Garden Update 9/25/18

Fall, cooler weather, and new plants… The pumpkins have started coming in!  With all the gourds, pumpkins, mini pumpkins, and corn stalks, we are feeling all the fall vibes.  I planted some giant spinach from the seeds I harvested from the plants that had gone to seed a couple of weeks ago and the spinach… Read More Garden Update 9/25/18

Garden Update 9/4/18

I hope that you have had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend.  As we have begun our new school year, I have had a distinct lack of time for gardening.  My son, however, keeps hounding me to get to the garden.  He has been growing one of our community garden beds and his produce is really… Read More Garden Update 9/4/18

Garden Update 8/20/18

We have been traveling a ton these last few weeks.  Between trips I have picked a few things I wanted to get logged in the tally.  I haven’t even looked at the garden since we got in late last night so this post is mostly just a record and I will work on a more… Read More Garden Update 8/20/18

Garden Update 7/30/18

This harvest includes the first tomato of the season!  For northern gardeners who don’t have greenhouses, this is a great milestone!  Also the first red hot pepper of the season.  Pretty cool stuff.  Both of these warmer weather crops were harvested at the community garden, rather than the home garden though.  It gets so much… Read More Garden Update 7/30/18

Garden Update 7/16/18

The harvest is starting to come in for this garden update.  Hopefully my cost per pound of organic produce will drop drastically over the next few weeks. Outside… Everything is growing fairly well.  The peas and tomatoes are getting quite tall.     The deer unfortunately found my flower beds and had a nice snack. … Read More Garden Update 7/16/18

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

Garden Update 6/19/18

The last couple of weeks have been travel weeks, so I have been unable to update on what is going on around the garden.  I have instead been checking out the natural beauty around me.  Pretty much the only updates I have for this week are the harvest tallies.  I managed to harvest a bit… Read More Garden Update 6/19/18

Garden Update 6/4/18

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

Garden Update 5/29/18

Memorial Day where I live really starts the garden season in full swing.  Pretty much everything that hasn’t already been planted gets planted by the first of June.  So it is definitely time to get those last minute things in the ground.  My deck is loaded with plants still to plant.  Many are flowers, but… Read More Garden Update 5/29/18

Garden Update 4/30/18

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. Outside… Outside I have planted a few carrots and some beets in the main garden.  There are a… Read More Garden Update 4/30/18
