New Project At Hand- A Prairie Spot

My Place + September

September Drought It has been a dry and heartless September, so what is a gardener to do? Start a new garden bed, of course. Actually, it wasn’t that blithe a decision, since I had been reducing gardened areas. So why would I now carve out a new, quite large bed from the already reduced lawn…

Outdoor Cleanup

2009 + Seasons + September

That is the autumn clematis picture collage I made for the plant profile page- the vine is still blooming, but pretty much blown, now. The fuzzy little seedheads are appearing and giving the whole arbor a hazy look. I will post the article this week. Right now I am featuring an article on some of…

What To Do Now: September

2009 + bulbs + garden chores + September

No it isn’t a “Honey-do” list, but just some reminders before the season gets away from you! As it often does for me….

September Poems

September

Something of what we see daily here has been caught in a poem. Septemberby Helen Hunt Jackson The golden-rod is yellow; The corn is turning brown; The trees in apple orchards With fruit are bending down. The gentian’s bluest fringes Are curling in the sun; In dusty pods the milkweed Its hidden silk has spun….

2009 + Landscape Trees + September + Vegetable garden

Didn’t I just give you all an update? Well, I walked you through, but there are other elements to what is happening here. Like trimming and pruning old big trees. I didn’t tell you about that, did I? Coming to this garden most of the great old trees were gone. This area is known for…

September Forecasting

2009 + September

Whether by pure speculation or by scientific means we all wish to forecast the weather for purposes of being prepared. “Forewarned is forearmed” as it is said. I like to check in the the Farmers Almanac, and sometimes I remember to check their accuracy later and sometimes I don’t. I suppose you could say that…

Dead Leaves

garden chores + Seasons + September

The drying winds of Ike left an aftermath not only of broken branches, but dried leaves that are prematurely falling from the trees. No color, directly passing to the phase of dried brown leaf litter. It has not been a good year for my trees. Those not skeletonized by the plague proportions of Japanese beetles…
