About SarahJane

I've been gardening in some form or another for 36 years. I'm not an expert, but I have a lot of experience! Most has been through trial and error! I learn from my mistakes most of the time. I struggle with procrastination and am hoping this blog will snap me out of it. If my friends ask about my garden, I want to be able to say that I worked very hard on it and have pictures to prove it.

Maybe I'm just dealing with the winter blahs.

My garden needs a lot of work this year. I have to re-edge everthing. It always looks so nice after its done, but that is strenuous work. Many of my perennials need to be divided and transplanted....and you all know how that goes.

I just can't wait to see some daffodills and tulips peeping through the ground. That will definitely make me feel better.

Summer's here
I have finished my 16 weeks of chemotherapy. I'm glad that is over, but now I have the surgery facing me. I am getting a little anxious about that, but know that they will knock me out and do all the work. I pray that none of my friends have to go...

So Glad It's Spring
Hello, my friends. I am sorry that I've been away from garden guides for so long. I have not been well lately and have been very busy going to the doctor, having tests done, and now going for chemotherapy treatments. I move from a stark reality to d...

The Bloomin' Mums
Here they are in all their glory. And also a Rainbow which took my breath away the other day! I bought some red mums to go in the blank spots where the peonies were, but haven't taken picture yet. Have fun in the dirt! SJ
