Moving Forward
The good news is that my article ‘The Buzz about Backyard Bees’ is going to be in nine state magazines. And for the second year in a row, I’m assigned a ‘Hot Plant’ article for every issue of Alabama Gardener … Continue reading
Dad and Mountain Laurel
Mother Nature planted mountain laurel all over this property, and it is spectacular right now. Dad was visiting, and since he is 92 and still carries a chainsaw in his trunk, just in case he wants to cut something – … Continue reading
Native Azaleas and Makin’ Shit Up
The native azaleas are wonderful. I assume they’re native. We paid earnest money for this property 20+ years ago. Back then, if you wanted to campout with friends, you had to pack in from about a half mile away, or … Continue reading

Woodland Iris
These little crested iris (Iris cristata) grow wild in the woods around my house. Last year I transplanted some into the garden. They have really appreciated the good soil and a little more light. They never looked this good in their … Continue reading

Cranefly Orchids
Imagine how my wine connoisseur friend, John, feels when he’s going through his cellar and finds a fabulous bottle he had totally forgotten he had; (I’m fairly certain this happens a lot.) or how Marilyn feels when she is doing … Continue reading
