First let me say, I’m so relieved that I didn’t post more about our DIY greenhouse. It survived until about mid January when we had a snow/ice storm that caved in the top somewhat. The windstorm we had in February just finished the job on it. We did get a few fresh onions, some fresh greens, our leeks are just about ready to be pulled and made into soup or
Yes, we are preparing for Autumn. Even though to us these temperatures make us hardly wince. To Sourdoughs from Alaska, 60 degree temperatures mean either late spring, early summer or early Autumn. Still we try to follow the calendar for this area as it seems so do our plants. I guess they know better than us that it’s time to quit, no matter how hot it still feels to us. Our
Well we finally did it. We opened the potato bin so see if we had anything there. And this was the result. What an utter disappointment. No blues, no reds, no any special potatoes. Hardly anything at all. Depressing. Still though, I told Edward that “hey this was our second time growing potatoes, our first time growing them THIS way so we should be happy with WHATEVER we get!
It’s now been, what? Almost a month and maybe even a week since I’ve written. I kept having the best intentions to write and then…..something always got in my way. First I injured my left foot while walking through the garden, next, was my laptop which decided right now was a perfect time for an epic fail. Then next hubby having yet another TDY, while my son and I were
The nice thing about vacations when you have a garden is you get the wonderful treat of seeing how your garden did in your absence. All in all I’m pretty happy with our progress. Something ate every single little leaf off our parsley so that bit the dust. I’m betting it was a neighborhood squirrel. Our lemon balm obviously didn’t like the heat as a good portion of it died
Normally I like to update here each week but this past week has been extremely busy. The theme parks are open so we’ve been enjoying that as well as preparing for our upcoming vacation. Plus, add the rainy weather and well. I just haven’t had a chance to take photos, give any updates, etc. So without further delay, here’s a photo log of how things are going. Unfortunately I forgot
Today we planned to run to the gym since we haven’t been there in decades however after breakfast we began talking about all that needed to be done with the yard, then we got caught up planting, cleaning up, etc so we never actually made it to the gym. Good news is that we got loads done!!! Early this morning we took some advice from Ray at Youtube. Well that
A while ago I posted a blog on Seed Saving where I shared my own idea of storing seeds. Well imagine how surprised I was when I found that Walmart sells the exact type of container that I wanted to use. So, since they were so cheap(aka affordable) I picked up two of them up.I labeled each container by number so that I can always switch things around later when
First the wonderful news! Remember the onion from the blog entry “You learn something new everyday”. I planted the bottom of a green onion (also called a scallion) and discovered it would grow. Well this is how it’s doing now! So it appears that not only is this possible to do, but it’s easy as pie, and the onions grow superfast! I can see no more buying green onions in
