Yesterday I took the first class of 3 I’m taking at Natorp’s . It was the “Plan Before You Plant” workshop, where you meet with one of their designers and they will help you plan a particular part of your yard. The class was broken up between 4 designers with 5 people from...Cloudy 11°C / 51°F -

13°C / 55°FYesterday was “free tree day” at the library, so I came home with a pecan tree! It’s now planted in the backyard. While at Costco today, we saw a ton of plants they had for sale. I couldn’t decide on a bush I wanted to take home (need to do some more research first since I...

Seems like the thyme has died off. I don’t know what happened… it was doing fine – heck everything in the pot was doing fine, the basil, the sage and the rosemary. Not sure why the thyme suddenly started dying off and now it’s completely brown. Better luck next time, I ...Sunny 27°C / 81°F -

Two weeks ago (June 27th or so), the cucumbers started showing up. Now I’m losing count of how many I have! There’s so many growing now and I had to get a plant stand to help hold it up because it got so big. Guess two plants in one pot will do that :o)Sunny 27°C / 80°F -

The cucumber plantling has started to sprout flowers! It’s grown SO much in a short period of time. The bigger of the two plantlings has really taken off and I need to get it something to vine on. I’m thinking about splitting the two plants up to help the smaller one grow better, b...Sunny 26°C / 79°F -

I’ve been seeing flowers pop up here and there, but it was great to see those today :o) The only downside is that I still have these annoying gnat-li...Sunny 26°C / 79°F -

I had a dream last night that my pepper plants died and that the tomato plants seemed like they were on their way, too. The peppers were brown and wilted. I was heart-broken about it! I think the cicada’s are getting to me as are the little gnat-like bugs hanging out at the bottom of my t...Sunny 26°C / 79°F -
