Episode 92 – Planning Your Garden 2022

Are you planning your garden for 2022? If you’ve been listening for a while, you know I love my garden. I’ll be leaving it behind, of course, when we sell this house and move on. March is when my first blooms appear in my garden, bloomless since September. For the winter I do have the skeletal gardens and multi-color dogwood shrubs to tide me over.

The garden episode will be an annual tradition now, to come out in February or March to spark a bit of joy.


Here are a handful of images from my garden, my big experiment. I hope someone else will keep it up, but I doubt it.

Looking up the hill, September. Mats of dianthus, heliopsis, hydrangeas, boltonia -- yellow and pink flowers.

September sun on the Heliopsis (I think?)
A close-up of clusters of white hydrangea flowers with pink edges.
One of the many hydrangeas- a paniculata variety.  I can’t remember which. 
A close up of deep red daylily flowers.
I bought so many daylily varieties in Carlisle years ago when the farm was closing down.  I got some great reds.  The garden is a lily-palooza in July especially, with varieties in bloom from early June to October. 

I hope these images inspired you as you think about planning your garden for 2022! What will you be planting?
