  • Rocky the Tomato

    I had planted Roma Tomato seeds a few months ago. I was told by experience gardeners that planting from a seed wouldn’t work and that it’s best just to buy a vine from a local gardening shop. After a few weeks they flourished and I had an abundance of tomato seedling plants. Then we had…

  • The Planting Project

    After working all Saturday at a local event. Simon and I relaxed this weekend by harvesting some of our plants. It’s hard to believe the little seedlings I grew a few months ago had grown into these full spinach plants. We also added a few of our onions to our salad. The end result was…

  • I think they are trying to tell me something

    Apparently, the dogs think I spend too much time on the computer. They keep stepping on my feet, lying under the desk, and Maya keeps pushing my hands off the keyboard with her nose.

  • Keeping the Fido Out of the Garden

     I have been looking for ideas on how to keeping pets out of the gardens. I think the most foolproof way is to install netting or fencing around the perimeter of the plants. My internet search also included some rather interesting and questionable methods for detering pets. I would love to hear feedback from anyone who has…

  • Spot the Frog

    It took me forever to try to take a picture of this frog. The lake was filled with them but they would jump and hide and then most of the pictures I did take didn’t turn out because they could blend with the colors of the rocks.
