  • Georgia O’ Keefe

    Nobody sees a flower-really- it is so small it takes time- we haven’t time- and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.” Georgia O’Keeffe

  • First Signs of Summer Veggies

    It looks like my luck with cucumber plants may be changing. Look at this guy he is going to be a beauty. I’m just hoping I can get to him before the field mice and/or the dogs. Can you believe that Maya ate the deformed one right after I took the picture? The tomato plants…

  • Cube Farm Plants

    Like many of us I work in a cube farm. Unlike other crappy cubicles I’ve had in the past this space has nice tall wall seperators, shelving and flourescent lighting for my desk. When I first started working here I brought in some house plants to spruce up the place and I was content with…

Recently there has been an explosion of spiders. When the sun sets you catch them glittering between every…

  • Cucumber Challenged

    I love cucumber but it is an unrequited love. I orginally grew several plants. I kept three for myself and gave the others to friends. The first two died within a month. The last one didn’t grow for three months. It just stayed in this stunted form while my friend’s plants flourished. That was until…
