    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier April 7, 2023April 8, 2023

    Happy Easter weekend! I love this time of year and have such happy memories of this holiday. Dad would buy us corsages to pin on our new spring coats. Dressing up for church in hats and gloves and Mom’s homemade lamb cake after dinner. Signs of spring would be popping up in Connecticut and winter…

    Gathering Seeds

    ByMary Crozier July 6, 2021July 5, 2021

    It is time again for our monthly blog hop where my fellow gardening buddies share news from their gardens. Most gardens around the country are now abundant with fruits and vegetables.

    Hollyhocks and a Gift for You

    ByMary Crozier April 24, 2018

    We have an ABUNDANCE of hollyhocks growing in our yard.  This is the closest thing to Jack and the Beanstalk~~as this small seed grows into a plant that is 10-12 feet tall. All the garden books suggest they grow to 8 feet, however, ours are so much taller. I’m 5’4″ and you can see this…
