Gardening with newspapers

Lots of gardening news today....

The Baltimore Sun reports that Baltimore Master Gardeners harvested 24 crates of greens from the new vegetable gardens around City Hall. The food will go to Our Daily Bread to feed the needy.

And Andrian Higgins writes about the remarkable gardens of Pierre and Nancy Moitrier of Annapolis. The husband-and-wife garden design team own Designs for Greener Gardens, and the gardens around their home will be open Saturday as part of The Glory of The Garden tour. (Nancy consulted with me on my most recent garden installation. She was wonderful!)

And let me not forget....I am writing about how to make good dirt in The Sun today.

Nice article. Compost is a wonderful thing.It really can help the soil. The need for fixing the problems that we have with soil just take a little time and effort. And knowing what to do to help it, that is where everything starts. Have a great day.

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
