    Propagating Roses

    ByMary Crozier April 15, 2020April 15, 2020

    I have always wanted to learn how to propagate roses, especially the antique ones we have at Bella Terra. With a clean potting shed (see yesterday’s post here) and sheltering in place time on my hands, I thought I would try this. Meet Quatre Saisons (Rose of the Four Seasons), R. damascene bifera). We have…

    Cleaning out the Potting Shed

    Making DIY Easter Nests

    ByMary Crozier April 8, 2020March 25, 2024

    In setting the table for Easter Sunday dinner, I needed something to make it feel more spring-like. I love birds’ nests and have a few, but don’t think it is very sanitary to actually place them at the dinner table. How difficult would it be to make some faux nests? The Royal Worcester dishes I…

    Composting 101

    ByMary Crozier April 1, 2020August 19, 2023

    Since we are all staying at home for the next 30 days, it is the perfect time to start composting. Your family’s trash can be easily and inexpensively turned into organic plant food. About 30% of what we throw away can be used to make your own rich fertilizer. We have been composting here at…
