Ok everyone, here is what I was working on when I should have been doing the LumberJocks’ eMag. Here is what I was doing when I DID have a working internet and what was I left to do the eMag when the internet WASN’T working. (And yes, I did get the newsletter finished. I have a great boss—who gave me to the end of the week. Thanks Martin!)
Back to my triangle garden. A little history:
my goal for the year as to work on my vegetable garden and only one fl...

Well all my hard work last year is paying off, I had dug up all my strawberries, removed all grass roots, arranged them all back into rows. Only 1 1/2 months on my knees to get everything done. Now this year I have so far gotten 38 quarts of strawberries of my patch. And they are still coming.

shhhh! Don’t tell Martin (founder of our sites) but I’ve been outside working on my gardens when I should have been finishing the “now overdue” eMag for LumberJocks.
But here’s the deal: as I was writing the eMag I was reminded that for the past 8 months I’ve been advertising that I was going to host a picnic this summer. Oh yes, I had totally forgotten, so just imagine the look on my ghost-white face when I saw the date: July 13. Ah yah,...

AT THE BASKETBALL NET: In our backyard is the kids’ old basketball net – still up, just because! I have some plants around it, mostly basil and our Moonglow Magnolia.

ON THE SHADY SIDE:Inspired by Zuki’s window well project at LumberJocks
I was going to close in my window wel...

I had purchased some triple mix for a front flowerbed but changed my mind and decided to add another veggie garden in the backyard.
We simply laid down some cardboard/newspaper, placed some old logs around the edge, filled it with the soil, and then planted sections with seeds for salad ingredients. We have some kale, spinach, lettuce, radishes, and mustard greens.
(I forget when we actually through this together but the seedlings have come up nicely and will soon have s...

(Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadian, by the way).
Yesterday as I was weeding my cucumber garden I was surprised and thrilled to see this little guy peeking out at me. He’s not very big yet but I can already taste him.
Now, for many of you, this really isn’t that exciting but you have to remember the history of my cucumbers. First plantings were destroyed by the cat and the dog. These plants were some saggy leftovers at the grocery store – some un...
