Welcome to my web home and gardens! The veggie garden is now in full swing, and this is also the month for thinning fruits and finishing up landscaping projects. I wish you could hear the birds who have come to spend the summer in our opening in the woods! This time of year, the green world feels like paradise. 
 
I hope you enjoy exploring these pages, organized loosely by subject at blog central. Most include links to related articles at Mother Earth News or GrowVeg.com. I slip in new musings every chance I get, along with photos that have captured special moments in my garden.
 
Here are some timely suggestions:
 

 

Mulch for Blueberries

 

Stinging Nettles

 

Valerian -- Valium for the Nose

 

And, though it's not about gardening, I invite readers of short fiction to sample The Dug Road, 1799, available on Kindle.

 

Click around to learn more about my booksblogs, and lectures.  By the time you move on, I hope you feel inspired to garden a little more, and have a great time doing it.
