August on My Deck

Yikes. It's been a long while since I've updated. Obviously an awful lot has happened in my gardens since my last update. The weather has been the strangest this spring/summer of any year I can recall. It has been wetter, cooler and greyer.

An Ode to Tigerella

I was going to title this “Stupid Evil Dumbass Bastards at the Gate,”(SEDBAGs for short) in honor of the Cucumber Killers next door who have taken to hacking off parts of my tomato plants with a vengeance if they deign to stray from their caged/staked confines for even

Time to start building an arc

I finally have gotten my plants! It was a slightly cold and rainy day, but that wasn't going to stop me from wandering around outside picking out my plants. Unfortunately, because of where I now live, I had to pretty much settle for the plants and Home Depot.

I need to start thinking about what I'm going to grow this year so decided to check out Richters Herbs to see what's new. I'm completely blown away by some of the unusual new selections and thought I would share. Wasabi -- I don't think

Time to get cracking.

Here it is, almost May in zone 8, and I haven't even bought my new plants! I'll spare you all the long and drawn out details, but with all the "life" going on in my life lately, I haven't had the chance UNTIL now to really get cracking on
