Garden Growth–17th April, 2019

I tried to get as much in as I could today because there’s a lot of rain predicted in the next couple of days, and it was too windy to finish moving the compost yesterday.  Cooler today, but definitely broke 60° F this afternoon. Continue reading “Garden Growth–17th April, 2019” →

Garden Growth–15th April, 2019

Got caught in today’s spring shower, which was anything but light though it was warm (at first anyway)!  My sweatshirt hanging on a chair by the dining room radiator still isn’t dry, but then again the heat has barely needed to come on today.  Another 60°F day.

Garden Growth–14th April, 2019

Crazy busy day, and might have gotten more done if not distracted by a family phone call.  It was still very productive, and I have a film crew in town that ran over schedule to thank for that–an event held on location was waylaid giving him more time to work with me today.

Garden Growth–April 13, 2019

The first in what I hope will become a regular effort to streamline a garden journal to have at least a finished dead basic record of what I’ve done on a given day.  Here goes! Continue reading “Garden Growth–April 13, 2019” →

Fly By Notes, 28 March 2019

Time to write just about anything in a focused manner lately has been hard to come by, so here’s a sort of organized bullet list both for me and anyone that is curious about what I’ve been up to in the last few days.

Cilantro: “We don’t want to go on the compost. We feel fine!”

While doing dishes, I noticed a bit of green inside one of the mini mason jar greenhouses.  Sure enough, at least one of the herbs was making it know that they were not, in fact, dead.  Continue reading “Cilantro: “We don’t want to go on the compost. We feel fine!”” →

Herb kit pots update

So it’s the 21st (when the herb kit packets said I’d see some sign of life), and no sign of green in any of the herb pots–not even the basil which I had put some plastic over loosely two days ago as I read somewhere they really like to be warm. Continue reading “Herb kit pots update” →
