Expansion???

Hi everyone, I am toying with expanding my outdoor garden this year! I have found that with only 5 more fence pieces I can double my garden space! Last year I found it hard to weed, and the plants were all too close together. Especially in mid-summer when everything gets to be a bit of […]

Yellow Onion Fiasco

Planting the yellow globe onions was a breeze. Watching the green shoots come up, also a breeze… The trouble started when grass also sprouted around the green onion shoots. I could not tell them apart very well and when I tried to weed I inevitably ruined onions. So I stopped. 🙁 Combine that with a […]

Back and Landscaping like crazy!

Hi everyone! I have been out of touch recently due to the dance studio recital finishing up and a huge landscaping project! I used to have these huge ugly evergreen bushes right out my front door. They were ugly, they smelled gross and all they were good for was a rabbit hutch, which in turn […]

Petunias From Seed

I started some petunias from seed this year and I learned a lot about them! They are picky little things! They need the soil to be very very warm to germinate. So a seed tray warming pad is essential. I thought that most of mine were duds until they sat outside in a 90 degree […]

Transplanting the seedlings :)

So I was able to harden the seedlings successfully! Normally that’s when I kill things. Generally I forget about them and then they die from over exposure. This time I was meticulous about how much time they were out each day and brought them in properly. The only thing that happened was a little sunburn […]

Strawberries!

I planted some strawberry plants a few years ago and all we ever got was one single strawberry from them. NOW they are very happy and producing many berries! They are so delicious. Store-bought strawberries are NOTHING compared to the flavor you get from growing your own. I have them in the center of my […]

Radish Harvest!

I harvested the first of the radishes the other day! They were pretty small, but the rows needed thinning anyway. They were VERY tasty. Not as spicy as I would like, but at least my daughter can have some then too. The type of radish I got was a “Cherry Belle” They are a solid […]

Planted the outdoor seeds :)

Hi everyone! Today I planted the seeds in the outdoor garden. I put in broccoli, carrots, zucchini, cilantro and basil. I bordered the sides with cosmos, and made areas for the small plants of broccoli, onions, bell and jalapeno peppers, and tomatoes to go once they are properly hardened. I have the baby plants up […]
