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

Garden Conservancy Open Days - 7/6: My garden and 4 other glorious gardens in our remote Delaware County are open to see this coming weekend. You have to go to the Garden Conservancy website and search for the date and location and register but you can do it!!! It will be a great way to spend a Saturday in the Catskills. Peggy (my amazing wife) may even make some goodies to sit and enjoy on the porch (which is our favorite viewing spot).
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. .

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.

My new rainbow butterfly garden 🌈 🦋 🌺
Discovered the last of the adorable fairy strawberries and ate them on the spot— (hope the strawberry-thieving robins were watching) you must because the moment you pick them they start to lose their magic. Not sure why, but it’s true. #catskillgardens

Is it just me or is gardening an addiction? 🤷🏻♀️🪴🌸
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

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

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.
