29 Aug 2008Pulled up the pumpkin today Pumpkin and Fruit and Vegetable gardenOvercast 22°C / 71°F
Well, I pulled up the pumpkin. It was starting to take over part of the lawn that I didn’t want it to go to, and I didn’t have more room to move the vines. Although I have bees come to do their thing, I never saw anything that looked like a baby pumpkin bud near any of the flowers. ...

29 Aug 2008No more Kohl Rabi this year Kohl Rabi Harvesting and Fruit and Vegetable gardenI pulled up the last Kohl Rabi plant last week. I haven’t peeled it yet, but I have a feeling that it is quite woody. It had grown to appropriate size about two weeks ago, and I was just too lazy to pull it up. Well, it is pulled up now, and there are no more to harvest. I was a little ...Cloudy 22°C / 72°F

29 Aug 2008Dahlia pulled up Dahlia Dying Down and Container gardenAfter I moved the Dahlia into it’s own pot, it started to take a turn for the worse. No, scratch that, I remember that the plants was getting sort of bushy, with no more flowers, so I cut it back rather drastically. I don’t think I took much care in doing it, so I think the plant we...Cloudy 22°C / 72°F

24 Jul 2008Giving the daisies some room Common Evening Primrose Moved and Container gardenAbout two weeks ago I moved the primrose into its own pot. It was taking up too much room in the container garden, and wasn’t growing well anyway. Next year, no primroses. I think they look nice at the time, but I have never had much luck with them.Overcast 26°C / 79°F

24 Jul 2008two more kohlrabi Kohl Rabi Harvesting and Fruit and Vegetable gardenBecause the kohlrabi no longer appears to be growing bigger, but the vegetable part is growing longer, I decided to pull up two more today. I think that leaves one left, but I don’t remember. Strangely, the leaves appear to have been eaten by bugs of some sort, but the vegetable part is a...Overcast 26°C / 79°F

24 Jul 2008What pretty flowers! Gerbera Daisy and Container gardenEvery time I got out my back door I am greeted by my two gerbera daisy plants in their containers. How pretty they are! I can’t wait to repot them when the fall comes so I can bring them into the house. I think they are hardy enough now to do that.Overcast 26°C / 79°F

24 Jul 2008Moving the hosta? Hosta and Container gardenI’m just about ready to move the hosta plant. I had been given this plant by a friend, and because when I got it it was in sad shape because it had sat in my car all day, I thought I should give it a chance in a container garden first. Well, I’m happy to say that it is growing well...Overcast 26°C / 79°F

24 Jul 2008I've got bees! Pumpkin and Fruit and Vegetable gardenI was just about to do the hand-polinating thing today with the pumpkin blooms, when I looked inside one of the flowers and there were two bees inside happily flittering away! Wow! I backed up quietly from the pumpkin patch and let the bees do their work. Who knew? Maybe I’ll have pumpkin...Overcast 26°C / 79°F

13 Jul 2008All blooms but no pumpkin?? 3I’ve never grown pumpkins, and I’ve also not read much about growing them (which I need to remedy). My big question is this. The plant has generated lots of flowery blooms, which seems like it would be a good thing. However, these blooms just dry up and fall off…they don̵...
