Such a weird year that I did not do a single garden update post…. or even an intro post. fighting off the rabbits Right amount of tomatoes Herbs did really well Beans feel a little bit like a waste since I only ever get one crop in – but I do love them. Skip the…
Funny story. I wrote nearly this entire recap post in September… and it has taken me this long to finish it. I’m getting ready to think about this year’s garden plans. I’ve got about 15 tabs open in my browser and they are all different tomato varieties. The tomatoes were pretty solid this year. Solid…
This year I have inadvertently – and wonderfully – become a home to so many butterflies. It is wonderful. I am sure that I say this somewhat regularly… but I have not gotten so much joy and relaxation from something unintended recently. I planted these Mexican sunflowers in my garden that have grown to be…
I am not sure why, but I have simply not been compelled to write a garden update this year. It’s real lunacy given how much I depend on them when I’m garden planning each winter. Honestly, I think I’ve been waiting for some real bad weather or frankly a reason to sit in front of…
Gardening season is a wonderful thing. It’s the time of year when I’m legit filthy and with limited cares in the world. My mind is a tangle of tomato plant arrangements and drip irrigation plans. I think about whether the peppers would like to be near the dahlia plants and whether it is worth it…
I took a health survey earlier this week that strongly recommended I eat more vegetables. I failed at that for several days until today. A trip to Trader Joes for some cauliflower and a nice new recipe that I found on the internet. I used to get a lot of my inspiration from Food52 but…

This post is heavily delayed but I wanted to write it none the less. I think this past summer’s tomato varieties were the best yet. I almost wouldn’t change anything except for the fact that I like trying new varieties too much. I got too busy last year and never wrote a 2017 recap, but…
I’m just going to start by saying that I’m very pleased with my tomatoes this year. Of course I have too many – but I’m incredibly pleased with the varieties for this year. It’s a Grade A+ assortment. Not to be outdone, the flowers are also putting on quite a show. It’s like the whole…
It’s been quite a hot second since the last garden update… and things are doing well. I hate to say “Great” because I feel like that is the fastest way to jinx anything – especially a garden. So how are things going? Pretty solid. Last year there was this period of crazy rain the first…
