Since most of the country is buried under a pile of snow, gardening seems like it’s so far off we could cry. So this week is Gardening Week at The Impatient Gardener. I’ll be posting only Gardening-related posts, but if you want to know the latest on house stuff check out the Facebook page because I’ll be updating reno stuff ...
Gallery walls are all over the place these days, and I’ll admit that I’ve succumbed to the gallery wall hype. I’m actually working on a mini gallery wall in the upstairs hallway.

Raspberry Blast with Gold Dust and Snow Princess on the front steps. Narrowly missing the “best of” list was Petunia Raspberry Blast. I never really liked this petunia much in the past. It ...
I tried several new-to-me plants this summer and found several real winners in the bunch. These are the plants I’ll find a way to incorporate into the garden next year. 5.
