Catskill Gardens
With so many obstacles—deer, groundhogs, rabbits, bears, cold long winter, unpredictable weather—gardening in the Catskills is not a piece of cake. But with a little perseverance and patience, the rewards are spectacular!
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
Flowers, doing their amazing job of bringing joy. Much needed. #garden #catskillgardens #gardener #flowerpots #annuals #flowersofinstagram #flowergarden #colorcomposition #flowerjoy #forthebees #forthehummingbirds #forthesoul
freshly painted and patiently waiting. we have already been working for a month sneaking in days here and there, but it looks like the elusive spring of the Catskills has given us a few more days of rest. I’ll take it, even though I’m bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and ready to get started for real.

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).
I call this one - collection of late summer veggies. The found #beet. The #carrots 🥕 that somehow managed to survive, and #kale 🥬 that thrived. #backyardgarden #latesummer #catskills #upstateny #catskillgardens #veggies #puttingup #canning #preserving
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
First turnips of the season!
My little veggie garden with a few flowers is ALIVE!! Can’t believe it! HappyMonday! #springgardening #seedlings #tinygarden #catskillgardens #mountaingirl #mycyclinglifestyle
Scenes from the garden. Every year the plants put on a different show with many of the same characters while new stars emerge… the veg garden is prepped and planned for a tightly packed cohabitation of greens, cucumbers, tomatillos, corn, squash beans, and of course tomatoes. Then any inch not filled will have flowers. The Chestnut tree blooms at the stream looking like some fantastical planet earth we live on.

Liking this color combo. Interested to see how it will look in a few weeks. #catskillgardens #containergardens
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.

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
Golden light shining on all the new grasses and shrubs we picked up pondside_nursery for the backbone of the new red house gardens.

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. .

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

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. 🙏👌
