October. The word itself invokes all the images of fall. Pumpkins, dried corn stalks, pretty fall leaves, bright asters and mums.

Garden Fairies Have Questions
Garden fairies here. We are garden fairies and we have questions. No, we do not have questions about these plants. We know what they are, why they are, who they are, where they are, and how they are. We are garden fairies. What we have questions about are some mysterious stakes that Carol pounded into the back lawn, the sea of green, the Green Ocean, that great and vast area that many a garden fairy has crossed to get from one side of the garden to the other. And now, smack dab in … [Read more...] about Garden Fairies Have Questions

Garden Fairies Provide Updates
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.

Dr. Hortfreud Discusses Obsessions
A visit with Dr. Hortfreud, my therapist for all things gardening. Hello, Carol. I'm pleased to see you... what's on your mind today? Hello, Dr. Hortfreud. Not much on my mind today. Just thought I'd stop by for a friendly visit. Oh, well, in that case, do you mind if I refer to my notes and ask you a few questions? Um, okay. Carol, I see that you've recently become obsessed—more obsessed—than usual with violas and all members of the Viola genus.
