I have seasonal Attention Deficit Disorder

October 17, 2009

This post is not about gardening. It’s about almost everything else. Mostly it’s just me fessing up to my weaknesses. I, apparently, am a very predictable and cyclical person. Every year, right after the Christmas… [Continue Reading]

I’m back!

October 2, 2009

This will be brief, but I just wanted to apologize for my extended absence … that is, if anyone is still reading this! Summer sort of took hold and then next thing you know, it’s… [Continue Reading]

Grrrr

July 1, 2009

This is probably a subject more suitable for the folks over at Garden Rant but it came up in the paper today and I couldn’t believe it. Seems the folks over in Shorewood (a well-to-do… [Continue Reading]

A new look

April 29, 2009

If you’ve been here before, this page probably looks different to you. I’ve been playing around with the various blog templates, trying to find something that suits me and the subject matter. If you have… [Continue Reading]

About

The Impatient Gardener

Do you love gardening? Me too! I'm Erin and I garden in Southeastern Wisconsin, zone 5. The Impatient Gardener is all about real-life gardening: the good parts, the bad bits and even the funny stuff. It's part information, part inspiration and a little bit commiseration. Thanks for visiting.

Here's some more about me.

Last night we stopped at my parents’ house and it looked like a snow globe outside. As we were leaving the snow stopped and the sun came out. It was absolutely beautiful.

It’s really not uncommon to have a bit of snow here this time of year (and it’s my mom’s birthday so we tend to remember what the weather is like this specific day) but it still is a bummer. The good news is that it will be gone soon and Odin was happy about it. We never got really warm temps so a lot of my plants are not up yet and most things are just budding, so I’m not worried about most things and didn’t take any protective measures, but I know a lot of you are in a different situation. Hope all manages it fine in your gardens.

Yep, still love Amsonia hubrectii. In fact I’m adding more to the garden this year. I can’t get over that texture. That’s Cotinus (purple smokebush) in the back and one of @casteglass birds “flying” above.

Well, I’m still going back to the well of old pictures because there’s not a lot to show right now. I am one tired gardener this Monday. I gardened nonstop this weekend. And while these long gardening days don’t offer a lot of immediate gratification it’s views like this that make that work worth it. And when I look back at pictures like this I realize that whatever you can get done in the garden is worth it. And what doesn’t get done will be forgotten about when you enjoy a view like this.
