Well, with how things go in this buisness I have been swamped at work so have slacked a bit online… Allow me to remedy that!
So things are really beginning to move and shake in the bog. Many of the Sarracenia (NA pitcherplants) are heavily budded with some plants haveing 2 buds per point even! Finally getting close to having open flowers, they’re fully extended and beginning to nod. My hybred x catesbaie recieved from a friend is looking to be the first to flower, and looks to ...

Just wanted to put up a few shots of things around the yard right now.
The “invasive” plants my father in-law gave us are doing nicely beside the power box. All are in bloom and look really good together.
The poor ring around the light pole of lilies seems way over filled to me. I’ll be pulling out some of the more productive lilies to make room for the others.
Grapes are doing nicely. The lone grape vine that we kept is full of grapes, and the new plants we...

This is our first house and we are thrilled to be able to garden, but it is a lot of work. This is what we have done so far, since we both work it’s taking a bit of time. We are also on a tight budget so we are growing every single thing from seed.
Some pictures:

I belong to a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture for those of you not in the know) and one of the requirements for membership is to spend a work-day on the farm. So yesterday, my husband and I rolled out of bed to be on the road by 7:15, get to the farm by 8, and begin our work-day.
DH was in charge of getting directions to the farm. He did not write them down, so we got lost on the way there, natch. Maybe we’ll work on that one later.
Arrived at the farm, were greeted by the...

While trying to expand my gardens, there was one particular problem that started bothering me. Gardening should not be a series of back breaking tasks. As my gardens expanded, nature would take over very quickly. In order to keep up, my investment in labor became overwhelming. There was no way I could keep up with the weeds and bugs and such. Soon, the gardens would be a lost cause. I started understanding the strategies of mechanized farming. Instead of hand grooming this plant and that, it ...
