Garden Great in Zone 8! Laquo; Freeze Warning! On April 20, 2014. We survived last week’s frost warning and rain and made it to Easter! Though the day started out chilly and gray, the afternoon could not have been more beautiful. After I worked the early shift for the mission trip pancake breakfast, attended an excellent Easter service at The Ridge. And took a walk with my trusty Great Dane Clementine, I headed outside to spend a lovely day in the yard. My First Peony Blossom. April 21, 2014 at 1:43 am.

Garden Great in Zone 8! It was a glorious Palm Sunday in middle Georgia. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and the temperature was just about perfect. After an excellent church service at The Ridge,. I spent most of the day in the yard. First, let’s talk tomatoes. Most folks know that they need support. The stores sell contraptions called tomato cages. I should just buy a few of those for my tomatoes, right? So what should you do? Well, you could use a simple old stake. A long piece of bamboo or...

Garden Great in Zone 8! Today, my goal is to put down as much mulch as possible. Mulch helps prevent weeds and water loss. So that’s my project. Yippee. During my mulching, I saw some new blooms: daisies, hydrangeas, and gardenias. Summer is almost here, y’all! Mulch in progress: I put down newspaper first to slow down the weeds. Back to the yard. Enjoy this beautiful day! We survived last week’s frost warning and rain and made it to Easter! My First Peony Blossom. The holidays), but I missed this one:.
