I wasn't sure if this was going to turn out to be summer squash or not. I had a volunteer squash plant show up in the part of the garden I was growing squash in last year. Could've been winter to...

Spent a nice day with the family hanging out. Got some on-line time which was different. I was also out in the yard with DH (!) for about an hour weeding and visiting. It was nice to see him outs...

Happy Saturday. The flowers are pretty but I really should be weeding. What motivates you to weed?
After patiently waiting three years for the apple stick to turn into an apple tree, we're finally seeing APPLES! This makes me rather pleased. On the other hand I'm also seeing clusters of aphi...
I've not really grown poppies before. I'm loving the paper tissue quality of the petals... plus I have a soft spot for orange flowers.
Trying out mobile blogging.
It's been impossibly long since I made a garden post. Please forgive me, it's been a busy few months. The fact that I couldn't really bend over properly for most of March and April either, took a...
It's starting to feel like spring around here which means I better get my butt in gear and get a few things pruned before they come completely out of dormancy. (Really I should've done this two w...

All my little brassicas are doing lovely. When I checked on them earlier in the week I noticed tiny tendrils of roots poking out the bottom of the pots. Time to up-pot already?! Okay... done! As ...
I'm happy to report that I got most of my seed starting area all cleaned up - woo! I even managed to get some wee seeds poked into some dirt. Life is good. I still need to tuck in some onions but...

It's a new year and a new lease on life... once again I will try to chuck my bad lazy habits and actually post gardeny-goodess here for you! Of course right now there's not much to talk about and...
It took me a while but as promised - the new apple stick tree! (Spitzenburg) Or as I more affectionately refer to it, the fluffy apple stick. In a few more years it'll look more like other fl...

I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted. Really, there hasn't been much to talk about in the garden. Even worse then the last couple of years we've had a lot of cold and wet and col...

It was another productive day in the garden. I got a late start since I went to church this morning then hung out in the back yard where I finished reading a book while drinking coffee in the war...

It was a beautiful day to spend outside. Intermittently cloudy and a high of maybe 70? I had no other plans besides just gardening today and it was lovely. I didn't feel terrible (finally getting...

I haven't done a Death Day in a while and boy, this one is a doozy. I'm very, very sorry to report that the peach tree is pretty well in done for. Normally I'm a vigorous researcher when it comes...

It's not all just watering and planting and enjoying the sunshine. Oh no! This here is a five gallon bucket of dandelion whine. Ha! Somedays it's about pulling a LOT of weeds

After my last post you'd think it was all doom and gloom around here - not so! See? Healthy happy plants! (And a few replacements for those starts that went south). We have had another cold wet s...
Normally plants do pretty well around here... especially when I pay attention to them. However, for the past month (yes 30 days) I've had a house full of company and my attention has been rather ...

The problem with seasons are that they sort of just march on steadily whether you're ready for them or not. I just checked my gardening "Honey-do" list and whoa! am I behind. Start Seeds Indoors...

I can't believe it's been nearly a month and a half since I last posted. So much for New Year's resolutions! At least I'm good about taking pictures. I always mean to get over here and make a pos...

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! It's only February, how can I be so busy already? Sorry I missed posting last Wednesday! There's not a whole lot going on here in plant-land which is good since my time i...
AN ODD MARRIAGE I finally got to combine two things I love, quilting and gardening. This is a wee bit sick but I actually made a quilt for my plant babies. I know you all get it! Most everyone e...
SEEDS How did your seed orders go? I just got mine in. Woo! This was the order I placed with my sister. I wish I had room this year to grow pumpkins! GARDEN CLEAN UP Last Saturday we had ou...

Bird butts. FOR THE BIRDS So as you can see I received a lovely little bird feeder for Christmas. I'm glad it was gifted to me because it's not something I've been willing to spend money on ...
