today. So tell me...

Wednesday, October 24, 2012. Wordless Wednesday - Giraffe Love. Near Moline, IL. Links to this post. Thursday, October 18, 2012. If you follow my blog, you know that I'm not an "annual person." And it's not because I don't like them, I'm just no good at keeping things watered. But when I saw these massive, half-bushel mums at my plant supplier, I had to have one. And, I'll be making them available to my local customers next year. These mums are HUGE! Links to this post. Wednesday, October 17, 2012. A cou...
