My community church garden plot just gave me these squash. The white one is patty pan and the green and white are ? I cooked the patty pan at 400 for 30 minutes added 2 tbs of butter and peppered to taste. yummy good, better tasting than potatoes…....I was told that it is a heirloom squash dating back 400 yrs so I saved the seeds…Does anyone know what the other green and white squash is?
This was a good year for tomatoes here . Off to a slow start with cold and snow, it recovered in June and has been warm and sunny for the remainder of the summer right up into September.We have had little rain which caused a bit of over watering and splitting of some fruit but other than that, it was a wonderful year from both quantity and quality
a few more blooms… dame’s rocket : columbines : irises : polemonium : weigela rumba : mini rose : a beast in my vinegar tree!!!!!!!!
i’ve decided to plant another garden this year…i volunteered at a community garden in my neighborhood a few years ago while unemployed and it was a relaxing and gratifying..and although i consider myself a novice….i vowed that in my quest to continue towards the road of eating better that i would resurrect my garden and become a better gardener! spring has sprung here in atlanta and the blossoming trees look fantastic as the early rains helped to ensure the enduring beaut...
Tilling in the spring gets your garden ready for planting. Of course, it’s possible to plant without tilling – just look at how weeds have an uncanny ability to spring up in your lawn, between sidewalk cracks, and practically everywhere else – but, tilling makes planting much easier. Tilling will also improve the texture, or tilth, of your soil. And, if you’re adding any amendments, like sand, compost, lime, shredded leaves, or fertilizer, tilling ensures that the amendments will be mixed int...
This year has not been a very good year for most of my flowers, but I still have some surprises! I planted some hollyhocks from seeds, and for the first time since we moved here the plants grew!:-) and yesterday morning this is what I found: So, I was very happy and decided to look around to see what was going on and then:Just could not believe it!
Through the kindness of a neighbor, for the second year, the gardens have been thoroughly tilled. While the strategy is shifting to raised beds, tilling will suffice until those beds can be established. In this case, pictures serve better than words. First up is the small garden. This usually contains popcorn. But, this year, red kidney beans shall be added for their nitrogen contribution. In addition, on the south side (so the corn doesn’t shade anything), tobacco will be planted. T...
Seed journal 2008 – Appendix B Here is the next installment of the seed journal. Things not listed are the items that have already been planted. These items include the other fruit trees we’ve had for a couple of years. It also includes a number of items that we’ve seed banked from previous years.

Seed Journal 2008 Appendix A While this is not in the position of an appendix, it is one nevertheless. Since it is ready, I am uploading it. I’m including it in this blog series as a matter of course. A blog is basically a journal of activities. This doesn’t have anything to teach per se. But, if I’m going to make an attempt at building a farm/market operation, then it might provide context to other things I put in this series. This is also in a standard document on my own system so that I...
