My Top Ten Gardening Posts For The Year
A couple days ago I showed you My Top Ten DIY And Craft Posts For The Year now it's time for My Top Ten Gardening Posts For The Year. Drum roll please . . .
Where are the drums, people?
I risked life and limb to get up close and personal with poison ivy for you this year. I showed you how to identify it and how to prevent getting it. Good stuff, if I may say so myself, and my most viewed gardening post of the year.
How To Avoid Poison Ivy
Since I blog a lot about vintage and gardening, I combined those two things in my post about 6 plants that I consider to be vintage garden plants. You know, like you'd find in your grandma's garden. If your grandma was cool and hip like me.

One of the vintage flowers I showed you in that post was plumbago. I thought it was pretty enough to deserve its own post.

Plumbago Is Not A Pain
Peonies are my absolute, hands down, favorite flower (sorry, plumbago) and it was fun to pair them with my every increasing collection of chemistry flasks this year.

And then comes my porch posts.
My porch posts ALWAYS are some of my most viewed posts of the year, regardless of category. People like porches, I guess.
This spring I decided to be colorful on the porch. After the winter we had (remember the Polar Vortex?), I needed a bit of color in my life.

You know, where I discuss boobs and spider eggs. Not in any particular order, but oddly enough they are related.
