Welcome To Pilgrims and Pioneers!
After many years of researching my family geneaology I have been lucky enough to discover actual information about my relatives that lived in the Pilgrim Era and the Pioneer Era- while many people also have realtives from those eras- many do not know their names or where they lived- actually seeing the proof in print makes you much more aware of who they really were.
After discovering these relatives it of course made me curious to learn more about the eras that they lived in and what their lives were like as, the history I learned in grade school had long since been forgotten.
I decided to start this blog for others who are also interested in these eras.
Some of the information here will be actual facts about my realtives and some will be information about the eras in general that I have found on the web.
I hope you will enjoy traveling back in time with me!
Plant an old fashioned garden
I thought I would list some plants that have been around a long time and make a great old fashioned garden.
I try to use plants rather than seeds but seeds are fine- I just don't like the wait!
Taller plants are Bachelor Buttons, Columbines,Echinacea, BlackEyed Susan's,
Herbs- Lavender,Mint - there are all types of these- Lemon, Chocolate ( yes Chocolate),
Orange - the varities are endless, Sage, Sweet Annie to name a few. A Plant called Snow on the Mountain is a tall growing plant that is good for adding white among your colored blooms!
Some lower growing plants are perennial Geraniums, Dianthus, Creeping Thyme.
Some annuals that are lower growing and are good for borders- petunias, marigolds,Moss Rose ( Portulaca).
Pictured are Moss Rose, Black Eyed Susan's and, purple Columbines.
