It’s only 31 °F this morning but that’s not keeping me out of the garden. As far as I’m concerned, it’s Spring. It seems I’m not the only one either. I found this little friend squirming around the radish seedlings that I planted last weekend.
Time to chit
Mid-February means it’s chittin’ time!
Hoop houses
I was interested in extending the growing season a little further into the winter, so I built a few mini-hoop houses in the garden this weekend to cover my remaining crops.
Sauced
August marks the end of our summer garden. Only a few plants remain including watermelon, pumpkins, and tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes. Time to bring out the canning supplies and make some sauce.
Peak tomato season
Peak tomato season has arrived, along with the annual realization that I put in too many plants again. I’m the only one in the house that eats them.
Coming to life
The salad greens and carrots are in full force, the garlic is swelling, and all of my summer veggies are filling in the remaining empty spaces in the garden.
Thinning day
Early April brings a flurry of activity to my garden.
Day 12
Half-way there.
Watch it grow
I was in the garden this morning around 0 dark 30—coffee, camera, and garden notebook in hand.
A little rain must fall
Cool and wet. Just what the plants need.
Blackberries - a hack job
Dusk isn’t the best time to prune blackberry bushes.
First plantings
Nothing like a little early morning gardening to start the day off right.
