ХудожникподаръциLast fall Papa and I collected a few rain barrels. We hoped to give the plants rain water as much as possible, and lower our water bill in the process. This designer model was a Mother’s Day gift from D3 a few years back, and it has been getting a workout ever since it arrived. [...]

A few years ago, I wanted to have more perennial plants, and reduce the amount I spend for annuals in our flower beds. I purchased the two outside plants, and the center one was a gift from my daughters. They have been in three places in the yard, and I think we finally found a [...]

D3 planted a small raspberry patch at the edge of the garden a few years ago. It is a lot of work, but we get quite a few berries from the bushes. They are looking strong this spring. If you strain your eyes, you will see my cabbage and broccoli at the right. It is [...]

Papa and I went out to the garden last night, and picked many cucumbers and zucchini. We also cut a lot of lettuce, and pulled a few carrots and beets. I picked one cabbage to eat, I enjoy slaw this time of year. I was able to give some cucumbers away, but we are overrun [...]

I’ve had more problems than usual with my vegetable garden this year. We had to replant the lettuce and the carrots. The beets came up pretty spotty. A few of our tomatoes suffered frost damage, and some tomatoes just died, don’t know why. To top it all off, a few days ago, 12+ broke off [...]
