I love my landlord. He was around doing the yard work that generates crap that we can’t haul anywhere since we’re not actually homeowners ™, and I asked if it would be ok if we tackled trying to get rid of the rose bush from hell (which I have dubbed Operation Napalm). Not only did […]
I’ve pulled all the remaining tomatoes. We have frost warnings for the next two nights (tonight will probably be ok here on the coast, but tomorrow night will likely do us in). The sad thing is, once that’s done, we’re in for another week’s worth of 70-degree weather, so it’s entirely possible these would have
I’m pretty happy with what the garden looks like at the moment. The back garden especially looks so well composed with what I have back there this year. I have no idea how it’s going to look come Monday. Hurricane Irene may not be very kind. All of the pots will be going into the
Yesterday’s haul was: corn, kale, turnips, garlic, jalapenos, green beans, Romano beans, summer squash, potatoes, and a lovely bouquet of flowers (the pick your own section at the farm must be doing really well). The corn was actually separate from my other picks, but was so nice and big and green, I had to grab
We were away for five days, and during that time, the Thai basil went to seed. I had no idea it had such pretty flowers. I’ll continue to buy this for the ornamental properties! Look how pretty it is next to the marigolds: The veggies are doing well. The Swiss chard is looking amazingly lush,
Today’s haul was: scallions, broccoli, potatoes, lettuce, cilantro, cucumbers, Romano beans and green beans. In other news, I got my first tomato!! And it was delicious. Everything else is still firmly green, so I have no idea when I’ll get the next.
Actual pictorial proof – green tomatoes, and decent size peppers! And cilantro gone to seed is fairly cool looking too, though not as nice as dill.
It’s been hot. Disgustingly, nastily hot. I’d gone out expecting to get pictures of the little tomatoes and peppers on my plants, but gave up shortly after getting the large scale pictures, and stuff from the front of the garden (dill gone to seed, is lovely, isn’t it?) The tomato plant is doing really well.
This week’s haul was: Swiss chard, kale, salad mix, turnips, scallions and garlic scapes. We didn’t have garlic scapes last year, so that’s new and exciting. We also had beets as an option, as apparently it’s shaping up to be a very good beet year, but only the red ones are ready at the moment,
The pot farm is doing well – my tomato plant actually has flowers, and the cilantro is looking lush and lovely. I could totally use it in recipes right now. I seem to have hit the right size for herb pots – none of them are drying out after only one day. The BF provided
