First Crocus Called To Me Said Spring is here. Called my name loud and clear. Said time is wasting. Get to work. Buds are everywhere. Second Crocus… All of these pictures were taken on this one Sunny Sunday. I’m linking with Karen at My Little Home and Garden for Sunlit Sunday and with [...]
The Pond Garden or Garden Pond started as an idea. Here it is in 2011 The pond is always . . . THE main focal point. It serves well as My Little Oasis . . . always changing through the years. Here [...]
Please click the tab above, “The Gardens of NHGarden” to view some photos of our gardens. I really could do this all day… Here’s the domino effect. So I’ve been admiring many other blogs that display permanent pages of their garden photos. Thanks to Debra of Gardens Inspired, who inspired me to actually start this. I [...]
I still remember how I felt as I headed for the entrance to Fuller Gardens this past summer. Oh, such a picturesque entrance with a sea of fragrant, fresh roses just beyond! The fee was quickly paid, and in case you were wondering, the garden’s worth every penny. I was handed a brochure, and we were told [...]
In the twelve months this year, my garden gave to me… 12 clump divisions 11 plants from cuttings 10 frequent fliers 9 chives displaying 8 goldfish swimming 7 lilies blooming 6 Kopper Kings 5 mossy things 4 busy bees 3 hoverflies 2 little [...]
Here’s a little something for Thanksgiving… My daughter took these pictures of our Turkey Tails in October. Turkey Tails are commonly found on stumps or other rotting wood… and we have plenty. We learned these were called Turkey Tails from Dan the Mushroom Man http://www.marchedimanche.com/2011/10/my-mushroom-man.html I have linked to Mary at The Little Red House. She hosts [...]
I joined Carolyn of This Grandmother’s Garden for Autumn Walks, though I confess I strayed at times, getting sidetracked to weed and plant. And of course now is the perfect time for moving plants. Our Incrediball Hydrangea had to be moved for many reasons, which you really don’t want to hear now. It just had to [...]
Ready or not it is October and the Fall season has arrived. So what is blooming here at NHGarden? The question should be, “What is NOT blooming?” I mean seriously there is a lot that is NOT blooming now. I have made a point of going out in the yard each day, and did manage [...]
It’s been raining a lot. Everything is soaked and mosquitoes are out in force like I haven’t seen in years. Thought I’d take this opportunity to write with no real subject in mind… Just some blah blah blah on this and that. There is no deadline. Nothing that must be written here. Yet it is a little [...]
Elderberry was bigger than ever in June. Now it is heavy with elderberries. I was grateful for Milkweed in July. A closer look. And the promise for more next year. Because it brings Monarchs. This photo was taken in August. Black-Eyed Susans photo taken in August. Woodland Sunflower is [...]
I wanted to have a way to view my daylily collection with their names. There are 39 of my daylilies shown in the chart below. They are in alphabetical order. I did not include any that have not bloomed here yet. Hopefully I will get some good photos of the following next year: Ruby Sentinel, [...]
There are two sides to every story. Clara Curtis Daisies go crazy this time of year. The sun shines brightly on them and through them. Vermont Abalone Daylily blooms gracefully against a September sky… and softly in front of a rock. I grew these Geraniums from cuttings. They just got their second wind. Yellow tipped orange [...]
This was one of my recent observations: When it comes to my roses… They also loved the leaves of our grape vines and cherry trees, but that is another story. I’m still finding Japanese Beetles on my Sunny Knockout Roses. Apparently Japanese Beetles are more attracted to roses that are light colored and fragrant. Other roses above [...]

Glowing bright Splashing white much needed here Growing among rocks Overflowing everywhere Popping up in Phox Combining with Russian Sage Contrasting Coleus Mix Budding at this late stage Shooting stars after six Volunteering by the stream Reaching up as if Adhering to a theme Leaning yet unbending Tending to what flies Marking Summer’s Ending Sharing Garlic Chives.
