Daffodil Traditions
Some day it will stop raining. Today is not the day. So, to perk myself up, I've got daffodils.
Houseplants I Have Not Yet Killed
It's time for an update on my houseplant purchases from Hausermann's!
Chives: The Herb of Spring
In our house, we know it's spring when we can harvest the first chives. Perhaps it is my Norwegian heritage that likes to put chives and fish together.
Crocus: Pearls of Spring
Each day I walk the property, carefully noting signs of spring. Sometimes the changes are tiny and sometimes flowers appear out of nowhere.
Pruning Dave the Elm
Yes, it's the season - pruning season! You may be familiar with Dave the Elm from an earlier posting.

Whimsy in Plants: The Chicago Flower & Garden Show
I have the pleasure of once again working at the Chicago Flower & Garden Show.
A Taste of the Tropics
March is plodding along, so a friend and I got a taste of the tropics a few days ago at the annual open house at Orchids by Hausermann in Villa Park. Wow!!
