I have decided to share as many pics as I can along my winter garden journey. It was last year that I started all of this and it has been a fun year. My summer garden was crazy big and sucessful and to start over for the winter is so much fun. The only two […]

I have loved having my winter garden. Everything is coming up and doing great. I am hoping the first freeze waits for me to harvest a cucumber or two – maybe I planted them late, not sure. The thing about gardening is – it’s easy and fun. I love checking it everyday. It is so […]

I planted kale, spinach, onions, collards, broccoli, dill, lima beans, green beans, purple hull peas, sugar snap peas, lettuce, cabbage, and tulips for fun! My […]

So I’m out in my garden and I hear a rustling noise. I see a brown object race by my feet and I get a quick glimpse… it’s a rabbit! It was big too!! At first I was mad – I mean the nerve of him trying to get to all my home grown greens. […]

I love tomatoes and before building my garden this year, I had never ever grown a tomato plant. I have enjoyed lots of tomatoes and they have done very well. I water them a lot. On hot sunny days, they get watered twice. For Mother’s Day, Kent installed a automatic watering system for my garden. […]

I started my strawberries in my old picnic table. I planted the ever-bearing type. They struggled at first but have really taken off. I plan to have a fall crop and then a spring and a fall again. Donna Faye at Sweet Organic Solutions in Pearland told me they would produce 4 times. I plan […]
