We have had two and a half days of rain.  So much rain, that it filled the kiddie pool for us.  The grass has also grown, and the weeds have taken a further hold in my garden. I feel the end of season coming, but know that it’s still a ways off.  Especially since my [...]

I love the fact that my garden has been taking care of itself the last week.  With the bits of rain we’ve gotten, I haven’t had to water.  I pull a few hands full of weeds when I’m out there – barely putting a dent into the overgrowth of native grasses.  But more or less, [...]

I’m a bush bean dummy.  Remember, my bush beans were planted by accident, and I haven’t had much time to research.  So, silly me didn’t realize that they will blossom and produce multiple crops.  Imagine my delight and surprise when I started seeing another wave of blossoms on the little bushes that were part of [...]

I have a few plants in my garden that are doing great.  My pumpkins are taking over like they’re on drugs – I counted at least 8 little guys out there this morning.

Last week I planted my second round of green beans (on Thursday I think). [...]

It has been a party in my garden this week.  My mom is visiting and has been helping with all the gardening, kid chasing, freezing and cooking around here – it’s such a great help to have extra hands!  G-Baby has taken to eating the green beans straight from the garden.

The pumpkins, acorn squash and [...]

This week, my gardening has brought about some relocation and identity changes.  My poor basil was not growing and the square it was in kept getting overgrown by grass.  Since I’m starting to see baby tomatoes last week, I decided that if garden bruschetta was going to be on my August menu, my basil needed [...]

I’m wading back into the web-world after a three day hiatus from most things internet.  What a busy weekend: it was filled with family, friends and work.
In order to get in gear for today’s Garden Party I had to take a minute to see what was really going on in my garden.  I’m seeing [...]

As the temperatures are heating up, my garden is taking off – and everything in it.  The garden has taken a turn for the lush side, shall we say. (Read: full of weeds that I can’t keep up with!)
All of my heat loving crops – tomatoes, green beans and squashes – are flourishing.  My [...]
