Live in Each Season

September 29, 2019 by Ogee

“Live in each season as it passes.” ~ Henry David Thoreau Having lived through the wet of winter, the erratic fits of spring, and the scorching heat of summer, it is time to rejoice in the mosaic of fall. I love the chaos of the fall garden. All the little starts and shoots have grown tall and wild. Their well-defined contours are now a tangle of color and cascading form. They lay all over each other like summer camp friends […]

Yellow: The Color of Summer

July 22, 2018 by Ogee

Nothing says summer like the color yellow. The spring garden is full of pink, lilac, blue and white. In the autumn, I want depth: oranges, reds, deep purples, golds. But yellow is for summer. This shaggy rudbeckia grandiflora thrives and returns each year where others fail. It is beautiful in a chaotic, messy way – as if it couldn’t be bothered to fully dress itself or comb its hair in the morning. “Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.” ~ […]

Return to the Garden

October 1, 2017 by Ogee

“Where will you begin?” she asked. “At the beginning, I guess.” This sign was posted over our shed door. The weeds are indeed laughing. Two hours after the last puppy of Irish’s litter was adopted, in rolled the van with six more! I can’t show them to you due to a promise we made to the kind human who brought them to us. She saw that they were in need and intervened. We won’t give her up as she may […]

Summer Upon Us

May 21, 2017 by Ogee

Everybody in the pool! The dog days of summer are upon us. We’re getting a taste this weekend of what promises to be a long hot summer. In the morning, everyone is busy trying to get in their work, play – and tussles before the heat calls for a long, lazy nap. The good news: as the thermometer brushes 100-degrees, the searing sun kills the black spot fungus spores that have invaded our roses. Never before have we been faced […]

When All Is New Again

April 23, 2017 by Ogee

“April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.” ~William Shakespeare The garden in April is both young and old. New friends appear… Old friends are reborn. The season was never over. It was just waiting for us to find it again. From cold ground covered in earth and leaves, springs forth our long-lost friends looking new and refreshed; ready to write another season – another chapter in our garden’s journey. “Age is opportunity no less, Than youth itself, though […]
