In the Garden


I find it so interesting that the bees love the alliums and chives.  They (plants) are definitely keeping harmful bugs away from the plants around them.  I can see a huge difference between my chive-surrounded lilac and the lilac by itself. 


And here we are, the garden Day 1.  Everything's planted although we still need a gate!  Next year, raised beds.  I am very grateful to have a compost pile again (surrounded by rocks in the back.)  It is nice to know we are giving a little bit back to the soil instead of putting it all in land fills.  Despite the sad grass in front of our garden area, most of our yard looks very nice!

  1. I see some green in the garden. 8^)
    I don't think I've seen such an elaborate set-up for a backyard garden, unless there were deer nearby, but it's very nice.

  2. It looks awesome Karen -- I love that cute fence! It's so cool that you'll be able to keep the varmints (ha!) out!

  3. Love your bee picture and it looks like you have a great start on your garden. We have been eating some wonderful lettuce, a couple strawberries and almost ready for spinach. Did your seedlings transplant OK?

  5. Wow - great job you two! It looks wonderful! Oh so many fresh goodies to come not too long from now! I can tell how cold and wet it's been there, too, from how green everything is!
    Cheers!

garden panos from 2023

 Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening.  So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October.  As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc.  I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March!  What are you planting?  

Night

Trixie (as in Speed Racer) and Stitch (as in per inch) Night My kitten walks on velvet feet And makes no sound at all; And in the doorway nightly sits To watch the darkness fall. I think he loves the lady, Night, And feels akin to her Whose footsteps are as still as his, Whose touch as soft as fur. Lois Weakley McKay ... a childhood favorite from The How and Why Library. Thank goodness my parents moved last year and sent this book my way. Otherwise, I would have just the first line running through my head forever!

Spring Means Baseball!

I've had this idea for a knitting pattern in my head and it's finally come to fruition!  I am still polishing up the pattern, but here's a quick peak:  PS:  There's more than one size and this one is too big for me but it was the only one I had "stitched up."
