February 9, 2018

For many years we had our driveway plowed. Mostly it was great: The neighbor who did the plowing always did ours first because he knew we had to get to work early, it was cleared… [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.

I did a lot of rather “involved” winter containers this year so this super simple, throw-it-there-and-call-it-good container is sort of refreshing in its simplicity. #wintercontainers #containgardening #gardening #holidayseason #simpleisbeautiful #theimpatientgardener
Not only did the veg garden get a cute holiday outfit, I also bought it a really nice present yesterday: a big order with a local nursery for a project I’m equal parts excited and nervous about. I love that this vegetable garden has pushed me to try things that are out of my comfort zone (like the stock tank pond). Keeps me on my toes!
I love my vegetable garden so much, and I think it’s beautiful even when there’s nothing growing in it. It’s just a simple garland and a Costco wreath but it’s so charming to me. This area makes a cameo on the video I put up on YouTube today. #veggarden #holidaydecorating #gardenarbor #garland #wreath #deckthehalls #theimpatientgardener
I fell in love with curly willow and fantail willow and used as much of it as I had for this container. Wired on a bunch of pine cones and filled in with greens and lights. Video one how it all came together up soon (tonight or tomorrow morning). #wintercontainers #containerdesign #holidaydecorating #outsidecheer #willow #theimpatientgardener
