We're Digging It

  • Make your yard hummingbird-friendly
    Early this week I finally spotted hummingbird activity in my yard. Once at the feeder and another time at a planter with fuchsia flowers. Hummingbirds usually show up around the first of May in my yard, but this year they seem to be two weeks late.
  • Being as green as your lawn
    I needed a new lawn mower this year and ended up with a cordless electric self-propelled mower. I decided buy an electric mower after hearing Master Gardener Laurie Proctor talk about how much pollution one mower produces.
  • Butterfly effect
    Michelle Davies captured this image of a Blue Clipper butterfly Tuesday at the Botanical Conservatory in Fort Wayne.

Drought, economy kill Neuhouser’s

We posted the announcement this morning that Neuhouser’s has closed.

I might have been one of the last customers at Neuhouser Garden & Gifts off Jefferson Boulevard, picking up a blown-glass globe with the colors of the Earth seen from space.

On Sunday, they were even selling bulb planters with soil clinging to them and those little red wagons that looked like they had been with the company since Day 1. By Tuesday, they were closed.

Farewell.
