    Growing potatoes!

    Potatoes - Dark Red Norland and Tire Planters garden
    Actually I can’t tell whether the root (potatoes) are actually growing but they’re putting up a whole bunch of foliage. They’ve almost outgrown the 2-tire stacks I made initially, so I’ll have to figure out how to cut the belts out of the next 3 tires soon…. if anyon...

    Cucumber flowering, no fruit?

    Armenian Yard Long Cucumber and Raised Bed 2012 garden

    Petunias are finally goners

    Petunia 'Dreams White' Dying, Petunia - Fuschia Dying, Petunia - Variegated Purple Dying, and Herb and Flow...

    North Fence garden , Herb and Flower garden , Front Shade garden , and Backyard Fruit & Flower garden
    I can now track my transplanted gardenias and azaleas, the rosebushes by the fence, the pecan trees, the peach tree, and the blueberries by the A/C, in addition to all the annuals I plant in the veg garden. As we clear out the backyard I’m sure I will find more rosebushes, plus there are at...

    2012 Veg Planning

    Raised Bed 2011 garden
    1. Plant all Sharon’s F1 hybrid tomato seeds – 24 slots – in the hope that one breeds true. (Buy starts for SuperSweet at Oakhurst garden later in the season.) Get ready to container-garden intensively in the hopes of coaxing a tomato to try from each F2 plant. 2. Plant mostly Y...
