Isn’t it time you accessorized your garden?

by Tricia

In my part of the world many of us are only dreaming about our gardens since they are still covered in snow or if not covered in snow the ground is still to cold to begin to work in. Still … many of us are probably beginning to think about what we’ll plant in our gardens this year, and if you’re like me your probably getting a little stir crazy indoors.

I certainly can’t wait for Spring to get here!

If you’re a gardener or perhaps hoping to start your first garden this year you’re probably busy making lists of plants you want to get for your garden, and starting some seeds indoors. While plants are the main feature of the garden don’t forget the accessories.

You can give your garden it’s own style or infuse a little more of your personality or even your sense of humor with garden decor an ornaments.

The article that I’m including below talks about how to accessorize your garden. Have you accessorized? I’d love to hear what you’ve done or even see some pictures!

I wonder how many of my neighbors grow toxic plants?

by Tricia

I think I’m going to have to become an expert at picking out toxic plants.

When we take our puppy for walks she tries to investigate everything and often tries to taste everything she encounters. I don’t know how many small stones I’ve pulled out of her mouth!

Now that the cold weather is here the plants in peoples gardens have all withered up and I can’t tell what the heck they are. As a result going near enough to any plant to taste it is taboo for our little pup.

It’s bad enough that I have some very toxic plants in my own garden, but since I haven’t been walking around the neighborhood much this year, now that I’m out everyday walking around the neighborhood I have no idea what everyone else has been growing or whether it might be harmful to my pup if she tries to taste their plants.

I guess for proper dog walking etiquette it’s best anyway if she’s not wandering onto everyone’s lawn to investigate their gardens.

For those of you with dogs how do you keep them out of the plants? – your own or your neighbors.
