Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Mon, 09/04/2023 - 1:21pmGardening brings me peace of mind — it soothes my soul. All the workday worries seem to melt away.
This has been a challenging year for local gardeners — a late freeze damaged both flower and vegetable gardens.
The rule of thumb, “Don’t plant anything before Memorial Day” was beaten down by a hard frost on June 20. Slowly my garden has moved forward.

Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Sun, 04/30/2023 - 2:04pmEnjoy some neighborhood cheer. I love gardening. By far, my favorite garden is in Spring. What started as a few tulips six years ago, has grown to blooms garden wide.
Spring flowers don't last long, however, they bring such joy after our long winters — especially this year's.
I invest in things that bring a smile to my face — that keep me focusing on the positive— on joy — on things I can share with others. A simple flower's bloom brings me back to feeling hope and happiness.
