Succulent wall planters and a  great felt wool goat puppet ( these are what Martha was buying when I met her!). Aren't they great?
I had so many good photos from last weekend's visit to the rare plant and garden antique show TRADE SECRETS in Sharon, CT, that I thought that I would share more of them. I think you may find these as inspirational as I do. Enjoy!

Growing Awesome Wisteria

May 22, 2013

( 7 comments )
My wisteria tree, is still a vine, simply trained as a tree. This takes an incredible amount of heavy pruning two or three times a year, with whips and stems often 4 or 5 feet long being removed in mid-summer, autumn and a bit in the early spring. With such care, even this young vine produces a prodigious amount of flowers.
Few plants can compare with the romance of wisteria. Even the name conjurs up romance - of palaces with dripping, violet-tinted vines cascading like waterfalls in a Disney animated film. For gardeners who are more savvy, the vine can cause dread and fear, in much the same way that a timber bamboo can, as few plants can be as invasive as an untamed wisteria, out of control and overtaking every tree and shrub in its path. Yet once can master training this vine, as it needs training. Here is how I do it.

My RSS Feed is moving to Feedly from Google

If you’re a user of Google Reader you probably know by now that Google has decided to shut down the service as of July 1, 2013. Many people, myself included, use Google Reader on a daily basis and have found it to be the best RSS reader available. Sadly (or not), it's all changing.

This post is simply to inform all of my great readers that starting this Thursday, I will be switching from Google Reader to Feedly. I'm not really a geeky type, so I am assuming that many of you are not either. Hopefully all will go smoothly. All this means is that if you get my posts sent to you in an RSS feed, most likely you are using Google Reader. If you are, then you will need to change to another reader, and will need to relink my site.

If you use Feedly or one of the many other readers, you will need to make minor adjustments. 

Any questions, or concerns, this article will help you find options.

If you just access my blog in your bookmarks, or saved the URL somewhere, nothing will change. This only affects the 1500 Google Reader fans that I have.

Thanks!

Matt
