Presidents’ Points April 2021

| 2021, April, Newsletter, Presidents' Points

APRIL! April showers bring May flowers–and it certainly gets me thinking about gardening and plants. This newsletter is packed with information; probably even more than we could offer at a regular club meeting. While we await that magical meeting-together-moment, study these articles at your leisure and benefit from the expertise of fellow club members. We […]

Presidents’ Points March 2021

Spring. March 20th. That seems hard to believe doesn’t it? But here it comes and it’s time to get ready! Although it’s too soon to start most seeds, there are a few exceptions. One of my early starts is caladiums. They take so long to get going because they like warm soil, so that’s what […]

Presidents’ Points February 2021

It’s February. It’s the depth of winter with cold and snow surrounding us but we’re safe and warm in our homes. Though it doesn’t seem like it, spring is creeping closer. February is the shortest month of the year, so we’ll soon be looking backwards on this winter. To get through this time of cold […]

Where to begin? At the end? Yes, it’s finally the end of the old year that brought us so much turmoil and turned our lives upside down. So let‘s happily wave good-bye to 2020 and look forward expectantly to 2021. There is much hope in the air now with vaccines on the horizon so that […]

It’s time to put your garden to bed….yes, tuck your perennials under a blanket of mulch or leaves, and put your tools away. Sit back for a moment and enjoy the peace of the upcoming holiday season. Instead of sadness caused by pandemic restrictions, savor the time to reflect on the real meaning of the […]

Presidents’ Points November 2020

| 2020, Newsletter, November, Presidents' Points

Welcome to the Illinois Dunesland Garden Club November meeting. Or at least as close as we can come to a meeting! November is Thanksgiving month so I’m trying to count my blessings. One of them is that this club, which began in 1937, is still such an active organization—even in the midst of this pandemic. […]

Presidents’ Points October 2020

| 2020, Newsletter, October, Presidents' Points

Today as I write this I am thinking about traditions and transitions. October is very much a transition month. We’re leaving the sunny, busy days of summer behind and moving into the slower, crisper days of autumn. Maybe there is a bit of sadness at losing the summer light, but there is also the anticipation […]

Pandemic.  That’s the major P word in the presidents’ points.  But there are others: postpone, people, possibility, positive… that’s just a few that come to mind.  Yes, we are living in unprecedented times calling for unprecedented actions and we in our garden club must do what is necessary in our lives right now.  So, let’s […]

Is it Time Yet?

We’re all excited about getting out of the house and getting into the garden.
Since our 'meeting' (2nd Tuesday of April) is late this month, we are sharing our article on seed starting and germination early!

Try not to get overanxious. You need to pay attention to not only the air temperature but soil temperature also.
The most important requirements for seed germination are heat and moisture, and the amount and duration of each necessary for a specific vegetable.

View from my backyard April 2021

I would have to say spring has officially sprung in my backyard. I can see ducks in the little creek that flows when it rains. The snow has melted and the warmth of the sun has given way to so many native plants starting to unfurl their leaves and reach out to touch the sun.

I hope you take some time to step outside and enjoy the beauty of the (native) nature that is awakening all around us!
