Pink astilbe in two tubs that flank my side garden path. It is deep shade and very dry there between the large oak trees and buildings, so I am only able to grow them in containers that I keep well watered. The soil is pretty much straight clay soil that I dug from my yard. They stay in there happily year round. #gardendc #astilbe #pinkflowers #dmv #containergardening #urbangarden #citygarden #picoftheday #nofilter #dcgardens (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CebVeu0OPiy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Life! The garden has produced first fruit first vegetable, to be exact first perfectly round, pink radish and if that burst of new birth wasn't exciting enough the peas are pushing through fast and furious reaching toward the sun demanding the fresh air, thirsting. Garden parties will be on soon who's coming over? . . . #garden #gardening #dcgardens #dcasfuck #dclife #igdc #backyardgarden #radish #radishes #diy #growyourfood #growyourown #dirt #getdirty (at Columbia Heights) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwb3ViOHiO8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bs741q8ha7om

Happy spring! Are you feeling that itch to get out and garden? Do you need a gift for a new homeowner or gardening friend’s birthday or thinking ahead to Mother’s Day? May I suggest one or both of these two new books? The Urban Garden is all about small space gardening solutions and Groundcover Revolution is about turfgrass lawn replacement ideas including 40+ plant profiles. I’ll be signing them at @homesteadgardens in Davidsonville, Md, this a Saturday 3/25 from 10am-2pm. Both books will be for sale there for $27 each and you can find me in the “book corner” near the workshop class area. I’ll also be giving a short talk and signing books at @busboysandpoets in Takoma DC on Sunday 4/2 at 5pm. Reservations suggested for that busboys one as seating is limited. #gardendc #dmv #dcgardens #spring #gardening (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqD_Bkgu3-A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My Hellebores are looking fabulous after yesterday’s rains. They are a highlight of my #wintergarden and one of the ways I have something in bloom every day of the year. #gardendc #dmv #igdc #dcgardens #hellebore #lentenrose #winterflowers (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/ComwGSUubq-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
