Snail damage and a new Gerbera
Partly Cloudy 13°C / 55°FI was not happy to discover that snails had caused serious damage to one of my hippeastrums this week. In fact, they’d chewed their way almost completely through a flower stem with a fat healthy bud on top. Not only that, but they were still at the scene of the crime, sat at the base of the...

I have no idea what kind of potatoes they are. I bought them at Cole’s from a huge bag and it didn’t have a label or anything. Maybe I will regret that later? Finally got them planted today. Started yesterday by cutting the seed potatoes into sections with an eye on each. Let the...Haze 9°C / 48°F -

Cloudy 6°C / 43°FUPDATE: I was misled by the seedlings germinating in the seedtray. They turned out to be Chickweed or some other weed. They weren’t Violets after all. None of the seeds in he tray that I sowed back in October appear to have germinated. I left the tray exposed on the balcony thinking the see...

Today I bought some Autumn Pansies from the supermarket where my wife works. I accompany her most days to her work. They didn’t have any Pansies the last time I was there, maybe 10 days ago, but this morning I’d say they had a fresh delivery as all the plants were in very good conditi...

Sunny 38°C / 100°FAugust was a bountiful month when it came to the garden. All of our hard work had finally seemed to have paid off. =) My chamomile plant that I grew from seed has popped up from the middle of the herb garden and bloomed. It was truly beautiful, but it didn’t last long. The heat was too much...

Hello, my name is....Snow White.
Kitchen gardenSunny 21°C / 69°FAnd I have photographic evidence! Let me explain. Most days, when I go out into the garden, I am surrounded by my “little helpers”. Birds flitting by, singing, and sowing various seeds all over the garden for me. Squirrels helping to replant my bulbs. Deer pruning my unruly tuli...

Late last night while unable to sleep….. I discovered where I’d like to put a moon garden. We have a small deck leading to the front door which is currently lacking plantings. It’s only about 6′ × 8′ and raised about 3’ above the ground and is so naked. ...-5°C / 23°F
