A few years ago when I was writing my book, Be the Star You Are!(r)-99 Gifts for Living, Loving, Laughing, and Learning to Make a Difference, my good friend and fellow author, Dr. Bernie Siegel gave me some very sage advice. “Cynthia,” Bernie said, “there is nothing new in life. Don’t make yourself crazy trying to reinvent the wheel. Write from your heart, be your unique self, and let your personal experiences tell the story.” www.star-style.com

“More in a garden grows than what the gardener sows.” Spanish Proverb

“Let’s go into the backyard to admire the Naked Ladies,” beckoned a male friend of mine. To the non-gardener, this sentence sounds like a racy pick up line, but to the avid gardener, these bulbous lilies in the Amaryllis family (Lycoris squamigera and Amaryllis belladonna) fill our senses with satisfaction. Watching these bodacious beauties sway in the breeze is intoxicating.

Lions, Tigers, and Bears…Oh My

Digging Deep–Gardening with Cynthia

©2009

“Nature teaches beasts to know their friends.” William Shakespeare

As I was wandering through my gardens, I began to count the varieties of wildlife that inhabit my personal Garden of Eden. There were cottontails, a family of deer, including three bucks, quail, hummingbirds, doves, finches, mockingbirds, robins, blue jays, an assortment of unidentified birds, and the lone hooded oriole. Soaring overhead were red tail hawks and buzzard vultures while on the ground the gophers still plagued my lawns, and the raccoons raided my recycle bin. Scampering across the hills were two coyotes and a red fox, and I discovered the tracks and scat of bobcats. Skunks make their occasional appearance while slithering from my apple tree to my vegetable garden was a three-foot long king snake. This indeed is the wild kingdom.

IN THE BACKYARD WITH CYNTHIA BRIAN-FEBRUARY, FERTILIZER, AND FLOWERS

ebruary is usually the wettest month. Last February I lectured throughout South America where the seasons are the reverse of ours. I witnessed lupines in the warm climate of Chile in all shades of the rainbow that towered over six feet. In the Falkand Islands, the chilly earth was covered in a beautiful three-inch think berry ground cover that blanketed the cliffs where the penguins played. In just a few days, I’m off to cruise throughout the Caribbean on another lecture tour where I’ll be branching out my garden repertoire. Before I leave, I want to make sure to give you just a few tips, although you can be a bit lazy in the garden in February. The cold weather actually helps the harvests of the fall. If you were smart and planted your bulbs, tubers, rhizomes, and corms last fall, this month you will enjoy the blush of beauty as the new growth emerges from the damp soil, stretching their painted heads towards the sunlight. Crocus, daffodils, anemones, Dutch iris, amaryllis and even the blossoms of plum trees brighten our yards with their vibrant colors towards the end of the month.
