These days as the garden takes over my life. I'm almost relieved when the weather becomes too darn hot to work in the dirt.

This year I had great success with Canterbury bells from the seedlings I planted the previous year. I'm not sure if any of my blogging friends ever met Ramona, the good goose. She was given to me by a passer-by who had too many geese on her farm. She is a real beauty!

We rarely do art shows anymore, after 30 years of traveling around setting up booths and checking into hotels, leaving the farm unattended; we were tired of it all. I do nearly all my business online now, with monthly "ART" shows on youtube featuring my latest work. My last batch of birds went out in May.

I also take special orders that interest me, this chap is now living in the Library in a wonderful Historic home in upstate NY. His new mistress is a very interesting woman and something of a celebrity from Netflix and now on Youtube...

       My goodness, has it been 2 years since I posted here?!! I doubt anyone visits this blog anymore. But I think I will keep myself in the loop, just because this blog meant a lot to me for many years.

Spring is arriving here in the Hollow and I am  trying to keep up with over 10 gardens as they begin their lovely new growth in pots, tubs and earth.

 This year I'm determined to have success with my Sweet peas and Hollyhocks. I will be experimenting with dozens of  varieties and planting in several ways.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

 

 

A new passion for ROSES has increased the rose population here in Hopalong Hollow to 87 roses and we are hoping for the sweet and spicy scents to permeate the air this coming season.

 

 

 This is Raspberry Twirl.

 (stock picture, hope ours will look like this!)

 

Last year was marvelous for blooms, Peonies, Dahlia and Annuals were the Showgirls of the garden.

 Thats all for now.... see you on my youtube channel:

Hello to you all!

 I know I don't post here on the Gazette too often... but I still love this little Blog. I make almost all my content on YouTube at  Jeri Landers of Hopalong Hollow.

 

 

Welcome to our Kitchen! 

 

 

               

  Hope you'll waddle on over to Youtube for a new video..

    Hello to those of you who still visit here on this lonely little blog. It seems I spend a lot more time making videos on You Tube these days, so I guess that is my own fault. Anyway, for those who don't visit the youtube vids; please take a look at these last 2 entries on planting Antique Flowers from seed.
