Garden Pest Control? Whatever You Say!

Garden pest control is a hot topic in gardening conversations. Whether in person or online, everybody has an opinion on this. The thing is, there are so many different pests and so many approaches to garden pest control that it’s hard to say one method is better or worse than another. Personally, I prefer a […]

Behold! The Patron Saint of Lawn Mowers!

I admit that I don’t know all of the saints. I’m aware of some of the well-known saints, like St. Anthony, the Patron Saint for Lost Articles. He’s a favorite of one of my friends. But the Encyclopedia Britannica points out that there are more than 10,000 saints recognized by the Catholic Church, so I […]

Digging Up Gardening Humor in Manure

Cow dung, also known as cow pies or cow manure, is the holy grail ingredient on the farm where the biggest gardens are grown. It’s also packed and shipped off to garden supply stores everywhere to help out the little gardens, too. I’ve never been too romantic about it, mostly I just look forward to […]

Beetlemania and the Backyard Battleground

“Leveling Up” to Farm Life

Let’s be honest—every gardener has, at least once, stared lovingly at their tiny raised bed and thought, “If I just had a few more acres…” You know the fantasy: morning dew shimmering on your rolling fields, a sunrise symphony of birdsong, and the gentle hum of your fully loaded tractor as you heroically plow, till, […]

Black Gold, Brown Laughter

Let’s face it—gardeners are an inventive bunch when it comes to nourishing their plants. We brew banana peel tea, steep compost like it’s fine wine, sprinkle Epsom salts like fairy dust, and even chat sweetly to our squash in hopes it will grow bigger than the neighbor’s. But among the most time-honored and giggle-inducing methods […]

Introduction to The Case of the Mystery Shrub

The Great Gardening Detective Agency (Now Accepting New Cases!) If there’s one thing we’ve learned at GreenPrints, it’s that humor sprouts abundantly whenever seasoned gardeners interact with non-gardeners—or, even better, non-gardeners who suddenly decide they’d like to become gardeners.

A Little Gardening Humor About Growing Azaleas (or Not)

Haven’t we all had a forehead-smacking discovery once—ok maybe more than once—in our gardening lives? I know I have, but not one quite as laughably cringe-inducing as the gardening humor piece I’m sharing with you today. I felt this one – ouch! When we come into our gardens with big ideas and maybe an even […]

Mini Garden Decor? Not Quite

When I imagine garden decor, I usually think of smaller items. Maybe it’s a little gnome sitting at the edge of the sunflowers or little bells hanging from a branch of the apple tree. I might even say that some of my plant labels qualify as garden decor, since they get quite colorful thanks to […]

The Nursery Man Was Not Amused

Some of them even bring you treats on holidays! And there are some people who just aren’t happy with anything. Whoever […]
