A day without rain! Whatever shall I do?
Today there is no rain scheduled until 9pm. We’ll see how that turns out. What I need to do is pick three possible things that take a while to possibly focus on, just in case when the sun comes up it looks like that forecast holds water. (Yes. Terrible pun. Have I mentioned I love puns here yet?) Continue reading “A day without rain! Whatever shall I do?”
Gardening in the rain
This week has proven to be one where the showers are actually happening as predicted, unlike the last time rain was forecast nonstop and then kept forgetting to actually visit. Continue reading “Gardening in the rain”
Indoor pot followup – 23rd July 2018
The two seedlings have grown a bit more, and we’re thinking to give them a few more days before we transplant them. It might be faulty thinking, but after the yard party yesterday, I’d rather give them a bit more time to grow indoors so they don’t become victims of the critters. Continue reading “Indoor pot followup – 23rd July 2018”
67 days until Autumnal Equinox
Sometime in the last week, I realized that although autumn feels far off, it’s been a longer while since I last photographed snow on the ground (107 days). Continue reading “67 days until Autumnal Equinox”
Let your garden grow
Sometimes you don’t have a lot of time or resources to do what you want. Life happens and postpones things. You just can’t make up your mind. Mistakes can be made even by experienced gardeners that cause setbacks as well.
Most of what we have done last year and so far this year hasn’t felt like enough even though I’d be a dunce not to acknowledge what has changed and acknowledge we really couldn’t do much more with the time and resources we had to spare. Continue reading “Let your garden grow”
The fencing I mentioned/pictured.
We were driving back from errands the other day, and as we drove up a street near our house, I almost missed a pile of fencing leaning against a low retaining wall with a “Free” sign attached. Almost missed because it was set back a bit in the driveway and not really curbside. Continue reading “The fencing I mentioned/pictured.”
Why I like keeping garden records
Courtesy Notice: This is another of my long rambling posts.
The short answer: handy reference because my memory isn’t perfect.
The long one with history and how I arrived at my present record keeping status:
As I’ve mentioned before, last year was our first year here at Beebe, and I knew things would be a bit nuts. (Beebe is what we call our house–it’s a beekeeper surname reference since we like bees even though we don’t have the name in our ancestry that we know of, and don’t actively keep them other than try to provide plenty of food to encourage them to be here.)

At least 30 minutes in the garden goal.
After missing my first regrade deadline, I was determined to catch up somehow. I thought about a few ways to motivate myself, especially when I dithered because rains might come. Continue reading “At least 30 minutes in the garden goal.”
