We are garden fairies and we decided to write a post to warn everyone that Carol is getting up quite early to work in the garden these days.

Well, at least she did today. We aren't sure if this will continue but Granny Gus McGarden, our favorite garden fairy who pretty much runs the Vegetable Garden Catheral was startled to see Carol sauntering out to the garden early

I went to the local greenhouse to get some more containers of Geranium 'Rozanne', which I have somehow fallen in love with this spring.

I knew when I went to the greenhouse I was going to buy the plants, and I knew I was going to buy those plants from them because I already bought some from them earlier but needed more, and they were kind and gracious enough to add some to their latest

We are garden fairies and we cannot remember when we last posted on this blog but we know it was a while ago.

We are a little miffed that readers didn't clamor for us to write something sooner but we will get over it and besides we are far too busy to spend time here on this blog. After all, it is spring and we have flowers to open up all over the garden, including this

I took my tree to Tree Court.

I'm breaking up with it.

Me: Your Honor, this tree has not performed its tree duties in the almost seven years it has been taking up residence in my garden.  It refuses to have flaking bark like other paperbark maple trees and has barely grown since it was planted.  At one point, Your Honor, my sister thought it was a weed tree that I just let grow there.

It's been a glamorous week in the garden.

I spent time nearly every day this past week digging out compost from my three compost bins on the east end of the Vegetable Garden Cathedral. Those bins are right where I plan to put a new flower border.
