Spruce Pine Cottage: Old Garden Roses and Dad
http://sprucepinecottage.blogspot.com/2015/07/old-garden-roses-and-dad.html
Day Trips and Cool Places. Saturday, July 18, 2015. Old Garden Roses and Dad. Probably the closest I’ve ever felt to my dad was in the late ‘90s when he became interested in old garden roses. I was living in Atlanta at the time, trying to get my first yard going, and suddenly Dad was offering me these wonderful roses he’d rooted himself. Some had delightful fragrances. Others had bunchy, fluffy flowers like Persian kitten faces. All of them were charming. Part of our ritual was to enthuse about the roses...

Backyard Jungle Art: Nonchalance in the Garden
http://backyardjungleart.blogspot.com/2015/08/nonchalance-in-garden.html
Go to Your Studio and Make Stuff" Fred Babb. Friday, August 7, 2015. Nonchalance in the Garden. I'm a bit of a nonchalant gardener. I have messy borders, some things are a bit overgrown, and overall it's a rather raffish looking garden - but I like to think it has a certain roguish charm. This is my interpretation of it. I'd say it's in a slightly abstract sort of way. I used watercolors and India Ink on a 5" x 7" multimedia paper. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Send me an Email.

Backyard Jungle Art: My Etsy Store is Open - at long last!
http://backyardjungleart.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-etsy-store-is-open-at-long-last.html
Go to Your Studio and Make Stuff" Fred Babb. Sunday, July 19, 2015. My Etsy Store is Open - at long last! It took me awhile, but I've done, diddly, done it - finally! It was all the putsy stuff like shipping and legal things that took time to sift through - and I still don't have it all together and there's not much in it as yet, but I've been wanting to do this for some time and I'm excited that my Etsy shop is now up and running. Etsy has been in existence for 10 years now - wow! Send me an Email.

Garden On Fourth Street: Mostly Summer, With A Dash Of Fall
http://gardenonfourthstreet.blogspot.com/2016/10/mostly-summer-with-dash-of-fall.html
Garden On Fourth Street. Central Florida Garden Blog. October 31, 2016. Mostly Summer, With A Dash Of Fall. There's a period of time, quite early in the morning, when I sense fall in the air. All too soon, the temperatures ascend to the mid 80's and fall is forgotten. Summer blooms are still numerous in my gardens, like this Pagoda Plant with a lovely visitor. This Clematis had been cut down a few weeks ago and has returned to flower once more. Tibouchinas in the shade garden. Out front in full sun.

Garden On Fourth Street: Last Post Of 2015
http://gardenonfourthstreet.blogspot.com/2015/12/last-post-of-2015.html
Garden On Fourth Street. Central Florida Garden Blog. December 23, 2015. Last Post Of 2015. A gardener, trying to share a glimpse of my endeavors at gardening. Thank you all for sharing your lovely spaces with me, you and your beautiful gardens have been an inspiration. This is a little of what's going on in my world. I sowed ryegrass seed a week or so ago, and my neighbor yelled over, "You're gonna have to mow that, you know? Hydrangeas in the shade gardens, around back, are also setting buds. They had ...

Garden On Fourth Street: Fabulous Fall
http://gardenonfourthstreet.blogspot.com/2016/11/fabulous-fall.html
Garden On Fourth Street. Central Florida Garden Blog. November 23, 2016. If you're looking for a cool, autumnal place to celebrate Thanksgiving, don't come to Florida. Sunshine and eighty degree days are what we're looking forward to for the next few weeks, and I couldn't be happier. Oh yes, it's quite dry - but the continued warmth is a beautiful thing! A lighter shade of pink, 'Cotton Candy'. Across the yard, another young Sasanqua, 'Alabama Beauty'. Roses by the porch. Flowering earlier this year.

Garden On Fourth Street: Life Within The Garden
http://gardenonfourthstreet.blogspot.com/2016/04/life-within-garden.html
Garden On Fourth Street. Central Florida Garden Blog. April 18, 2016. Life Within The Garden. We've always had rabbits around, and luckily they've never been too much trouble. In the past they've cropped a few newly sprouted beans, but nothing we couldn't live with. They've always been very skittish, taking off whenever our paths crossed. But then.the other day I came across this bunny that has no wild. No nest, just this bunny. A couple hours later, I was out front taking a few pictures. This is the fir...

Garden On Fourth Street: This Is For the Birds
http://gardenonfourthstreet.blogspot.com/2016/02/this-is-for-birds.html
Garden On Fourth Street. Central Florida Garden Blog. February 21, 2016. This Is For the Birds. This is for the birds, literally! They're providing color in my garden, while the landscape is still dreary. When spring arrives I won't have the luxury of sitting quietly waiting on them to appear, so I'm enjoying them now. We have lots of cardinals, first to the feeders in the morning and the last to leave at night. This cool guy is a Gray Catbird. A Goldfinch and friends. I hope you are all enjoying whateve...

Garden On Fourth Street: Central Florida...Gardening And Gators.
http://gardenonfourthstreet.blogspot.com/2015/07/central-floridagardening-and-gators.html
Garden On Fourth Street. Central Florida Garden Blog. July 28, 2015. Central Florida.Gardening And Gators. We had a rainy day yesterday, gentle showers, throughout the afternoon. It was somewhat cooler, than it had been most mornings. I decided to grab my pruners and start a few cuttings, from this. I don't have a potting bench, but as it was misting off and on, I worked under the umbrella, on my back deck. I did a tray of assorted coleus. I've never rooted a desert rose before, but hey, why not? We had ...
