My Growing Passions: PLEASANT SURPRISES
http://jen-gardenblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/pleasant-surprises.html
The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses. quote / saying by Hanna Rion. My container plants surprised me this year. In late September, the morning glories slowed and moonflowers appeared. I did not think the seeds I planted would germinate. There's no dialog on the second video, but you might want to turn the volume down because of the wind noise. The first and third videos have a little dialog. Taken last week, the day was quite windy, so that overpowers my voice a little.

The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses. quote / saying by Hanna Rion. Mushrooms are very cool organisms. In my opinion. They grow in places we find quite undesirable (like manure). They also look alien. Never did I know of a beautiful mushroom outside of Alice in Wonderland. Sometimes, over the last couple of decades since I have had houseplants, I discovered Leucocoprinus birnbaumii, also called lepiota lutea. Links to this post. WHAT A FUNNY NAME FOR A VEGETABLE! Another ...

The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses. quote / saying by Hanna Rion. Crafting is another hobby of mine. Since I'm not doing as much gardening this year, I may feature more of my projects. This item started as a plain paperboard box (similar to cardboard) with a raised butterfly design on the lid. Black and gold look wonderful together, and those are the only two paint colors I used. The gold is a metallic finish, and the black makes it more outstanding. Allow it to dry a l...

My Growing Passions: HERBS
http://jen-gardenblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/herbs.html
The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses. quote / saying by Hanna Rion. I love herbs. They smell wonderful, add an attractive feature to a garden spot or a container, and are a great healthy way for flavoring meals and cold beverages, making soothing teas and so on. I roasted a small chicken. Springs of rosemary and cloves of garlic can be placed under the skin of the breast, the wings, and the legs. Also, place several sprigs and garlic inside the chicken.

My Growing Passions
http://jen-gardenblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/oh-so-long-it-has-been-since-i.html
The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses. quote / saying by Hanna Rion. I started my new job not long after my mother's funeral. Then I moved into a new apartment. No garden, only a few houseplants. Gifts from my sister. I gave away my previous houseplants when I moved from Bellefonte to Scranton. I see so many reasons now why it was a good move, and I know it was time for a change. These photos are forthcoming. I'm a tease, eh? So the parallel in this may be, spiritually spe...

The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses. quote / saying by Hanna Rion. A FEW PESTS AND WELCOMED GUESTS. Something sees your garden from this point of view. A well-tended and productive garden is an invitation to bugs. True to their name, cabbage moths seek out cabbage; they like other plants in the same family such as broccoli. On the underside of potato plant leaves, orange eggs indicate potato beetle infestation. Maggots aren't repulsed by onion odor. Search The Garden Blo...

My Growing Passions: H.O. SMITH BOTANIC GARDENS
http://jen-gardenblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/ho-smith-botanic-gardens.html
The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses. quote / saying by Hanna Rion. HO SMITH BOTANIC GARDENS. I believe that quite a while ago, I mentioned in a blog entry about the botanical gardens being built at Penn State University. There's not a lot to see yet - just dirt, construction equipment - but there are some foundations being placed. They are visible in this shot from the webcam. According to the site http:/ www.arboretum.psu.edu/index.html. This is what is happening now:.
