Pittsgrove Farms - Plant Dirt: Pittsgrove Farms Is Alive and Well--So Is The Jersey Shore
http://plantdirt.blogspot.com/2013/01/pittsgrove-farms-is-alive-and-well-so.html
Friday, January 18, 2013. Pittsgrove Farms Is Alive and Well- So Is The Jersey Shore. Plants asleep for the winter. I'm a Jersey girl (old broad) born and raised and it was heart wrenching to see the devastation across our beautiful and much maligned state, especially the shore area. What concerns me now is how much we are hearing that Jersey is down for the count, which is far from the truth. I have gotten feedback from merchants in Cape May. Cape May at Sunset. Keep warm and think Spring! The Marketing...

Stated New Jersey was too great a distance for them and Australia would be too far to ask us to travel, and suggested we meet them in Hawaii. Let's see- sub-freezing, snowy Jersey, or 85 degree and sunny Oahu. Not a difficult choice at all. Ramona" Cheryl and "Duke". Mindanao Gum Tree at the Dole Plantation. Our walks together throu...

Pittsgrove Farms - Plant Dirt: February 2013
http://plantdirt.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 1, 2013. Garden Shows Across the US. I'm nice and cozy indoors while I write, but today here at Pittsgrove the temperature is hovering around 18 degrees so I don't plan to be doing any gardening, thank you very much. As temperatures dip and weather turns nasty, for many cabin fever sets in and winter doldrums ensue. To eliminate, or at least minimize the effects of being cooped up, garden shows. That are scheduled throughout many bleak winter days, provide a terrific remedy. The Marketin...

Monday, May 30, 2011. My thoughts today are for those who served with my dad, uncles and father in law in WWII, with John during Viet Nam, and with Garrett in the Middle East and did not return. May they rest in peace and never be forgotten. We should all be thankful for the ultimate sacrifice they made in service to their country. God bless each and every one. Friday, May 20, 2011.

Monday, April 30, 2012. Heucheras are also great plants to use in combination pots, as they fill out quickly and provide great texture and focal points. Other than cutting back the dead foliage in the fall, (which should be done with all of your perennials) Heuchera is really a carefree perennial which will add a unique look to your garden for years to come.

Friday, March 30, 2012. Iris Unguicularis-AKA Winter Blooming Iris. Having just experienced "The Winter That Wasn't" here in Jersey, it may seem strange to be writing about a winter blooming iris, but we try to introduce you to some plants that may be unfamiliar to all of you who just remember Grandma's iris (tall bearded) growing in her back yard. Iris Unguicularis, additionally known as Alge. Light purple blooms are nestled in the center of the clump. With the warm weather continuing, we expect it to b.
