Transplantation Station

I took advantage of the amazing weather this weekend, and did some transplanting. The two Sure Thing squashes were moved (they really should have been done last weekend, but I didn’t get to it – their roots floweth over), 6 Roma tomato plants were moved, and one of the basil plants. They are all doing [...]

Here comes the Sun (do do do do)

Anyone else want to break out in the Beatles’ song when you see a pretty yellow flower? Because I do. LOOK AT THIS BABY! The first daffodil has arrived!  Sun, sun, sun, here it comes!

Slacker

I thought that I would at least be able to post every other day, but I have already missed that boat. I have been out enjoying the beautiful weather in NJ this weekend, and have about 5 posts “in the works”, but have yet to organize the pictures and get them finished. I’m going to [...]

Summer Squash

For the last two years in our garden, we’ve had tremendous success with summer squash and zucchini. We’ve bought 2 – 3 little yellow squash and zucchini seedlings (each), and gotten more squash than my husband & I could eat. This year, we are actually trying to grow them from seeds. I picked up a [...]

Dirt

I’ll let you in on a little secret, I don’t actually like to touch dirt. I know, I know, I’m writing about gardening and I don’t like touching dirt. Of course, sometimes its inevitable, but I like to avoid when possible. The way to do that: Garden Gloves!   These are so adorable! Only $1 [...]

Almost spring…

I thought March 1st was appropriate to share my first post with the world – or more likely, my nearest and dearest.  March is the month that holds the Spring Equinox (in the Northern Hemisphere anyway), and when we start to find that perfect weather balance – not too cold, not too hot – while [...]
