09 May 2009What is this vine?? 3Overcast 24°C / 75°F
This vine came up last year and this year. I don’t know what it is. It looks like a geranium, but does not flower. I’ve been thinking about pulling it up, but I would like to know what it is. The backdrop in the picture is a bush and the vine with the heart-shaped leaves and red veins...

I pulled a couple of carrots and picked some cayenne and another squash. The season is getting underway. Tomatoes are getting bigger and cucumbers are about to come in abundance. I go out everyday to find more surprises waiting for me. So exciting.

I built a small trellis for the pole beans the other day. I used some old limbs from a plant Tripp trimmed in early spring. The beans are finally having a growth spurt and they are beginning to find the trellis. It’s strange how they reach and latch on.

The soybeans are getting bigger and I cannot wait until I can have some edamame pods for lunch. They seem to be doing great and I have a feeling we will be freezing some pods for winter.

I included a picture of the avocado seed I have been rooting for the last couple of months. I have been coddling this seed forever and the other day, its first leaves and stem peeked their little heads from the top of the already rooting seed. Yay! I’ll finally be able to pot it soon.

Today, I went out to clean with my friend, “A,” and came back home and went straight to gardening. I planted the Thornless Blackberry plant that I got the other day at Point of View Market, and I transplanted the tomato plants – because they REALLY needed it. Yesterday, I plante...

Well, I got out this morning and built a flower bed – I tilled it up a couple of weeks ago – and planted some wildflowers. That’s it in the picture above. It is actually outside next to our screened porch. It will be nice to be able to cut my own wildflowers.
