Grow A Vegtable Garden 2 weeks ago

I used to have a large garden every summer but the last few years I’ve been to busy! This summer (2010) I’d really like to grow one agian



Untitled 4 weeks ago

I’ve tried a couple of times with very little success. But I’m determined. With my farm animals, I have lots to add to help the soil. First I need to go out and prep the soil.

It’s so enoucraging to read other’s successes. Gives me that little nudge to get out there.



my faves 4 weeks ago

I like best: tomatoes, potatoes, beets (I know, I’m weird), carrots, cucumbers, artichokes. Most of those are winter or autumn growers, so maybe I should start it now.

My little plant of peppers... 1 month ago

has grown quite a bit since I transplanted it a couple of weeks ago. It still hasn’t grown a new pepper, but it’s growing.

My husband transplanted this past weekend several sweet little peppers from the seeders they were in to individual plastic pots. They’re already getting greener and growing new leaves! (They were yellow and almost with no leaves). However, since they were in the seeders for so many months, I don’t think they will yield any peppers… :-(

Peppers 1 month ago

I have a little plant of peppers which just happens to have its first ripe (and only) red pepper. Tomorrow I will transplant it to a larger container. And I will use the pepper in a salad for myself.

TayLora 3 months ago

just went out and picked some red potatoes, some white onions and some baby carrots, along with some basil and rosemary! TayLora is sooooooo stoked as this is her first time as a gardener that she is old enough to appreciate it.. and boy is she ever! She is annoyed that the rest of us aren’t jumping around like fools too:)She keeps repeating “I’m sooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy!” lol
She is already planning next years beds and what seeds she is planting. Cukes are definately making the list! I really would love to do some heritage seeds next season so I am going to connect with my friend Mergret (www.downtotherootsmagazine.com) who has a crazy amount of heirloom seeds and see if I can work out a deal with her! :)
Can’t wait till we can harvest some more! Hopefully I’ll be able to convince Bug she needs to wait!

OMG! 4 months ago

My potato plants are getting HUGE! I hope there is a TON of potatoes under there! I forgot how pretty potato plants are:) Can’t wait till they blossom:)
Tomatos are coming along great, carrots are finally recovering from the SHEEP ATTACK! radishes and turnips are looking like they should:) Habenaro and jalapenos looking great! still not calling this goal done till it is harvested though!



Long John Silvie is home and hopping mad!!
