In this mess…

September 2, 2012 By Carol Michel 11 Comments

Raphanus sativus Did you know that the flowers of Raphanus sativus come in several colors, including in my garden, purple, white, and pink? I did not know that until I went out to the vegetable garden yesterday to pick whatever was ready to pick before the big rains came. Oh, the big rains? There really hasn't been a big rain so far this weekend. There were a few scattered showers here and there, but they hardly left a drop in the rain gauge and we have so far gotten nowhere near the three, … [Read more...] about In this mess…

Guest post: Garden fairies celebrate

August 18, 2012 By Carol Michel 10 Comments

Garden fairies here. We are garden fairies and we assume that everyone knows that whenever a mushroom pops up in the garden, it is a sure sign that the garden fairies will soon be gathering for a big party. Did you get your invitation to the party?  You surely did if you are celebrating the rain like we garden fairies are.  In fact, even if you didn't get an invitation, you are invited anyway. We are garden fairies and invitations are strictly optional because we really don't have … [Read more...] about Guest post: Garden fairies celebrate

2000th Post

August 13, 2012 By Carol Michel 20 Comments

Plopper's Field before the Drought of  '12 The garden fairies have been waiting and watching all weekend to see what I was going to write for the 2000th post on my blog.  They are not very patient, as a rule, and can take over my laptop as quick as a hornworm can devour a tomato vine, if I let them.   Though it is tempting to find out what the garden fairies would have written for the 200th post, I'm going to write this post. (Garden fairies here. Yes, let's have Carol thinks … [Read more...] about 2000th Post

Time to celebrate

August 11, 2012 By Carol Michel 12 Comments

Dendranthema 'Cool Igloo' We have agreement from everyone here at May Dreams Gardens that rain is a real difference maker in the garden.  This agreement amongst everyone is a bit surprising because not everyone agrees on everything around here.  We sometimes have quite the discussions, but that's a story for another day. Rain is especially a real difference maker when it has been absent from the garden for, by my accounting, dang near three months.  And those three months were … [Read more...] about Time to celebrate

Guest Post: Garden Fairies Declare Christmas in August

August 6, 2012 By Carol Michel 11 Comments

Garden fairies here. We are garden fairies and we are celebrating Christmas in August on account of over two inches of rain fell on the garden early this morning.   We are not sure of the accuracy of our rain gauge, so we are hesitant to exclaim that there was actually a full two and a half inches of rain  because that might not be right and we garden fairies pride ourselves on being right and accurate and not exaggerating, ever. We are always truthful.  We are so truthful … [Read more...] about Guest Post: Garden Fairies Declare Christmas in August
