Sunny 26°C / 79°FLooking at the photo I have as the main picture for this garden amazes me, because it’s clear just how much things have grown just in two weeks. I’ll have to update it. Earlier in the week we finished getting the trellises up. Since the pipe was an odd diameter, my husband wound up us...

I’ve got two seedlings up, and I need to pick one and cut the other out, but I haven’t come to a decision yet.Storms 26°C / 79°F -

This just in from the land of craziness: This plant already has peppers on it. It had blooms when I bought it and maybe I should’ve removed those, but between last night and tonight two of them have turned into wee little jalapenos.Sunny 24°C / 76°F -

Sunny 30°C / 86°FThe lettuces are growing really well. I’m very pleased. It’s gotten very hot very fast, though, so I’m hoping they don’t bolt too soon. I harvested enough for a reasonable-sized salad for just me today. My favorite is still salt first, then olive oil, then vinegar, then a ...

I have to say, there really doesn’t seem to be much work to do in the SFG now every square has been sown. Some of the radishes seem to be going gangbusters even through the mulch, finally. I’ve been keeping up with the weeding and the amount I have to do seems to decrease daily. I wis...Sunny 28°C / 82°F -

It’s wild. Between 2 this afternoon and now, at 6 in the evening, these have gone from barely being bent-over little elbows of plants to showing their seed leaves. I planted a few seeds in each spot, and only one spot’s come up so far. The other can’t be far behind; they’r...Sunny 28°C / 82°F -

Well, tonight I discovered one tomato plant was completely ripped from it’s base in the soil and chewed in two, then the top of the main stem on my other plant was chewed off. So sad!! Thankfully, and highly unusual, I had two extra plants left in the greenhouse that looked pretty good, whi...Cloudy 18°C / 65°F -

RainyIt’s a dull, dreary rain day so my plans to mulch the garden today will have to get put off till tomorrow, I guess. On the bright side, the overcast, moist day will probably benefit all the new seedlings I planted yesterday. I got the last of the seeds in too, so I’m finally done planting … the ...

The radish is doing great in the container. It’s a self-watering container too, so hopefully it’s getting water only when it needs it instead of my over watering, which I have probably done in the past.Sunny 21°C / 69°F -

Two days ago the beans were just sprouting, little bent-over elbows in the dirt. I went out tonight and they’re really, fully up. Five of the eight I planted are going gangbusters and have big ol’ leaves already. Not bad, especially given I forgot to presoak the seeds!Cloudy 27°C / 80°F -

The lettuces have gotten big enough I feel confident I can harvest leaves from the outside now. I didn’t want to take enough to make a big salad, but I couldn’t resist taking just one from the Simpson lettuce. It’s extremely flavorful… slightly bitter, but very, very good....Cloudy 27°C / 80°F -

Vertical frames and new plants and mulch
Square Foot gardenSunny 23°C / 73°FIt was an absolutely gorgeous day so I thought it’d be a great time to do some serious work on the square foot garden. The peas are getting really tall and need a support to climb, and somehow we haven’t yet got it built. I had my husband buy the pipes as recommended in the SFG book, ...
