Landscaping questions

Ask yourself these questions when planting ornamental flowers, shrubs & trees.
1.  Does the site have full sun, full shade or sun/shade?
2.  What do you want to see? colors all year? Flowers in the summer?
3.  How tall do you want the plant to be?
See you in the garden shoppe. We have organized our plants according to needs. Annuals, Perennials, Shade, Sun, Groundcovers, etc.
Feel welcome to ask Granny Organic any questions.

Fairies in the Garden

Truly great garden fun is adding miniature accessories to your garden for the fairies. Don't have a garden? Create one with tiny plants. "Stepables" a name brand of groundcovers work great.  Blue Star Creeper,  Irish & Scotch moss, Brass buttons & more.  Kathy even pruned a dwarf boxwood to look like a little tree for out Fairy garden.  If you would rather "play" inside the little picnic tables, adirondack furniture, lanterns & bicycles will make a great accent for any doll's house or miniature railroad.

Pea Mishap

Yes, even experienced, long time gardeners have set backs.  Something ate our first planting of peas sooooo today we replanted. Our favorites are Alderman pole peas for shelling and Sugar Snaps for peas in the shell. Granny Organic actually prefers the shelling peas for flavor. She's looking forward to trying out the pea sheller she just got.
