Hello, from the Dirty Girl…

DGG is a horticulture collective that includes writings on gardening, useful products from our brand and others, links and resources to outstanding companies and organizations, and a compelling compendium of Jenn's thoughts, ideas, interests and concerns regarding the environment. Oh! And sometimes deliberate sexual content and swearing, wrapped up in a pretty flower picture. Thanks for reading & commenting on my garden blog!

It’s too wet to work today. Plus, yesterday I picked up some wet burlap and my back decided to take a vacation from holding up the rest of my body. It’s works out ok, as it’s raining out and there is plenty of trashy tv to watch paper work to [...]

Ingrates in the Garden

P8120004

Dear Lemon Verbena: Why are you acting like such an as$hole? Last year I potted you in that new terra cotta pot, in the sunniest spot in the garden. You kind of grew, but nothing to blog about. Then this year I have fertilized the shit out of you AND [...]

"Weeds" on the side of Tunitas Creek Road, Spring 2010
