Garden fairies here. We are garden fairies and we have come here to provide important, meaningful, relevant updates, and a bit of news. First, we are sounding the alarm that the surprise lilies are blooming, though with those big pink blooms, they don't actually need sound to set a gardener's heart a-flutter. No, not a-flutter because they are so pretty! A-flutter because they bloom at what we garden fairies like to call the beginning of the end of summer. Now, no one should be running … [Read more...] about Garden Fairies Provide Updates

Garden Fairies Lament the Lack of…
Garden fairies here! We are garden fairies and we barely have time to write this blog post, but we feel it is our duty and responsibility to make clear what we lament. What we lament is the lack of notice that there would be tree trimming going on in our garden. Now, we are not talking about the tree trimming that Carol does, which is rare, infrequent, and to us, inconsequential, except sometimes when she makes a boo-boo and saws off a limb she regrets cutting off. It is at those times … [Read more...] about Garden Fairies Lament the Lack of…
Garden Fairies Prepare to Save the Garden, Again
Garden fairies here. We are garden fairies and once again, it is apparently up to us to save this garden from, well, Carol. Let us begin by saying that we've calmed Granny 'Gus' McGarden down and reassured her that we will all help as much as we can. Granny, as long-time readers of our garden fairy posts know, is responsible for the Vegetable Garden Cathedral. Let us tell you she was fit to be tied this past week because Carol took her sweet time and then some before she planted the … [Read more...] about Garden Fairies Prepare to Save the Garden, Again
Garden Fairies Regroup After Late April Snow Event
Garden fairies here. We are garden fairies and we woke up on Wednesday morning, April 21, and this is what we saw. We garden fairies realized right away that this is not normal for April 21st. When she saw the snow, SweetPea MorningGlory started running around saying it was a snow apocalypse. Then Seedy and Soddy chimed in that it was just a snow storm. Other garden fairies called it a snow event. And did we hear "aberration" too? Thus commenced a raucous debate about what to call … [Read more...] about Garden Fairies Regroup After Late April Snow Event
Garden Fairies Take Inventory of Seeds
Garden fairies here. We are garden fairies and we are doing what everyone does in January. We are going through all the seeds to determine if Carol has enough for this spring, summer, and fall. We do this every year and usually have to then give Carol subtle clues to order her seeds because she tends to wait until later to order them. No, we cannot and will not tell you what those subtle clues are as that would reduce their effectiveness—their magic—if people knew about them. We are … [Read more...] about Garden Fairies Take Inventory of Seeds
Garden Fairies Find the New Location
Garden fairies here! We are garden fairies and we cannot be left behind. We would like everyone to know that we followed the breadcrumb trail from Blogger to Wordpress, and here we are! Did Carol think we would find this new location? Did she think for one fleeting minute that we'd never post again? Was she going to go looking for us if we didn't eventually show up here? All good questions but now that we are here, they are moot questions. We are garden fairies. The only relevant question … [Read more...] about Garden Fairies Find the New Location
