Gardening in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada
Snow has fallen on points south, north and west but the ground is still bare here. I can still wear shorts on mid-day runs even while my neck enjoys being coddled in a buff, and there is still some lovely fall colour in the garden even if it’s mostly provided by foliage rather than flowers. […]
Every Monday Cathy at Rambling in the Garden invites us to join her in sharing materials from our gardens.

Quite a pleasant way for me to pass the time while on the highway or treadmill. These two guys refer to their listeners as ‘G and Divas‘ – referring to the […]
It’s officially the last day of summer here, with the fall equinox arriving tomorrow at 08:44 a.m. As I heard someone on the radio say the other day, it seemed it was June just yesterday but then I blinked, and it’s already autumn. It’s been a glorious summer in the garden, for the most part, […]
