Hey everyone! I haven’t blogged in a few days so I figured that I might as well. A lot of stuff has come up in the garden already. I’m still waiting for the squash and cucumbers to come up. Yesterday I cut down a bunch of trees in my backyard. I would have cut more down, but the chain saw motor jammed. This morning I got up and burned the tree branches that I had cut and mowed the yard. I set the box up for the square foot garden this evening. I have to get peat moss and compost. ...

I just noticed that one of the Moon Vines has finally started to show it little white sprout. I am so happy. I just finished the trellis, I wired it onto a tomatoe cage to make it taller and to be able to put it in the ground and wired a small long pot to put them in on it, I can’t say its anything to look at now – its really very ugly, but once the vines get going on it, it will be just gorgeous. Anyhow I came back in and peeked in the ” nursery ” by the window in ...

Spent most of the day moviing dirt and breaking up hard ground. Back breaking work but it will allbe worth it in the end. The biggest problem I have is an old stump that has to be removed. I have dug around and discovered that the stump is entangled in an even older stump. Great huh! This is probably why nothing would grow well in this particular part of the garden. Will get someone in to mulch this all up during the week.I did manage to remove most of the oldest stump as it was so old and d...

So this year I am doing my first garden! I have helped with family gardens before but this is the first one that is all mine! Tonight my 2 boys helped to get the starter pots ready for me to plant the seed in them. They are 3 and 1 so there was a lot of dirt throwing and empty pots but we all had fun!
I also purchased some strawberries plants for transplant and they are already getting berries ( I will post pictures of that as well)! I can’t wait for warm weather and little sprou...

March 12/10With spring around the corner, but the ground too wet to work in, I spent some time spring cleaning the kitchen.
In the drawer under the stove, I keep bakeware, turned upside down so the mice don’t ruin them. Cleaning it out, however, I found a toy tart tin that I was upright. But – I also had a surprise
A mouse had brought cat food into this perfect storage area and filled the tart tin. There were no cat food pellets in the bottom of the stove—nowhere e...

I seem to have accidently deleted my first entry in my relanscaping blog and replaced it with one about our rainfall. I have just discovered what I did wrong so hopefully it won’t happen again. I did read all the comments and do very much appreciate all the feedback, which is what makes this site so good. Unfortunately most of the plants that were removed from the garden were unsalvageable due to heat stress. Most that are left are natives and love the climate. We are still going to tr...

Well I have a few milk jugs going for the Winter Sowing Project and that has kept me from being to stir crazy to get out and Garden.

Add to that the Crocuses are all up and cheerful and another Purple flower that I am not sure of the name of.. With all these flowers and beans coming up already I am again Itching to get out in the Garden. I know it is way to early to start but with such a crazily...

Well its been a while, just been busy with what else gardening :D
So I used some just plain uncooked vinegar on a patch of weeds and let it cook itself in the hot sun, wow it really smelled like a salad outside but within a few hours the weeds were brown and dead, I am impressed.
I just got back in from replanting back in the Earth the Dianthus and Red Ice Plant I put in pots last year to make more, the Earth is cold still. Its supposed to be warm this weekend. I am going to get more ...
