Grandma’s Garden is Growing!

I received a question recently from Elsa.  “What’s a garden?”, Elsa asked.  This is what I think. A garden is a place where things grow. Sometimes those ‘things’ are vegetables or fruit.  Sometimes those ‘things’ are bugs and weeds! But the best thing to grow in a garden is a child.  Children grow best when they are watered with love and time.  They grow best when their creativity is cultivated and their questions are encouraged.  …

Leaves and Me

  Do you feel happy today?  I feel happy on most days, but not every day.   On those days when I’m not so happy, I usually try to go outside and see what I can see.  Somehow I always seem to find something that makes me change my mind about how I feel.  Look what I found that made me feel happy today! So many leaves, each one unique.  Leaves come in all shapes, …

Red potatoes, white potatoes, garlic and onions,   red onions …

Happy Birthday, Johnny Appleseed!

Did you know that Johnny Appleseed was a real person?  Some people think he came from someone’s imagination, from a made up story, a fictional character.  But he was alive once just like you and me.  He loved the forest and trees of all kinds, but he especially loved apple trees.  He even enjoyed walking in among the trees in his bare feet!

My Rhubarb is feeling a little sad…

  I received a question recently from Julie.  She said her rhubarb she planted this spring is beginning to wilt.  She’s giving it plenty of water, so it’s not thirsty.  I wonder why it’s doing that?  It’s a little like solving a mystery, isn’t it?  Let’s think about what makes a plant healthy and maybe we’ll discover why this one is not looking so healthy. A plant needs four things to grow well. 1.  Water …

Too Many Raspberries? Not possible…

I received a question today from Becky regarding her raspberries.  The berries are so heavy that the tops of the bushes are falling over.  Becky wondered if staking them with taller stakes might help.  I think that’s a very good idea.  You could try that, or you could just invite some friends to come over and they could help pick the raspberries.  Then you could all sit down together, eat the berries one by one …
