Container Gardening Update
Wow, it has been way too long since I last updated about my little garden this year. It has been a bit of a slow start this year due to the rather irregular weather with sandstorms, fog, rain and whatnot. Usually, the warm weather is starting in full force at this point causing my tomatoes,…

Update On Container Garden 2012
Just thought I’d give an update on my starts. The pics are from two weeks ago and I need to take new ones, but have to replant some seedlings first. Maybe next weekend….

Container Gardening Fall 2012
Yes, that’s right, it’s that time of year again – when the weather starts to break from the intolerable heat and people come out of summer hibernation. It’s also a great time to plant seeds to get them germinating for harvest in a couple of months when the weather is cool, but glorious! Now that…

Container Gardening – Summer temps…
It’s been a while since I last updated on my container gardening adventure. The tomatoes seem to be the best survivors in this weather and my gardening style. There are some carrots, but nothing really worth talking about. I attempted to revive some zucchini plants, but they seem to be stubborn about wanting to bear…

Container Gardening – Fruits of My Labor
My little garden has been growing! It seems that the tomatoes thrive the most, followed by the herbs – especially the basil, though today I cut quite a bit of parsley. My carrots have somehow gotten the gist of growing and the leaves are growing, though I’m not sure how the carrot part is doing,…

Container Gardening – Part..3/4?
My little balcony garden is starting to show signs of fruition. Yippee! The past couple of weeks have been cooler and quite windy, so the poor plants have had a bit of a rough go. However, it should make them stronger, right? I’m hoping they keep on going and as the weather starts to warm…

Gardening – Part 4
It’s been a rather long while since I’ve updated on my balcony garden. Things are coming right along, I think. The tomato plants are starting to flower. My beans are producing baby beans and also flowering. The herbs are growing like crazy and all the other plants are going strong. My only disappointment are the…

Gardening – Part 3
After just one week of planting seeds, the seedlings for almost all of them have gone up like crazy. I already need to transplant some of them before they fall over! [shashin type=”photo” id=”4389,4390,4391,4392,4395,4396,4393″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] The rest of the plants have also been doing quite well in this cooler, but still warm…

Gardening – Part 2
It’s been a couple of months since I last posted about my container gardening. So, here’s an update. I transplanted most of the seedlings and that has been going pretty well. Of 8 tomato plants, 6 have survived so far. About three of them are really growing well (pic will come later). Here are pics…

Gardening – the beginnings
We tend to not buy a lot of vegetables and then when we do they go bad from sitting out too long or neglect of use. One reason is price, cheap vegetables tend to poor quality and I hate to pay a ton for good ones. Thus, I thought it would be great to 1)…
