Intrigued with the noticeable swelling pod to this morning’s delightful bloom, I simply had to share. My infatuation with Anemone happened when I noticed a peculiar pod in a planter sitting on the front stoop. Longing for a brief winter in anticipation of finishing a specific garden project, I began to watch this quiet metamorphosis in a forgotten pot. Finally – much […]

Purple in the Garden of Life https://cottageinthecourt.com/allaboutthegardenlife/purple-in-the-garden-of-life/ https://cottageinthecourt.com/allaboutthegardenlife/purple-in-the-garden-of-life/#respond Sat, 30 Dec 2023 19:43:44 +0000 https://cottageinthecourt.com/?p=9080 Purple in the garden is revered and truly should not go unnoticed. Ever since I watched the original movie, The Color Purple, inspired me to include purple in my garden for what it represents.

To encourage strong growth above ground, one must attend to the roots. Good soil allows roots to move freely, take hold, and absorb all the benefits available. An event last year encouraged me to dig deeper and uncover unknown facts about roots. Not just any roots, but MY ROOTS.

Sounds simple but there are a few methods to this value added way of increasing the fruits of one’s labor as we learn to grow in […]
