Sneak Preview

Sneak    PreviewEach summer I'm fortunate enough to attend Campania's annual sales meeting, where the unveiling of their new product catalog/supplement takes place. The handing out of the catalog is by far the most exciting aspect of the meeting. It's also fun to hear everyone oohing and aahing over all the beautiful new designs.

Sneak    Preview
This year consumers and retailers alike won't be disappointed with the selection of products being introduced. One of my favorite collections is their Garden Terrace Collection, which was designed to meet the consumer's desire for smaller products for their home and garden.

Here's a sneak peak of some of the items that I've already fallen in love with. From new "mini" fountains in various sizes and shapes to really cool contemporary linen glazed planters, Campania has something to complement all tastes and styles!
Sneak    Preview

Look for these and their other new products this fall and next spring at retail garden centers nationwide.

Get in while the gettin's good!

Hey everyone,

There's a cool contest give-away going on sponsored by our good friends at The Big Blend Magazine and Liquid Fence. You can win a great gift bag chock-full of Liquid Fence products (like Speedy Grow, Liquid Net and more) for these dog days of summer. Very cool.

Good luck!

P.S. Our veggie/herb garden got hit by a sudden rain/wind storm last week but is still hanging in there. The veggies I tried from our garden in my homemade Ratatouille were to die for!

Going Gourd Crazy!

Going Gourd Crazy!


Going Gourd Crazy!My successes this year: my window box and gourds, gourds, gourds. All it took was a few seeds, and well, as you can see, they have been very successful. They are growing up my downspout - and now across the telephone wire! Going Gourd Crazy! These are dipper gourds that I will hopefully be drying and making into bird houses! From my garden to yours have a great day -- Kathleen

Fruit of the Vine

Fruit of the Vine Well, like many of you this summer, we're enjoying some great veggies and waiting for others to show their stuff. Our hot hot cayenne peppers are going crazy (I plucked one just a few minutes ago for an "experimental" sauce tonite I hope to survive) and the banana peppers are coming along. Our basil got rocked by the extreme heat BUT looks like they'll make it. And the cherry tomatoes are popping off the vine. Can't really say much about the tea garden because the heat has been brutal to their tender feelings.

I spray my veggies with Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit repellent (as well as here) and am happy to report victory against maurauding rabbit patrols and Bambi helping themselves to our veggies and edibles.

Oh, check out the pic of our white eggplant. I haven't tried it yet but seems like it will make a great Parmesan dish. Recipes anyone??


Enjoy!
