A Kansas Prairie Garden: A big pile of dirt
http://kansasprairiegarden.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-big-pile-of-dirt.html
A big pile of dirt. May 8, and we're. Working on the front entry, trying to get all the rocks out of the dirt, and dig the bed down to a reasonable depth so water can drain and the mulch won't float away. It seems to be one of those things that has to get worse before it can get better. But we're getting there. If we hold the camera in the right place, you'd never even know the spot wasn't finished. Look how wonderfully the Japanese Magnolia has adapted to its new home! We hope you enjoy our garden site.

A Kansas Prairie Garden: The first pots of summer
http://kansasprairiegarden.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-first-pots-of-summer.html
The first pots of summer. I am SOOO eager to get the rest of the flowerpots planted, but it's a little early, even for Kansas. Even though it was 84 degrees yesterday and 75 today, we have cooler weather on the way and I'll likely need to bring these pots inside at night for a few days. Typical, fickle spring in Kansas.

A Kansas Prairie Garden: Challenges and Triumphs
http://kansasprairiegarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/challenges-and-triumphs.html
The rail pots have been a disappointment. We used old dirt and nothing is growing like it should, despite watering, pruning, and fertilizing. We were hoping by this time, end of July, that everything would be spilling over both sides and a foot tall. At least it does offer a little color. AND, I ate my first home-grown tomato today, July 24, from our first ever tomato plant. It was just as good as I imagined it would be the day I planted it. And there are LOTS more where those came from. A Spot of Countr...

Where it all started: a fenced in yard, a "cold" tub, and a dream . . . June 2005. And he rolled up his sleeves and started in.

A Kansas Prairie Garden: Cosmos
http://kansasprairiegarden.blogspot.com/2015/05/cosmos.html
I've fallen hard for Cosmos! These are the cheeriest flowers and they just don't stop blooming! I love the color combination we bought, too.white and shades of pink from pale to magenta! We planted some Cosmos seeds—a beautiful orange variety that some complete strangers gave us after we admired them in their yard last year! We think they're coming up, but no blooms yet here at the end of May. Time will tell. Subscribe to: Post Comments ( Atom ). For more details on the plants in our garden, CLICK HERE.

Mid-April and finally we feel like we can get our flowers in the pots without too much danger of frost. Things are greening up so beautifully, and we're loving having windows open, birds singing, geese squawking, and life all joy! We always go back to our small town when they have their flat sale. Stone Creek Nursery, Hesston, KS is the best! Subscribe to: Post Comments ( Atom ). For more details on the plants in our garden, CLICK HERE. We hope you enjoy our garden site. Plants in the garden:.

Front Porch Sittin' Summer 2006. It's a favorite spot in the yard. I think the only thing that didn't survive the winter was the Diamond Frost (Euphorbia). The Creeping Wirevine, English Ivy, Creeping Jenny and Gaura are all thriving in the soggy corner by the fence. Subscribe to: Posts ( Atom ). For more details on the plants in our garden, CLICK HERE.

A Kansas Prairie Garden: Backyard views
http://kansasprairiegarden.blogspot.com/2015/06/backyard-views.html
The roses are doing well, as is the little barberry bush my dad gave us from his overrun. My tomato plant is halfway up the trellis and has 10 lovely green tomatoes on it. I'm so excited and wonder why I didn't plant a tomato every summer of my life! The day lilies have loved my attention (deadheading to prolong their blooming season.it works! We're now pretty much in the maintenance phase for this summer. Subscribe to: Post Comments ( Atom ). For more details on the plants in our garden, CLICK HERE.
