Welcome to Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day for January 2023! Here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6b garden in central Indiana, we've had all kinds of weather since the last bloom day. From frigid temperatures below zero to a thunderstorm the other morning, with sunny days in between, the garden has been through it all. As one might imagine, and you might know from living in a similiar zone, there is not a lot in bloom outside in January. There are some snowdrops, pictured above. I also found … [Read more...] about Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – January 2023

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – December 2022
Welcome to Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day for December 2022. Here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden in central Indiana we have yet to feel the full force of winter. Yesterday was mild enough for me to do a bit of garden clean up and today, Wednesday, it is rainy and dreary. But I went out anyway and found some blooms to share. First up is a picture of the cement rabbit that guards my back garden all day, every day, year round. I like the patina he's acquiring and it sort of counts as a … [Read more...] about Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – December 2022
Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – November 2022
Welcome to Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day for November 2022. Here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden in central Indiana, we've suddenly been plunged into winter. If someone came here from another planet, they would probably be quite confused because just a few days ago, it was almost summer-like. But for those of us who've been here for a while, well... How about that Christmas Rose, Helleborus niger blooming already? This is probably one of the plants I bought several years ago at a … [Read more...] about Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – November 2022
Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – October 2022
Welcome to Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day for October 2022. Here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden, we've had two light touches of frost last weekend, and the forecast for the next ten days, last I looked, promised a couple of mornings with temperatures dipping below freezing. And it is suddenly quite dry. But there are still blooms! First up are the tall sedums which on hindsight isn't the best way to start a blog post about what's blooming because those blooms are done. They are … [Read more...] about Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – October 2022

Welcome to Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day for September 2022. Here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden in central Indiana, I am pleasantly surprised by the blooms in my garden a week or so before the autumnal equinox which this year arrives on Thursday, September 22, 2022, at 9:04 P.M. EDT in the Northern Hemisphere. Now with that tidbit of info, let's look at some blooms! First up is a tall sedum, variety unknown. This one is a little floppier than some because it gets shade … [Read more...] about Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – September 15, 2022
Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – August 2022
Welcome to Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day for August 2022. Where shall we begin? Here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden in central Indiana, June was dry, July was not as dry, and August has so far already brought over three inches of rain at the halfway point. This morning I took pictures after a brief shower that brought another .20 inches of rain, which sounds like more than 1/5th of an inch, doesn't it? But that's what it was. Up first is a new-to-me sunflower grown from seeds … [Read more...] about Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – August 2022
