25 Sep 2008Coleus thriving along driveway Coleus and Container gardenSunny 23°C / 74°F
The other day I noticed how beautiful the coleus was that is next to our driveway. I’m not sure why this area is doing better than the potted ones…hmmm.

25 Sep 2008The plants I re-potted have been doing well - take a look! House plants gardenSunny 23°C / 74°F
About a week ago I potted up some outdoor plants to bring inside. So far so good! Here are a few pictures of them. I hope they keep blooming throughout the winter. I suppose I should fertilize them, but I haven’t bit the bullet yet. I don’t want to kill them and I don’t know...

22 Sep 2008Bounty of grape tomatoes? Tomato 'Grape' and Fruit and Vegetable gardenOvercast 20°C / 68°F
Well, I didn’t have many grape tomatoes this year. Next year we’ll be moving the plants. Every few days I would maybe get one or two. Not like last year. Actually, there were many green tomatoes, but they just never seemed to ripen. I finally picked a lot of them and put them on ...

21 Sep 2008There's a fungus amongus - zucchini issues 2 5 Zucchini and Fruit and Vegetable gardenCloudy 24°C / 75°F
My zucchini has some issues this summer. I’ll attach pictures. It looks like something was eating the stem from the inside out. Strange. I did have two plants, and I removed one that looked most diseased and since then the zucchini looks a little better, but it still did not produce muc...

21 Sep 2008Time for the lettuce to go 1 Lettuce and Fruit and Vegetable gardenI left the lettuce grow until it was about 4 feet tall! I had decided a while back that I wasn’t a fan of the bitterness, but the leaves still had a pretty color. And once the plants reached about four feet, they sprouted little flowers. Cool! Since October is almost here though, and the c...Sunny 19°C / 67°F

21 Sep 2008Potting Up Gerbera Daisy Potting Up and Container gardenI accomplished my goal of moving one of the gerbera daisy plants inside. Both of the plants had little flowers on it, so that’s good news. The one plant that I left outside had really gotten quite large. It would not have been suitable for bringing inside. Hopefully the one plant that I...Sunny 19°C / 67°F

21 Sep 2008Corn a long time gone 2 Sweet Corn and Fruit and Vegetable gardenI haven’t written a journal entry about the corn in a while. I finally did pull out the broken stalks. While it was a good experiment, and the corn actually did get to the point where it had silks on the top of the small ears, some animal broke the stalks a while back. I don’t thin...Sunny 19°C / 67°F

28 Aug 2008No more blooms, but still growing Gerbera Daisy Dying Down and Container gardenOvercast 21°C / 70°F
I had thought I could pot this plant up and bring it into the house for the winter, but now I’m not sure if I can do that. I have a few more plants that I have to tend to first. We’ll see!

28 Aug 2008Time to move the hosta? Hosta and Container gardenI know I posted about this before, but I think now is really the time to move the hosta plant. It is doing so well in its pot, but I would like to give it a chance to grow a bit in the ground before the frost kills it. I know that in just a few short days it will be September, and then time con...Overcast 21°C / 70°F
