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 [...]

I have some gardening friends, and I am always tempted to begin conversations with the nursery rhyme. I resist. . . but just barely.
My garden is growing–despite the crazy weather throughout the month of April. This is the same garden bed that was covered in nine inches of snow just three weeks ago!

I knew it was supposed to snow today. That’s why I didn’t transplant my broccoli and cabbage-this year I’m playing it safe. I thought, “I’ll have to wait until Friday.” Well, I might be waiting slightly longer now. Here is my garden this morning:
In case you’re wondering what this is a picture of, I’ll tell [...]

I’ve been meaning to work in my garden for over a week-I need to plant my onions and spinach, plus set out my irrigation and trellis. It’s not that I’m lazy, but it’s been COLD outside! It seems like it snows every other week, and I don’t want to lose all my hard work. And [...]

I haven’t posted lately about my gardening progress, but don’t let that throw you off. I’ve been working hard-inside!
Several weeks ago I started my broccoli, cabbage, parsley, and dill. I found some great Jiffy pots (size 3), and filled them with potting soil. I planted the seeds, watered well, and placed them in a tupperware [...]

I ran into a dilemma as I considered including photos of myself on this blog. You see, I almost NEVER look good when I garden. In this picture, I hadn’t showered for two days. Why shower and put on cute clothes when you’re about to go spread manure around?
Typically, I wear a bandana to keep [...]

Here it is–my 2009 SFG garden plan (click on the picture to see a bigger version). I have 5 garden beds altogether–four that are 4×4, and one that is 4×8. One of the things I am doing this year is to plant all my spring veggies on the West fence. That way it will receive [...]

So you know you’ve officially become a gardening person when you can stand in the seed aisle at Wal-Mart for over 30 minutes, and still not decided what to get!
After working on my garden plan (post coming soon!) I determined what new plant varieties I wanted to try this year. New to my garden will [...]
