My garden is doing so wonderfully! I planted sunflower seeds about ten days ago and eight of them have come up. I’m hoping to see one more pop out. They are the gigantic sunflowers so they have to be planted eighteen inches apart. I was sick on Wednesday (food poisoning) and am still feeling [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

My life is so busy, much too busy for my tastes. I’d prefer to water the garden early in the morning, or let an automatic watering system do it for me, but I don’t have it set up yet, and alas I work four days a week, so those days I can’t water early, [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

When I planted my garden in September, I thought most of my two year old seeds would still be viable. Sadly, that was not the case and only a fraction of [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Last night we feasted on a lovely salad, made with this giant head of lettuce from my garden. I believe it is a romaine-type lettuce. I get my lettuce seeds from Pinetree, I love their lettuce mix.

I really must do some research at the store and see how much Swiss Chard costs. When I have looked, it looks like 6 to 10 leaves cost $2 or more.
