Stories by Lynne Irons

Blowing in the Wind

September 24, 2020
Lynne Irons

Hurricane Teddy passed by on Tuesday and delivered some mighty blustery conditions. It was downright unpleasant tending to outdoor chores. Wind has always been my least favorite weather. I can work...

Mulch Madness

September 17, 2020
Lynne Irons

Last Monday and Tuesday were a bit hazy. NPR reported it was a smoke plume from the wildfires out west. How is that even possible? Supposedly, it got up into the jet stream and then it’s a...

Falling for Fall

September 10, 2020
Lynne Irons

Labor Day weekend delivered some fine weather — the kind that makes a person glad to be alive. Several nights were so chilly that the extra blanket was needed. I love that. The week following...

Let it Rain

September 2, 2020
Lynne Irons

I was happy last week at the possibility of a rainy Saturday. I planned several indoor activities and neglected my Friday watering duties. When it, once again, failed to deliver, I wondered who or...

Simply Sorghum

August 28, 2020
Lynne Irons

Honestly, I have no business ever complaining about the weather. I’ve been following national weather related stories this week — the horrible hundreds of fires in California and the Gulf...

August 19, 2020
Lynne Irons

Tomato Stories

August 12, 2020
Lynne Irons

The heat, humidity and lack of rain are removing whatever is left of my cheerful nature. I have much for which to be grateful, however – an outside job requiring less mask time than some poor...

Salt and Wind

August 5, 2020
Lynne Irons

Hurricane Bob is etched in my memory. It was a wind event with no rain. It blew leaves from the trees and vegetables. The wind was salt-laden so plants suffered greatly. Oddly, that fall, lilacs,...

Sweet Heirlooms

July 28, 2020
Lynne Irons

Most of my summer columns are spent whining about the lack of rain and the hauling of hoses. F.Y.I., it is better for plants, especially established perennials, to give them a deep soaking once a...

Summertime Blues

July 22, 2020
Lynne Irons

Summer is my least favorite season. The song from Porgy and Bess, Summertime and the living is easy, does not apply to me. Everything is so difficult right now. It never rains and it is way too hot...
