15 Jul 2010Backyard garden and Frontyard Veggie Garden garden

Just came back from a 10 day trip from Costa Rica. Asked our landlord to water the plants while we were gone because it was getting hotter and hotter during the day (finally!). I was still a little apprehensive about the plants though because I usually check for pests during the early mornings. S...25°C / 77°F -

Partly Sunny 18°C / 65°FI finally tackled the beast that was the weed patch in the front yard. We’re talking milkweeds that looked so lush, they could have come from a tropical jungle. One awesome thing about the front yard garden is that it has really nice soil – there was that huge pile of grass clippings ...

Overcast 16°C / 60°FI’ve been wondering how much a home veggie garden can save me since I read that “the average family with a vegetable garden spends just $70 a year on it and grows an estimated $600 worth of vegetables” according to the National Gardening Association. So as I begin to harvest my ...

Sunny 21°C / 70°FI have a confession to make: I’m in love with my little seedlings! There is something so fascinating about seeing them go from seeds that have been stored all winter long to these thriving, growing, healthy living things. What’s really amazing is the fact that I can see their struggle...

We left for Boston this weekend and I was worried that something was going to happen to the garden. It was very hot on Friday, and when we came back this weekend. And by “very hot” I mean, “very sunny.” I don’t think the broccolini or Galatic lettuce like the heat or...Sunny 18°C / 65°F -

10°C / 50°FMy caraway thyme has a small purple flower on one of its stems, and one of my tomatoes has a small yellow flower! I guess they’re trying to combat this rain and start shooting up. What IS up with all this rain anyways? Again, it makes for easy care for the garden since I hardly have to wate...

Planted new squash, garden bean, okra, lavender, and California poppy seeds yesterday. They are inside and should sprout in about 14 days. That means I should be able to plant by the second week of May and see some sort of harvest by June or July. Actually, that might be a very liberal estimate. ...Sunny 27°C / 80°F -

Overcast 11°C / 51°FStarted planting last month after an inspirational weed-out weekend in the plot in front of our small apartment. Serendipitously, it lead to my first veggie garden! My mother used to have fabulous gardens in 2 of the old houses we lived in. The view from my bedroom window growing up looked right ...
