Takes a licking and keeps on ticking, or growing
Basil Fawlty and Porchmonster Farm garden
On Sunday I came home late from a kayaking event to find that my poor plant babies had been neglected all day, sitting in the hot sun in soil baked completely dry. Everybody was wilted and withering and I wasn’t sure some of them would make it. But Basil worried me the most. He looked ne...

EATEN ALIVE!!
Rod Parsley and Porchmonster Farm garden
A few days ago I was watering everybody before leaving for work and noticed two tiny caterpillars hanging out on Rod but was in a hurry so I didn’t think too much of them and left. I figured I could pick them off later and put them in the front “yard” where they can munch all t...

On the up and up
Corianderson Cooper and Porchmonster Farm garden
Last night when I came home from work, I stopped to give Corianderson some water and pull out the leaves and stems that were either dead or clearly not going to make it. Without the clutter, he looks healthier, but I also noticed that his leaves are a darker green and more of them are entire rat...

Man, chives are not THAT hardy.
Chive Anderson Potting Up and Porchmonster Farm garden
Moe told me chives would be way easy to keep happy and healthy, but I don’t think he’s right. Chive Anderson’s leaves starting to turn yellow and die off. I may not have been watering him often enough and he may not have been getting enough light, but there were others on top ...

Escape from the kitchen hutch
Mint Romney Potting Up and Porchmonster Farm garden
Pots were finally soaked enough, and probably not a moment too soon for my peppermint to start looking sad. Currently acclimating on the porch but should be ready for the roof in a couple of days.

It's about bloody thyme!
Paul Thymon Potting Up and Porchmonster Farm garden
I’d read that thyme tends to like drier soils so I haven’t been as vigilant about watering Mr. Armstrong, and now he isn’t looking as good as before. One of the little viney stems coming up out of the soil is pretty dried out, but some of it is still green, I think, so I don...

Thoroughly grounded and potted in Christian values
Rod Parsley Potting Up and Porchmonster Farm garden
Ok, not really. If he starts pontificating to the other plants and trying to convert them to Christianity and take their money I’m throwing him off the roof. I don’t discriminate against religious preference, but I do prefer my plants to remain atheistic. Anyway, Rod has been looki...
