THIS YEAR’S MASTER SEED LIST

March 15, 2017

Since I started growing plants from seeds in earnest a few years ago the amount of plants I produce has increased almost exponentially. That is only problematic from a space standpoint. I plant or have… [Continue Reading]

NO MATTER THE FUSS, SWEET PEAS ARE WORTH IT

August 6, 2015

This spring I grew more flowers from seed than I ever have before. The process was incredibly rewarding and I feel like my garden looks better than it ever has, in part due to all… [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.

The morning sun makes Aralia ‘Silver Umbrella’ glow. This is a very difficult to find grafted, variegated variety that perfectly hugs the north corner of our deck. Below it Incrediball hydrangea is starting to form flower buds.
I got my new drone last night and had just enough battery power to quickly throw it up for a herky jerky first run. It’s nothing fancy and I wasn’t really trying to film anything in particular but thought you might enjoy the view, particularly of the climbing hydrangea, which is looking gorgeous.
Let’s take a closer look at a little corner of the garden just off the patio. It will be a couple weeks before it’s really coming into its own. Swipe for closeups and names of what’s all here. Somehow the dahlias I put here didn’t end up in any pictures, but I have a short orange dahlia called Melody Swing planted in here as well.
Why yes, that is Swiss chard growing right at the front of my patio bed with all the dahlias and nicotiana and other goodies. And, assuming I can fend off ambitious rabbits or other critters, I think it’s going to be really good. Stay tuned. 😀
