It’s been quite a while since I posted anything about the gardening efforts this year. Summer suddenly seemed to start racing by sometime in mid-July, and I’ve been playing catch up in the garden ever since. Honestly, the garden wasn’t the huge success I’d hoped it would be. Oh, it … Continue reading
Along with hating leaving my kiddos, I dislike leaving my garden. I’ve grown rather fond of it, and really enjoy tending to it daily. When I got home Sunday night/Monday morning, I was too bushed to even consider going to see the garden – even if it hadn’t been night. … Continue reading
This week I decided the potatos were a lost cause. It seemed like a good idea to dig them up to see what I actually netted from the tower experiment, since the vines looked like they were dying. I didn’t want to lose any potatos. The spider mites had obliterated … Continue reading
Well. A lot has happened in two weeks. First, the good news: I’m finally beginning to harvest the fruits of my garden! It’s really exciting to head out to the garden and come back in with handfuls of goodies. Even better is watching Zac eat some of those goodies! Our … Continue reading

The garden is growing beautifully, helped along by almost a week of lovely rain. The pole beans are almost 5 feet tall already, and the basil and cucumbers are getting bushier by the day. The carrots, so slow in starting, are really beginning to show their stuff, and the chard … Continue reading
Last week I gave a progress report for May. Not a whole lot had happened since I planted everything, which was why I hadn’t updated throughout the month. I’d basically decided that a Monthly Update was how this series was going to go. What a difference a week makes! Apparently, … Continue reading
“Carrie, Carrie, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?” Quite well, thank you! Despite getting a somewhat late start, things are just popping up all over! The potatos are going nuts! They’re just about to the point where I need to add another board and top them off with some … Continue reading
