I love it when it’s finally time to enjoy the fruits, and vegetables, of my labors!!! Yum!
In my new Easy Garden box I planted 4 squares of green beans, and we’ve been swimming in them! So far I’ve picked about 4 pounds of beans. The trick with green beans is to keep harvesting them, and [...]

I’ve been so busy putting together my new fall planting schedule that I’ve fallen behind on giving garden updates. As I compared the pictures to my last update, I was amazed at how much everything grew, and so quickly. This week I’ll take more pictures and you can see how things are looking today!
Here is [...]

I’m happy to say that we’ve had no snow or hail! The weather swings from hot to cold, with crazy winds in between, but my garden is FINALLY growing. Here’s my full report:

I am tired, achy, and sneezing my head off. I have a little bit of a sunburn and sore muscles everywhere. But I’m so happy to be outside working in my garden. I’m not kidding when I say that up until June 1, not a week went by without hail or snow. I woke up [...]

I’m always on the lookout for places to buy raised garden beds (and square foot garden beds), and have I found a great option! This is called the Easy Garden Box and is available to purchase at nurseries across the country.
I have to admit, this may be my favorite garden bed so far. It’s super [...]

I just realized that I never posted my 2010 gardening plan, or instructions on how to create a gardening plan. Here’s the first, and the “how to” will be following in a few days.
Please note, the colors on here have nothing to do with my Planting by Color schedule. I just have a tendency to [...]

Yesterday it was hailing. No joke, hail.
I decided last week that I’m not waiting for warm weather to prepare my garden beds–as long as it’s 45 degrees or more, I’m going to do it. And then it hails. And snows. And last night when I tried to write this post–the power went out.

I’ve been enjoying some great harvests, and wanted to document it so I know what to expect at this time next year!
Peas
I planted 2 squares of snow peas and 2 squares of sugar snap peas. Just like last year, I had a HUGE harvest and loved every minute of it! The peas grew well until [...]

I have come to realize that for me, gardening is therapy.
I love it when, in the middle of February with the snow piled high and winter winds blowing, I pull out my pots, soil, and seeds and begin the next year’s garden. There is something wonderful about getting up to my elbows in earthy soil [...]

No, I have not dropped off the face of the earth, and my square foot garden is not dead. But last week we were on vacation, so I’ve been busy getting ready, enjoying our family reunion, and recuperating! I was going to post before we went, but I decided not to let the whole world [...]
