As the Leaves Turn, Season 1, Final Episode

November 14, 2013 By Carol Michel 11 Comments

"As the Leaves Turn" is a soap opera for gardeners brought to you by our sponsors. When we last left our gardener, at the end of Episode 3, she had just received her long-for package and had rushed inside to open. In this final episode, our gardener is standing in her kitchen, staring down at the box, imagining what is inside of it. She slowly turns the box from end to end, side to side, examining it closely. She then takes out a knife out, carefully slices through the tape holding the box … [Read more...] about As the Leaves Turn, Season 1, Final Episode

New Hoe! The Broot Garden Weeder

June 1, 2013 By Carol Michel 6 Comments

Want to see my new hoe? It's called the Broot Garden Weeder and it is a brute of a hoe. It's sturdy, strong, and sharp. It even has a warning on the label to keep it away from little kids who might not realize that the blade is sharp. It is made like a stirrup hoe so it works in both directions. Push it forward to cut off some of your big, tough weeds.  Pull it back through the soil to cut through regular weeds. Like most open hoes, it doesn't move all the dirt around. It cuts through … [Read more...] about New Hoe! The Broot Garden Weeder

Hoe Test Plot

August 9, 2012 By Carol Michel 9 Comments

Hoe Test Plot Every gardeners needs a hoe test plot, a place to try out a new hoe or any hoe in their collection and see how well it works. My hoe test plot just happens to be an area left open in the patio so I could plant something in it.  However, I haven't planted anything in it, so some weeds moved in, mostly thistle and thankfully not bindweed, making it a Hoe Test Plot. This may not be the best location for a Hoe Test Plot, but it works for me, for now.  All it needs is a … [Read more...] about Hoe Test Plot

I have more hoes than Santa Claus

December 21, 2011 By Carol Michel 6 Comments

We are putting a rush in our hurry up* here at May Dreams Gardens. But even with hurrying up our rushing around, there is still time to grab the two hoes with red handles, wrap them in white streamers so they look like giant peppermint candy canes, and pose them by the fireplace. I wish I had thought of this pose earlier so I could have used this photo for my Christmas cards. But I didn't think of it until recently, so please consider this your virtual card from me to you. It is common … [Read more...] about I have more hoes than Santa Claus

Hoe Talk: Corona Oscillating Hoe

November 20, 2011 By Carol Michel 11 Comments

Welcome to Hoe Talk where we talk about hoes and other gardening tools. Here at Hoe Talk, we like to cultivate our interest in gardening hoes and dig deep into the world of shovels, trowels, and other gardening tools. Today, I'd like to address the whispers. Yes, I heard the whispers, the talk behind my back when people realized that my vast hoe collection did not include... An oscillating hoe. But no more whispers now. No more finger pointing. Thanks to the generous marketing people at … [Read more...] about Hoe Talk: Corona Oscillating Hoe
