With so many obstacles—deer, groundhogs, rabbits, bears, cold long winter, unpredictable weather, etc.—gardening in the Catskills is not a piece of cake. But with a little perseverance and patience, the rewards are spectacular!
Tomato bounty at Wildcat Gardens, bumper crop! Mary starts these from seeds and grow lights, amended soil, and supplements, and this is the fruit of her labors! She's a master gardener, I just chill in the chaise lounge drinking lemonade and watch her work! Lucky to have married a farm girl!#catskill nature#catskillsmountains #claryvilleny #claryville #catskillmountains #catskillfarms #catskillgardens

New vegetable garden built and planted. #catskillgardens #catskillslove #upstate #gardening #gardensbytrista
I know is it odd to open a post with a mass of gooseneck loosestrife (Lysimachia clethroides), the dreaded plant that I warn everyone to keep out of their garden. However, in a situation where I want a dense groundcover where there is nothing else that will require little to no weeding, it is great. it will hold a bank, looks good all season and even providing beautiful fall color. My clients call it the soufflé because it often has a fluffy/lumpy top that looks, well, like a soufflé.
some photos of my garden today. I actually love the late fall garden before it gets beaten down with a wet snow. I went around to numerous clients today to see if they need any touch ups and I was happy just to see them in their natural fall state. some melted plants can be cut back; the Aralia 'Sun King' for instance, and a few other things. it is so interesting that since I have been doing this we went from collecting all of the leaves, cutting nearly everything back and leaving it all tidy, leaving not that much to do in the spring. now I love seeing the natural fall beauty and the spring cleanup is much more satisfying (while being a lot more work 😮)
The orchestration of summer is building its tempo. Wildflowers, perennials, the Dahlia tubers I kept safe in a cooler all winter and the sunflowers I sowed in March all work together now, supporting the bees hummingbirds and butterflies. It’s such a sense of joy to look over what I’ve so carefully tended.
Golden light shining on all the new grasses and shrubs we picked up pondside_nursery for the backbone of the new red house gardens.
Flowers, doing their amazing job of bringing joy. Much needed. #garden #catskillgardens #gardener #flowerpots #annuals #flowersofinstagram #flowergarden #colorcomposition #flowerjoy #forthebees #forthehummingbirds #forthesoul

Very fully summer in the Catskills. Come on up and sweat like mad then go jump in the creak across the street 💦

This saturated and stormy August has been a bit of a damper on our foraging & outdoor work but our gardens are absolutely thriving in it. The tropicals we interplanted with the grasses and shrubs are bursting with all the humidity and moist soil. The Red House looks like it’s beginning to be engulfed by the garden and that’s just the way we like it. .
A drawing about optimism. And about gardening in the Catskills. For chronogram magazine a few years back. Thanks to David Perry and Brian Mahoney. #gardenlife #gardening #animalartist #deer #outdoorplants #yardwork #catskillgardens
May Day! Thanks to barnett.eva and lebretteur for preparing the beds, turning the compost, and lighting the way. Looking forward to new growth. Some #catmint and #columbine are up. New surprises to come from wildyarrowfarm
Roof rafters in place! It’s been slow going when it seems like only a few hours go by with out rain for the last couple months. #snakethorne #gardenhouse #timberconstruction #windowhouse #tinyhouse #catskills #greatnortherncatskills #hudsonvalleygardens #catskillgardens

My client did this beautiful barn renovation so that the "barn bed" that has daffodils, daylilies and Black-eyed Susans providing a succession of blooms, really sings, especially tiered with the goosies. We just extended the barn trifecta bed to the end of the new wall.
The meadowish treatment, clearly visible in the 5th photo was an experiment with interspersing different grasses and forbs into an existing hay field to see if we could get something nice without having to kill everything first and go through the whole meadow creation drama. It is OK I think.

To make a praire it takes a clover and one bee.
One clover, and a bee.
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
if bees are few.
Dandelions are among the first sips of spring available to our bee friends, and largely set the tone for how the season will go. No dandelions, no bees, no pollination, no garden.
Wait for these guys to go to seed before mowing or pulling, the bees will thank you by energetically pollinating your garden and giving you a bountiful harvest. 🙏👌
