Appreciate each and every day.

Hello friends, it is with great excitement that I announce that today I have made it to a ripe young 34 years! Really, the fact that it is my birthday is not that important, but that as I get older I find out many things about myself. I grew up in a small farming community in South Carolina. Just outside of Orangeburg, there is a small dot on the map called Bolentown. There is a general…

Sunshine

I have to tell you, I am an eternal optimist, but the one thing that can drag me down is a gloomy and gray day. So I am sitting here looking at posts and blogs when I get a note from Polly saying she enjoys my posts and at that very moment the sun started to show thru my back window. Coincidence? Probably, but it helped me realize that just as gardens need rainy days and sunny days to thrive, so do we as people. A nice sunny day can save a crop, and I believe a nice sunny smile can save a… Continue

Cabin Fever

Hello to all here at Garden Asheville! My name is Will and I have lived in WNC for 8 years now. I grew up in South Carolina and lived in Georgia and Charlotte before moving to Arden. I now live in beautiful Alexander! This year will be my second garden since moving to the mountains and I am so excited I cannot stand myself. I do love the mountains, but I am really getting a bit aggravated with the nice weather for a day or two then some cooky cold front swings through. Why can't we just get on… Continue

At 7:36pm on April 17, 2008, Dry Stack Ridge said…: My husband Jim grew up in Clemson, my first husband (deceased) grew up in the Mullins/Dillon area. Come up to Dry ridge where we are building the house & check out the gardens. In a few weeks the hostas will be nice & the astillbees blooming. My husband likes tiger fans.

At 5:52pm on April 27, 2008, Dry Stack Ridge said…: Tiger Fan,
Loved your pictures, my favorite was the one you did for your wife. Try some Mexican sunflowers in your garden this summer.

At 8:29am on April 29, 2008, Dry Stack Ridge said…: Have you & your wife ever grown asparagus? We did our first bed 2 yrs ago & its coming up now. Is it too early for me to plant my tomatoes?

At 11:22am on April 29, 2008, Polly McDaniel said…: Hey Tiger, you got anything in that garden that you're worried about with the possible freeze tonight?

At 8:43am on May 2, 2008, Donald Dossey, Ph.D. said…: TigerFan. thanks for inquiry re Men's Garden Club. Give me a call and we'll talk. Donald

At 7:04am on May 3, 2008, Polly McDaniel said…: Hey Tiger, I see that you were checking in with Donald about the Men's Garden Club. You would love it. They have their own greenhouse and do service projects, plant sales and the meetings usually have a guest speaker for an informative talk. A lot of these guys are retired but not all of them and they just impress me so much with their gardening knowledge.

At 5:51pm on May 20, 2008, GardenThymeGirl said…: Sure is quiet in Tiger land....hope everything is going well for you. It would be great to visit and see your garden sometime--I bet Polly would want to come also.

At 9:42pm on May 21, 2008, GardenThymeGirl said…: It's great to have you back! I shot you an e-mail earlier. Are you and your wife going to Garden Jubilee in Hendersonville this weekend? I hope to make it--I'm also trying to do a plant rescue Sunday. I gave away some of my prized Jack in the Pulpit plants to my neighbor--these were huge beautiful plants. I installed a boulder rock garden with native wild flowers for him. The Jack in the Pulpit was a gift to him because I knew he would love them. Polly will be gone for four days--15th anniversary.
