THE POLKA DOT HEDGE EXPERIMENT

With the help of MAIEDAE (a fabulous web design company in Atlanta), I have finally been able to combine my love of food and gardening into one blog! If you look above you'll see two flowing blue ribbons...one for The Lunch Box Project and the other for my new garden blog, The Polka Dot Hedge Experiment. Click on either one to sort my posts or neither to get the full potluck.
The Polka Dot Hedge Experiment is a major transformation of my previous garden blog, Topiary & Tiramisu. Though I loved writing my earlier garden blog, it did not fulfill a desire to share my quirky outlook on garden design.  I want to start a new experiment...one that combines artful technique with artful approach (I'll explain this more in a future post), using the same illustrative savvy as The Lunch Box Project.  Though you may see some photographs pop up here and there, you'll see a lot of my garden design shenanigans in hopefully a fresh way.
For those that are already gardeners - I hope you'll learn something new.  For those not interested in gardening - I hope to tweak your interest a little.  To get both groups started I made you a little gift.  When you sign up for my newsletter, I'll send along your first set of HEDGE NOTES.  These are basically plant journal sheets to help develop your interest (and possibly new love) of the garden. These are great for adults and kids. There will be more information included in the HEDGE NOTES package.

(and receive your set of HEDGE NOTES!)

FYI...My newsletter will highlight both of my blogs, so be ready to snack and tinker in the garden at the same time.

Oh, so much to talk about and so many posts ahead!

PANCAKES AND SYRUP

I couldn't help myself...I made the entire box of pancake mix on Monday, so we could indulge in pancakes and syrup all week.

WINE AND CHEESE

This sounds really good right now (take note that I'm writing this at 7 p.m. in the evening, not 6 a.m. in the morning like the post time says!).
