Summer is here, and that means more outdoor activities! I love the outdoors, obviously, and I’m constantly begging my husband to go on bike rides with me, go swimming, go to amusement parks, picnics, you name it. I love getting down and dirty in my gardens, and always come out at the end […]
There are times when a gardener simply has nothing to do but sit and enjoy the weather and their garden. This weekend is one of those for me. I’ve weeded, pruned, and watered. I’ve finished putting a fence around my vegetable patch. Rain is coming in, and I’m in between planting […]
I’ve never been much of one to order things online, I’d rather see what I’m buying first. But Shai here at b5 sent me a link to an online ordering center for plants, Bloomscape. I must say I’m very impressed with their site and philosophy. A very easy to use site, geared […]
I just noticed that one of my cherry tomato plants is actually two! I didn’t see it when I planted them. They were growing in one container and I just planted it that way! I’ll need to split them up before they get too big!

The weather channel reported a frost warning for our area this evening. Normally, you want to avoid protecting plants if possible, since it makes them more hardy to cold weather. But it’s been rather chilly the past couple of days, so I took this warning seriously and have decided to protect my plants. […]
This little lima bean plant was the first thing to come up in my vegetable patch! I was beginning to despair, with two weeks of no rain and no sign of growth, I was wondering if hauling water everyday was really worth it. But three days ago I spotted this little plant peaking […]
