Violet blossoms are still my only contribution for February 2010's Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day. You can see them in my January post. Rather than take similar photos of them again, I thought I'd share what photoshop tweaking can do. You get some amazing effects with some flower photos.
During warmer months my Connecticut gardens provide a wide variety of blossoms. Not so in January, when windowsill-grown African violets take center stage.
December 1, 2009. Welcome to the last of my gardening blunder posts for 2009. I started writing about my gardening faux pas back in May. After being inspired by the outpouring of garden bloggers who post photos of what's blooming in their gardens on Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, the brainchild of Carol at May Dreams Gardens, I figured it might be fun to tweak Carol's idea a bit and declare the first of each month as Gardening Oops Day, GOOPs for short. On GOOPs Day, I rehash one of my gardening blunders, and ask other gardeners to do the same – come on, admit it, you've made some blunders too. Admittedly, GOOPs has not taken off like GBBD, but I really didn't expect it to - I don't have near the number of readers as May Dreams Gardens. Still, one person, Debbie at A Garden of Possibilities, has stood steadfastly by my GOOPs idea and joined in nearly every month. To Debbie, and others who have stopped by to add their GOOPS – thank you.
November 15, 2009. It's a stretch to find bloomers in November in south central Connecticut. Mostly you have to look low, where this thyme hugs the ground and nearby steps so it can soak up any lingering warmth.
