Hello all. Mrs. ON Gardener here. Maybe in most households, women are more often the gardeners and flower-tenders than men. But not in mine, and I couldn’t be happier about it. I’m so lucky that I get to enjoy colorful, lush perennial gardens around the perimeter of my home, parrot tulip bouquets on my desk in spring, herbs and vegetables plucked steps from the dinner table in summer and red-berried branches to gaze upon outside the window in fall, all without having to get dirty or mingle with any critters.
This season brings the promise of new and exciting things around here. I can’t wait for strawberries and lettuce, a full cutting garden (I’m really excited about this one) and hopefully lots of hummingbirds flocking to our new feeder. I’ll be following Mr. ONG right along with you, and plan to step in once in a while with a recipe or two (strawberry and goat cheese bruschetta, anyone?) and lots of photos.
Thanks for reading along so far. We both spend our days inside in an office building and I’m well aware that given the opportunity he’d much rather be gardening full time. Until then, I’m so happy he can share his obsessive neurotic-ness with all of us.
