Final Garden Update 2019
So I didn’t get the final numbers in at all for last year. I have written nothing this year so far. But for my own records if nothing else, I wanted them all tallied up.

I hope that you have had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend. As we have begun our new school year, I have had a distinct lack of time for gardening.

This harvest includes the first tomato of the season! For northern gardeners who don’t have greenhouses, this is a great milestone! Also the first red hot pepper of the season. Pretty cool stuff.

Memorial Day where I live really starts the garden season in full swing. Pretty much everything that hasn’t already been planted gets planted by the first of June. So it is definitely time to get those last minute things in the ground. My deck is loaded with plants still to plant. Many are flowers, but… Read More Garden Update 5/29/18
Garden Update 5/21/18
We were out of town almost all week. We were travel schooling and tagged along on one of my husband’s work trips, which is one of the perks of homeschool. Grandpa and Grandma babysat the plants for us. When we got home, everything looked pretty good! Outside… The peas are growing nicely. I put some… Read More Garden Update 5/21/18

Here is a shot of the progress on the seedlings. More flowers that have sprouted. The sunflowers have been moved closer and out of… Read More Garden Update 5/7/18
