Welcome!

Welcome to the Frog Hollow Farm blog! I've been blogging since January 2010 and have switched from Blogger to Word Press, but I'm back to Blogger because, for me, it's easier to use. My husband and I live on a little farm in Northwest New Jersey. We have some chickens and a very large vegetable garden with asparagus and raspberries, and rows and rows of sunflowers, snapdragons and zinnias. Traveling, entertaining, gardening, spending time with family, studying Italian, blogging and reading keep us busy and happy. With all of this going on, moving towards a simpler life seems almost impossible but it's definitely a daily goal.

The Flowers of Monticello


Red and White Tulips planted all along the back garden walkway.  The gardeners had planted perenniels that are already coming up in between the thousands of blossoming tulips. 
Majestic Monticello in the background!


Beautiful Pink Angelica Tulips
Don' they look like roses? They were really spectacular!


                                                                          
Virginia Bluebells...just the prettiest little perenniel - I can't always get mine to survive more than three years.











Light yellow Star tulips with the touch of a pink blush...just spectacular!
Exploring Asheville with FHFB for the next few days.  I haven't been keeping up with reading all of your wonderful blogs but will be sure to catch up once I get home!  And I haven't photographed all of the many flowers blooming at Monticello - I keep forgetting to snap the pictures because I get so caught up in looking at everything.  I promise to get better!

Ciao,bella!

  3. Just beautiful! You're so fortunate to have places with such lush, beautiful gardens back east. It's harder to get things to grow out here. Glad to hear you're enjoying your trip!

  8. Oh how I would love to visit Monticello. Thomas Jefferson was truly a remarkable genius in his time. It would have to be incredibly interesting and educational to tour there.

    Blessings,

    Jo

  9. Hello darling, I’ve missed you terribly while you were away on your little holiday. That is what I so desperately need. I am so tired and overwhelmed with everything that life has placed on my Royal Albert pink rose plate!! God willing, I am planning to visit my friend Kate for few days next month…can’t wait. Nice to have you back darling and wishing you a blessed Sunday.

    Love & Hugs
    Duchess
