Carrying the trend forward…
Since others have shared today, I thought I’d show a bit of what’s going on around my yard. But first, an anecdote. Mom (on the phone): Do you remember that shrub you got for me a few years ago? The

What’s eating my lantana?
Any idea what’s eating this lantana? I haven’t seen any bugs, and I’ve sprayed it down a couple times with Safer’s Insecticidal Soap.

What’s on my raspberries?
Last year was our first year in our new home. We were lucky enough to find a yard that had a ton of existing things that I’d always wanted to grow. Raspberries, peaches, plums, two types of cherries and two

I think she’s dying, and container garden happiness
I *once* had a beautiful, thriving wormwood, artemisia absinthium, in my front yard. Got full sun all day, was spreading out and up. BUT, we got the Virginia monsoons, and I think it’s rotting out. I say *think* b/c I’m

Seven kinds of tomatoes in a small garden
First off, I don’t bother with taking off the suckers, and they are unless stated otherwise planted in half buried buckets with the bottom cut off. To give each plant a little private raised bed with nice compost and to

Because not dying or putting yourself in the hospital is a great skill to have.
If you happen to make bread with yeast that is old don’t eat it. It’s nothing I had ever really thought about before since I don’t typically make bread. But I decided I wanted to make some last night for

I guess it wasn’t such a bad idea.
Yesterday I got some marigolds and petunias to put in my front yard since 3 scrawny pansies looked so pathetic. This coincided with the start of our first heatwave. I told myself I’d put them in either early in the

From dinner to growing plant :)
It’s me again, the amaryllis lady *g*, here to share some more cool photos! So my SO and I are wandering around the grocery store one day here in San Jose, & we’re in the produce area where I see

My living/dining room!
I told someone a while back that I’d post pics of my beige/brown/green/orange living room. I guess the green I’ve used is more of an olive than a sage, it has definite brown undertones. In any case… here it is.

photos of my garden…still a work in progress.
I would have liked to have done a lot more with our land but someone doesn’t want to give all his precious lawn away. Time, money, energy, space to start plants…I couldn’t get done everything I wanted and some things

More garden gloating
My berries are all raised organically. I will say that my currants look awful this year (the leaves, not the fruits) because of a heavy infestation of aphids. After much thought and examination of the fruit, I opted to do
