With the weather cool enough to work outside, I’ve managed to spend an hour or so a day in the vegetable garden, cleaning up and getting ready for next spring. We gardeners are an optimistic bunch, for sure. I have been complaining this summer/fall about how poorly my garden has done this ...Mostly Cloudy 13°C / 55°F -

I was up to 7 ears of red corn … until last night. RACOONS ! Darn things got into it and made a right royal mess. I just might have two ears left. They also got into the ‘mini’ corn and the other yellow corn, but thankfully the yellow corn hasn’t done anything but bloo...Rainy 27°C / 81°F -

Rainy 32°C / 90°FPulled all the garlic today and I’m pretty pleased with the harvest. The ones that impressed me the most were the German Red, although there’s nothing red about mine. All of the heads are nice and big and the same from the beginning to the end of the row. I was disappointed in the ...

Rainy 32°C / 90°FActually did some gardening today, spurred on by delight that I’m actually going to get some red corn this year and getting past the fear that every little thing I do is going to bring on a heart attack. At least I think I’m going to get red corn. I’m assuming that those bulle...

Sunny 33°C / 91°FOther than a bit of gardening/watering in the morning and late evening, it’s been too hot to do much in the garden. Because of the heat, the peas are definitely done, just need to find a cool time to pull the plants. So far this year, I have been unsuccessful at seeding rutabaga and sunfl...

Finally planted out the variegated Solomon’s Seal (Shade Ga...Storms 28°C / 82°F -

Haven’t done a lot in the garden since the vegetable beds were done. Have added some soil to the box with the red corn in it. I think something was digging in there, but can’t be sure. Out of 16 plants, there are only 14 left. I hope that’s enough to get some pollination goi...Storms 27°C / 81°F -

It was hot today, but the humidity was low compared to the last few days, so we finished putting in the last three vegetable beds. (insert Happy Dance here) I planted the zucchini and squash seeds from Cristina in them … one bed each. I’ll have to figure out something for those squa...Storms 26°C / 79°F
