Garden Gab, Blooms and Bugs
I’ve got some beautiful blooms going on. And Gnomes….we have a blue hat and a red hat. Not choosing a side. Bug eggs….. And blasted baby bugs. I missed the first few sets of eggs…apparently.
Garden Gab, Week 9
This week my garden is in major production mode. Zucchini, yellow squash, cucumbers…we got em. Beans and peas are booming! My onion has a flower. Cucumber and squash. The tomatoes are ripening….finally! The baby watermelons are growing well. I just found another this morning, so now we have 4. The 3 bigger ones are pictured …
Garden Gab, weeks 5 and 6
Pictures from my growing garden. Flowering bean plants. Lettuce. My 5 tomato plants. I’m growing corn, well corn stalks. Beets, peppers and (I think) watermelons. I did not plant lettuce there. It must have washed there in the heavy rain a few weeks ago. What one thing does not belong? The little oak tree. We …
Garden Gab, week 2, 3 and….
Happy Friday the 13th Peeps! may your day be nothing like the long running horror movie series. Meh. It’s been a while since I’ve posted a regular garden update. Surgery can do that to a girl. Here are some pictures of my garden’s progress. The raised bed garden is doing much better than the in …
Rainy Day Garden Gab

Garden Gab weeks 22 and 23….and freezer jam
So, it’s hot…Yep a shocker I know! Last week, instead of Garden Gab on Friday I posted a whole wheat chocolate cake recipe. I know, the cake was lovely, but it felt strange after 21 weeks of garden posts to not have one last week. So, to correct that and make myself feel better….This week …
Kids ~VS~ Veggies…
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We had a very nice weekend. School starts today. This is bittersweet. While I am glad to have a little time to myself to chill out, shop or clean…I will miss them. A lot. Since I’ve got kiddo on the brain, I have a kid-centric post for …
Garden Gab, week 21….a cool down, a loss and a nursery rhyme
Mary Mary quite contrary, How does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells And pretty maids all in a row, And pretty maids all in a row. That’s how the nursery rhyme goes, however I was disturbed when I looked up the meaning of the rhyme. It’s about Queen Mary, torture and executions. …
