This month, in honor of GOOPS or Gardening Oops, I have a major gardening faux-pas to own up to. Yes, we all make mistakes and hopefully can learn from the shared knowledge of what works and what doesn’t in other bloggers gardens – that is the impetus behind GOOPs started by Joene Hendry. But this month, my GOOPs [...]

It’s the first day of the month which means it’s time to post another Gardening OOPs (GOOPs) that we all make but usually are reluctant to share.

This month, in celebration of those gardening mistakes, or GOOPs!, we all seem to make, I’ve decided to share a victory of sorts over a big GOOPs I thought I’d made back in 2008. To make a long story short, I bought a crape myrtle, Lagerstromia indica ‘Tuscarora’, that was border-line cold hardy for my southwestern Connecticut [...]

GOOPs: Buyer Beware

I know many gardener’s feel that if you’re not killing a few plants each season, you’re doing something wrong. Honestly, I don’t subscribe to that mantra. I’m not saying I’m a perfect gardener, but I really don’t kill too many plants. I can probably count on both hands the number of plants I’ve killed over the [...]
