I can’t say “revisited” because this was the first visit. I’ve had my romaine munched so I sprinkled bone meal, blood meal and scattered enough moth balls to keep the surrounding area free of moths for a year. That didn’t seem to deter the latest invader, though. To make it short, I’ll let the pictures [...]

It was Mother’s Day and I was in for a real treat. I didn’t know it when I got up. Several months ago, I’d emailed my neighbor and said I wanted to hire her to build me some more Square Foot boxes. When she got home from her extended construction job, she told me she’d [...]

When I got up this morning I hadn’t yet thought of anything to write for a post tonight. Before the day was over, it was almost written for me. I didn’t have to think twice about what to do or how to do it. I’d gone out to check on my little garden during a [...]

This will be (I hope) a quick update for this year’s Square Foot Garden. Several Sundays ago, I planted onion sets, basil, and spinach. The basil and spinach haven’t made an appearance—and I’m beginning to give up on it. I think I’ll have to replant. The onions are going like gangbusters, though: There are a [...]

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood and there was activity in the woods. I was standing at the kitchen sink this morning and noticed a movement outside the window. Maybe 30 feet away, there was a deer munching away on the spring greenery. Not more than 10 feet from it was another one [...]

I can’t help it. I love summer and I love good summertime homegrown tomatoes and NOW I HAVE MY OWN! They are slowly ripening. I could get out there and cheer them on but I don’t think it would help any. Remember these pictures? I’m probably the only person on this mountain that takes glamor [...]

It’s been a full two weeks since I last reported on my square foot garden and there have been happenings. Here’s the story in text and pictures: This morning, I went out to see how everything was going. I’d been watching a couple of little “toms” ripen and lo! one looked as if it were [...]

I’ve been watering my little garden every day to keep it green and growing. The people I work with who have conventional gardens either have to water or let their gardens burn to a crisp. We haven’t had a good rain for weeks. There’s been a smattering here and there but it’s getting scary dry [...]

My poor little garden is beginning to not be poor any more. It’s growing! I’ve been able to apply some worm tea to one of the boxes but I don’t remember which one it was. I should have noted it for comparison but it’s too late now. Fish emulsion in rainwater is another thing I’ve [...]

I’ve been asked to do some more raw vegan recipe posts complete with pictures but I haven’t had time to concoct anything, let alone photograph it. I’ll get around to it maybe this weekend but I’m not making any promises. In the meantime, I’d taken some pictures to chronicle my worm farm aka vermiculture so [...]
