More Signs of Garden Fairies

October 25, 2022 By Carol Leave a Comment

Garden fairies here. We are garden fairies and we are here to write our own words and stop Carol from driveling on about signs of garden fairies in a garden. As if we'd leave signs! We are garden fairies. We prefer to move about a garden unnoticed, minding our own business. You'll find no sign here that says, "Garden Fairies Live Here." That's just not our style! We prefer more subtle signs that require a little thought and consideration before you realize what they mean. For … [Read more...] about More Signs of Garden Fairies

Garden Fairies Discuss Crocuses in the Fall

November 4, 2021 By Carol 4 Comments

Garden fairies here. We are garden fairies and it has come to our attention that someone is telling people that her autumn crocuses— which were absolutely gorgeous in late October before the killing frosts came—are the result of her magical gardening powers. Um. No. We are garden fairies. They are because of our hard work and the fortunate choice Carol made in planting Crocus speciosus many years ago. Really, her part in all of this took all of about 10 minutes several years … [Read more...] about Garden Fairies Discuss Crocuses in the Fall

Summer Collapsed

October 1, 2020 By Carol Michel 1 Comment

“And all at once, summer collapsed into fall.” - Oscar WildeI notice as I walk around the neighborhood these days that some trees are already shedding their leaves—river birches and ash trees primarily. (Yes, there are a few ash trees still growing in my neighborhood, protected from the Emerald Ash Borers by their owners' judicious use of systemic insecticide treatments.)Is there anything better than shuffling through fallen leaves? I love the sound of them crunching under my shoes.The pine … [Read more...] about Summer Collapsed

Milestones

September 24, 2020 By Carol Michel Leave a Comment

 This week, Dee Nash and I published our 100th Gardenangelists podcast episode.That's a nice milestone, don't you think?Through those 100 episodes, we've learned quite a bit and hopefully shared some nice tidbits about gardening.We learned along the way that publishing a podcast isn't quite as easy as writing a blog post and hitting "publish" when you are done writing and have given it a once over.  It takes a bit of time to sync up our two MP3 files, edit out the pauses and background … [Read more...] about Milestones

2019: A Mast Year for Trees

November 4, 2019 By Carol Michel 6 Comments

They are declaring 2019 is a mast year for trees. A mast year is when all kinds of trees collectively produce more than their normal amount of seed. Really, look it up. Just do an online search for "mast year 2019" and behold all the articles and posts about this phenomenon. You can also read that scientists and others don't really understand how it is that all the trees seem to coordinate their efforts, so to speak, to abundantly flower and produce massive amounts of seed in the same … [Read more...] about 2019: A Mast Year for Trees
