LIVING LIFE AND LEARNING ALL I CAN ALONG THE WAY
I have had a new visitor to my vegetable garden this year: deer. We have a field-ish type area behind our house, scattered with trees, and there are deer that live back there. From time to time we’ll see them in the backyard, but until this year, they’d stayed clear of my garden. A couple…
When I come home from work in the evening I like to take a stroll through my garden. I find it relaxing and peaceful and fun. I say that as if I actually had a large garden to spend time walking through — my garden area consists of a path about 20 feet long, leading…
At mid-May I would say that my garden this year is well beyond where it was last year at this time. Certainly, my perennial garden has progressed much differently. I think all of my tulips came in May last year, but this year they’ve been gone for a couple of weeks now! Sadly, that means…
I have been thoroughly enjoying the mild March we’ve had this year. I say mild, but what I really mean is HOT! Not only has it not been cold, but we had a couple of weeks of 70-80 degree temperatures. That’s weather we’re lucky to get in July! Needless to say, I’ve spent some time…
I was planning on the beginning of March be the start of my gardening season—meaning, I would start some seeds indoors to be transplanted into my garden after a couple months. I did start some seeds: tomatoes and several types of peppers. I also put some lettuce seeds in a container, to hopefully get an…
Well, I’m finally back at home for a while after about a month of travel and vacations. By “home” I mean that I have been at work and meetings and hanging out with seemingly long lost friends for the past few days. I don’t want you to think that I’ve actually attempted to catch up…
Well, seeing as though it’s almost July, I thought it would be time for a gardening update! I have been enjoying my gardens quite a bit this year, have already harvested some out of my vegetable garden and have seen lots of new flowers blooming this year in my perennial garden. The vegetables I planted…
