Overcast 20°C / 68°FIt’s been a busy week in the garden. Last weekend was the King County Master Gardener Plant Sale. Picked up a lot of things, then installed an irrigation system in my veggie garden. That didn’t work out so well – the sprayers don’t seem to be getting enough water to spray ...

Partly Cloudy 10°C / 50°FToday was partly sunny in the afternoon after showers this morning. Despite having been sick, I wanted to get outside at least a little. I picked up some compost since I’d used it all up prepping the veggie beds earlier this year. I also picked up some geraniums, bacopa, periwinkle and neme...

Clear 9°C / 48°FWell, it’s been ages since I last updated my garden journal. I’m going to skip all the happenings since then, and just start fresh. Today I finished up the new beds for the veggie garden and added my dividers. This year I’m experimenting with bamboo poles to divide my squares. U...

Sunny 16°C / 60°FToday was supposed to have intermittent showers, but it was pleasant and sunny all day instead. I was able to get some time out in the yard. I mostly just checked on my plants, but I did transplant one of the two borage in the third bed to the second bed, and moved one of the dill seedlings as we...

Sunny 23°C / 73°FCan’t believe what a beautiful spring we’ve been having. Next week looks rainy, but I’ve been having to water things in my garden rather frequently. Today was lawn mowing, setting up the irrigation system in the more complicated of the veggie beds (since I’ve been needing ...

Sunny 19°C / 66°FBeautiful outside! I took a little time this morning to put out bark around the forsythia, and transplant the flowers to the front beds that I’ve been putting off. This is amazing weather.

Sunny 18°C / 64°FYet another beautiful sunny day! I was able to spend some time this morning planting some of the plants I purchased yesterday. I also setup my soaker hose and discovered I need to modify it and need some more pieces to do so. It can’t get the water into the second bed – too much of a ...

Both King and Snohomish County had their Master Gardener’s plant sales this weekend, and Seattle Tilth’s edible plant sale was this weekend as well. Unfortunately, I worked yesterday afternoon and this morning, leaving me with just a few hours to...

Rainy 12°C / 54°FWell, the puppy was playing in the yard while I was doing some sanding in the garage and she got through the fence protecting the asparagus crowns and dug them up, ran around the yard with them. I’m thinking that’s probably it for them. The one she got to was the only one she hadnR...

Partly Sunny 13°C / 55°FHad a little time this morning to pop over to the nursery, but I only left with plant labels. I also took some time to plant out the marigolds that have been hardening off. Two into the veggie garden, 2 next to the rhubarb, and 1 under the forsythia next to the tulip. I left them in pairs, and wi...
