Garden Update 7/3/18

We are finally home from our travels and getting back into the swing of things.  Most everything survived while we were gone.  A few flowers look pretty weak, (maybe dying a slow death) but overall pretty good. Outside… Some bad news.  I checked some test radishes that we were growing in Miracle Grow at the… Read More Garden Update 7/3/18

This week involved a lot of projects at the Community Garden and not as much at home.  My sweet hubby had to replace some rotted boards and fix some stuff.  It has been a challenge to get time to do things here.  We are finishing up the homeschool year and it has just been busy.… Read More Garden Update 6/4/18

I was in San Diego for most of last week and so I missed gardening this week.  I did plant a few carrots when I returned.  But for the most part, it was a slow garden week.

Homeschool Update 4/20/18

The Beginning… This week started pretty intensely.   Monday night, after a crazy day, I realized that I was pretty far behind in the grading and checking of the high schooler’s papers for history and science.  Over the last month, the grading for the kids has been slipping further and further behind.  I was still getting… Read More Homeschool Update 4/20/18
