This month's features

1. I visit Sissinghurst Gardens

A gardener's pilgrimage, undertaken while I was in London for four days...

2. Summer Holidays!

My holidays were all about catching up with relatives - but I did manage a few sneaky garden visits. I photographed a lot of urban greenery!

3. Pink Camellia Nonie Haydon

Nonie, I don't know who you are, but I love your namesake Camellia.

4. Hamilton's Front Yard Gardens

While wandering around Hamilton, Ontario, on holiday I saw some lovely front yard gardens.

5. The Sensual Gardener - Inspired by Monty Don

My latest gardening library book has been quite an inspiration - in the sensuous sense...

6. Plant of the Month : Oranges and Lemons Rose

Here's a delightfully bright striped Sam McGredy bred rose - grow it if you dare!

7. Animals of the Month : Fluff-Fluff - Supreme Winter Gardening Cat

Fluff-Fluff is fascinated with the gardening work going on near the new shed. He provides high quality gardening cat-company, especially in winter.

8. Garden Quote : A Light Hand of Control

This quote was inspired by the gardeners at Sissinghurst Gardens, England.

9. Garden Gallery : Reflection Pool

I took this photograph of the reflection pool at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton, Ontario. Hmm... I'd love to have one of these pools...

10. Forum Focus : Gordon's Garden Tour

Gordon's tiny trailer-home garden is packed with treasures, and has recently starred in a local garden tour. Congratulations, Gordon!

11. Gardening Advice : Just Get Outside

Garden worrying - and what to do about it.

12. Searching for Moosey : garden gnomes

garden gnomes
Not one but three new garden gnomes can be found on this page of the Moosey journal. Can a country gardener have too many garden gnomes?

13. Coming up this month : A real winter month.

Ha! Now we'll see what the Moosey Head Gardener is really made of...

Cheers,
