Under the Solano Sun

Having seen many pretty pictures of succulent fairy gardens online, I finally decided to attempt one myself. Armed with a hammer, chisel and old towel, I was ready to start on some Dollar Store Terracotta pots. The klutz in me had said to definitely buy more than one pot.

Sunchoke - Jerusalem Artichoke - Sunroot, Helianthus tuberosus Edible Tuber Plant 4-6 inches deep and 12-18 inches apart Grows 6-10 tall, Needs staking.

Spring blooms ending soon Most roses are in full bloom May a month of change...

With spring so warmly upon us, thoughts turn to meaningfully entertaining children during summer vacation.

I love to grow a variety of easy-to plant, spring-flowering bulbs for their colorful, cheery blooms in the garden and to fill vases inside my home. One of my favorites is ranunculus, which come in a variety of colors and petal styles, and are very easy to grow.
