Leaf Blower News from California and Some Lawn-Bashing in the NYTimes

Did you hear about the GREAT news from California? The legislature passed and the governor signed a law banning gas-powered leaf-blowers and lawn-mowers! (Also chain saws, weed-trimmers and golf carts.) The ban takes effect as early as 2024, when all newly sold small-motor equipment primarily used f...

Garden light

Garden light

Autumn may be the most wonderful time to enjoy the effects of light in the garden. The sun is lower and softer, and the result can be amazing. We have anything but a flat garden. It does give visitors a good initial overview, and we are sheltered from the worst winds by virtue of a huge

Halloween in the garden

Halloween in the garden

The word “hallow” derives from the Old English halig, meaning holy. All Hallows Eve, the evening before the holiness of All Saints Day (November 1st) is the night when the ghosts and ghouls come out—hence the garish plastic ghoulishness of many a suburban Halloween garden display. People used

I know: just kick everybody off Facebook but the gardeners

I know: just kick everybody off Facebook but the gardeners

Gardeners may occupy one of the more benign sectors of social media. I was thinking of this after seeing headlines citing “indisputable harm,” “rage and misinformation,” and “choosing growth over safety” in today’s Washington Post. It’s all part of the fallout over the recent release...

Why am I JUST Discovering Zinnias in Borders?

Why am I JUST Discovering Zinnias in Borders?

Zinnias at the Delaware Botanic Garden Zinnias - I'm reading everywhere about their fabulousness in attracting pollinators, especially butterflies. In fact, when I googled the topic I surprised myself by finding my very own post, from 2015. I won't repeat any of that but still recommend that

“Do You Like Fall?”

“Do You Like Fall?”

My physical therapist recently asked the question as she was prodding and poking me this week, and it illicited an immediate positive reaction from the part of me that still works very well – my mouth. But it also put me in mind of another friend (a nursery owner) who can never wait to tell

Weepers Are the Pedal Steel Guitar of the Garden

Weepers Are the Pedal Steel Guitar of the Garden

There’s nothing remotely like the pedal steel guitar. When played by a true artist, its caressing song instantly collars even the most detached listener and unceremoniously shoves them down the five flights of stairs that lead directly to an emotional reckoning.  A beautiful weeping tree adds the...

Gauging Horticulture’s Place in the General Public’s Consciousness

October 16, 2021 Cincinnati, Ohio Dear Marianne, So good to receive your letter dated September 2nd. Is it possible that it’s already October 16th? I no longer have any sense for time. Every day I grind, attention set on the items on my to-do list that, left undone, are most likely to get me fired...

If my Gardens were All-Native, there’d be Missing these Favorites

If my Gardens were All-Native, there’d be Missing these Favorites

Nonnative shrubs I've grown and loved. Recently, our English partner in GardenRanting - Anne Wareham - commented (on this post), "It would be useful for someone from the UK to know more about why native plants in America are fundamentally different from others, so that they impact

Agent Hash and the Sichuan Peppercorn

  The USDA agent introduced himself as "Mr. Hash.” I worried I was having a flashback. I struggled to avoid asking, "You’re  f #@*ing kidding me?" This is a follow up to last month’s story Sorrow and Solace in Sichuan on 9/11. I’d sent 140 seed accessions to Jelitto Perennial Seeds,

When is it OK to settle?

When is it OK to settle?

Why should we settle? There are many reasons why most of us do. We compromise or we accept the lack of one thing for the abundance of another thing. I settle all the time, especially in the garden. Part of it is being too busy or being too lazy.

The AAA of Autumnal Adventure

The AAA of Autumnal Adventure

  If pushed to admit it, and without ranting too much, autumn is my favorite gardening season, maybe about two horticulture notches ahead of spring. It is a close call; a welcome spring does follow a long winter, but then basketball is over and I gotta start mowing the grass again.
