I have “Before” pictures here and there in the blog, where I have pictures of the (formerly) shady side yard on the East side of the house.
I say “before” because now, there’s an “After”.
The younger Ash coming down. Right on the neighbor who had be complaining that it was shedding [...]
That Time of the Year
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
I love spring and summer. Not only is it nice and sunny and warm, the fresh vegetables and fruits are either ripe or getting ripe. I love fresh fruit, and won’t buy tomatoes from a supermarket anymore. They just aren’t the same, no indeed they are not. This is also [...]
On a Sunny Day
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
Chucky the Wonder Dog poses nicely.
And a basket full of tomatoes was picked. A couple of them were really big.
Also, they had a tendency to be somewhat…odd looking.
Best of all, no slugs got their slimy shells on this bunch. My extermination campaign has been successful! No chemicals were used, just [...]

Heirlooms Around the Homestead
Submitted by High Altitude Gardening Blog
Rip Van Winkle Daffodils, born 1884
* Heirloom bulbs are genetically unique. They live for freakin’ ever, producing new flower offspring each year. (So, if you buy one bulb, chances are you’ll have 20 or 30 before you scream enough’s enough!)

Am I the only one with the bird feeders still out and filled? I think I will leave them up all summer as I am enjoying the wildlife which, at this point, includes this wild little creature, the gray squirrel. I should name her….Sunflower? She is [...]

Mud month is a real, true season in the mountains.
Unidentified Utah Wildflower #2

Tulip Mania
Submitted by High Altitude Gardening Blog
My tulip garden is looking magnificent.
With any luck I’ll have 5, maybe 6, Parrots and Darwins adding bright cheery color in the month of May.
Confused? Are you thinking this is my garden??
Ha!
These are more photos from the super fantabulous Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival that I attended multiple times because [...]

Gifts
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
It’s time to be looking for things for Mother’s Day. Sigh, you have no idea how hard it is for anyone to buy a present for my mom. With five kids, she’s gotten just about anything a mother could get for Mother’s Day presents that you could imagine. Plus, I [...]

The heat pushed Hally Jolivette to the limit of bloom and beyond but look how this Prunus has grown in one year. The first picture was takin in April ‘08 and the subsequent picture just this week. Usually this shrub blooms over a long period [...]
Here, Piggy Piggy!
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
Okay, so now the Swine Flu is to be known as the H1N1 virus. Every time I look at that it reads (for a split second) and the “Hiney Virus”. As in, you know, kiss your hiney good bye…
While part of me is glad that people who make the decisions [...]
