Fall Cleanup?

Fall Cleanup?

  While our goal used to be leaf-free by Christmas, we’ve come to do much less fall cleanup. We now do one leaf gathering before Thanksgiving and let the remaining leaves (there are plenty of latecomers) rest on the beds until spring. This way we have minimal disruption and, as new growth emerges, we remove […]

  • Winter

    The winter garden is quiet. After snowfall comes the deepest stillness of the year.

  • Early Spring

    Spring is throwing a surprise party out in the garden. Roadside confetti of celandine poppies signals the festivities are beginning.

  • Late Spring

    How could one six-inch-tall plant embody the profusion of mid-May? And yet it does.

  • Early Summer

    June 2014 is greener than most, and the lushest in memory

  • Midsummer

    In midsummer stillness, garden layers reveal themselves.

  • Late Summer

    Wild is the late season. Plants roam, taller and wilder in their September fling.

  • Autumn

    Days before the first frost, golden light bathes a radiant garden at ease. This is the majestic last hurrah.

Welcome, Joe!

A year ago we planted a stand of Joe Pye weed (Eutrochium dubium ‘Little Joe’) in a sunny spot on the path down to the garden. Fireworks of colorful purple blooms are the result this late summer. We love the late bloom time because of the color it adds to our garden and the pollinators […]

Emerald City

Big leaves. Tall plants. Prodigious blooms. More than nine inches of rain in the past six weeks have created a Rosseau-esque vision on Walnut Hill. Our plants look as if we’ve treated them with major fertilizer, but we have not. Not since June 2014, when Roger Foley documented our early summer gardens for the book, […]
