Old Country Gardens.A Long Island woman's passion for gardening. Tuesday, July 20, 2010. This spring my friend Beth gave me some beans in trade for a cow. Actually, Beth gave me two bean plants. She explained to me that these beans have been handed down generation after generation and came from Thomas Jefferson's garden. I'm pretty sure they are Hyacinth beans. Hopefully you can see the structure here and how the beans began to grow up the copper pipe. Here you can see the collection of pots, the stick-f...

Old Country Gardens.A Long Island woman's passion for gardening. Monday, June 14, 2010. I'm always touting foliage, foliage color and foliage shape. Of course the truth is it's the flower that most often takes our breath away. Blooms come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, colors and textures. When choosing a plant for a particular spot, the texture of the bloom can be very important. Right next to the Thalictrum is a large clump of Filipendula. Another wonderful fluffy bloom, just about to burst open an...

Old Country Gardens.A Long Island woman's passion for gardening. Wednesday, June 09, 2010. This past weekend I had the opportunity to watch my neighbors working on a great garden project. Cynthia is one of those fearless do-it-yourself ladies, ready to tackle anything. Well, this time she's decided to tackle quite a big project, a concrete walkway. Doing and she jumped right in to the concrete making business. 24 hours later the cement is hard enough that you can walk on it without making a mark. I can't...

Old Country Gardens.A Long Island woman's passion for gardening. Sunday, January 04, 2015. Photo's through the years. Today I added up a few photos and found that in 2008 I took 1,656 garden related photos. 2009 was a banner year with 2,498 photos. 2010 was the last year I had my big garden, I was working at that time but I still managed to take 799 photos. Today's post will take you back through those years with a focus on what I want now for our new garden. One small garden we haven't begun clearing ye...

Old Country Gardens.A Long Island woman's passion for gardening. Wednesday, March 21, 2012. Centerport, my new home. It's about time you dropped by to see the place :-). As promised, here's some images of my new little cottage in Centerport, New York (north shore of Long Island, between Huntington and Northport). We have a corner lot. Since each house on my street has only 2 homes, I guess we all have corner lots! Here's the other side along with the little side yard. Upstairs is a single room my dau...

Old Country Gardens.A Long Island woman's passion for gardening. Saturday, June 26, 2010. If there's anybody on this planet that's more talented then my friend Gianna at designing container arrangements, I have yet to meet them. Gianna is the Queen, hands down, best container designer ever. Anybody who lives on Long Island is lucky, you can go to Main Street Nursery in Huntington village and pick her brain any time. While I'm familiar with most of the plant material (I'm just more of a perennial gardener...

Old Country Gardens.A Long Island woman's passion for gardening. Monday, February 23, 2015. What could be better on a cold winter night than to go through photos of lush gardens? It's a fridgid 14 degrees outside but this topic is doing it's best to warm me up. If you are lucky enough to to stop and park your car, all you need to do is take a peek through the bars and you'll find yourself transported to another world. One of the first gardens you will walk through are very formal beds but the plant mater...

Old Country Gardens.A Long Island woman's passion for gardening. Sunday, December 28, 2014. In a nutshell - 2014. With the year coming to a close I find myself looking through the photos I've taken this past year. Although I haven't been posting, it doesn't mean I haven't been gardening. Those of you who know me will recognize that the location of my garden has changed again. This time I think I'm really home. Encourages me to make changes. By June the plants filled in well enough. Maybe it's silly b...
