Spring is HERE!!!

March 20th was the first official day of spring. The weather is turning noticeably nicer. Our yard is needing some clean up. Hubby got it in his head that we needed to de-thatch the year. After he did some research, he learned that you are supposed to de-thatch the yard every 5-7 years…we have never… Continue reading Spring is HERE!!!

Good Night Garden

The weather has turned so garden beds needed to be cleaned up and tucked in for winter. I don’t grow fall crops, normally because by the time fall comes, I am done with having to deal with the garden. Also, this year for some reason I was having some sort of allergic reaction when I… Continue reading Good Night Garden

Fall is in the air … soon!

Fall is right around the corner. The cooler weather is upon us … some days at least. Evenings are for dropped temperatures and fires. My favorite time of year. Enter smiles just because the weather is not as hot, but it is still sunny. Our pumpkin patch has dead leaves and is ready to be… Continue reading Fall is in the air … soon!

Well those squash bugs have finally done my plants in. They ate their way through the stems of the squash and zucchini plants and feasted on the leaves and stem. So, while we were doing our best removing the eggs and bugs while we saw them, it wasn’t enough. I did more research into those… Continue reading Garden Box Clean Up … ???

Squash bugs are YUCK and very annoying. Once they get a hold in your garden there is no easy way to remove them and keep them out. They will lay eggs and eat (AKA destroy) your squash plants. The will also go on cucumber plants and pumpkin plants as well. Preventative measures are the best… Continue reading Squash Bugs

So, my garden took a hit this year. With my health issues my seedlings were forgotten. Then after they were planted the crazy amount of bunnies this year have caused another problem. So thankfully my kind neighbors had some extra sweet cherry tomato plants and cucumber pants. Then another wonderful lady I know planted extra… Continue reading Gardens coming along

So, where I live the normal standard for planting in the ground is after Mother’s Day. Well that was the other weekend, so my tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, dill, zucchini, and yellow squash are planted. We have been taking the plants outside to get the sun and breeze to help harden them off for like two… Continue reading Backyard Planted

Seeds ARE Planted

We started our seeds for tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, and pumpkins around March 15. We have other things we are thinking about planting this year but currently these are the only seeds we need to start. We started them in a black tray with a clear plastic lid to create a greenhouse effect. We started the… Continue reading Seeds ARE Planted

That being said I keep looking about my window at my gardens. This E garden, was our first garden. It is… Continue reading Sleeping Gardens

So our garden this year had to be changed up a little. Our first garden bed in the shape of an E is on its last leg. This year will be that last year for it. It is rotting but more than that because we could fix that, the trees have grown in such a… Continue reading Garden update!
