No photos yet, because there's nothing to show, but I have six of my eleven hydroponics kits up and running, plus two trays of microgreens. The microgreens are for the chickens primarily. The hydroponics are a mix - three are lettuce, one is all basil, one is all mix herbs, and one has tomatoes. It's … Continue reading Hydroponics

Garden Isn’t Going Well
It's been ridiculously hot and dry, and as much as I'm watering, my garden is both struggling and getting out of hand. It's too hot to weed most of the time, so that's getting crazy. And some plants have died because of the heat, despite watering. On top of that, some of the heavier plants … Continue reading Garden Isn’t Going Well
Processing Peppers
We have ALL the peppers coming in from my garden! This is two weeks of harvest, and I'm cutting up the older ones and freezing them. I didn't get to all of them, so some went back in the fridge while I wait for the first batch to freeze. I'm so happy with how my … Continue reading Processing Peppers
Garden Update
Just a photo dump garden update. Lots of weeds, so ignore those. Dill: Chives and buckwheat. One year old grapes on the left, with bunches! New grapes buried in the weeds, so I need to clear that out. Perpetual spinach, swiss chard, tomatoes, peppers. Blackberries. Overview from the outside.
Last of the Peas Stir Fry!
It's getting too warm out for the peas, but I gathered the last of the good ones and had a stir fry with them.
Replanted Hydroponics
I cleaned and replanted 7 of my 8 hydroponics kits. Yes. I have 8 of them. On with the photos! The last hydroponic has a still fruiting tomato plant, so I'm leaving it for now.
Friday Garden Update!
Everything is greening up and most of it is doing well, so I'm super stoked! I really need to weed.
Peach Tree Might Not Make It
One of my peach trees isn't doing so well. There are the same number of leaves since I planted it in April, and they're the same size with no sign of growth. This is NOT promising. Any advice?
Strawberry Season Has Begun!
I got home from my inlaws this Sunday to discover that a full handful of strawberries were ripe in my garden! Delightful. You'd better believe I ate those up, still warm from the sun! Lettuce is ready to harvest, and I have a variety of green peppers growing. It's getting exciting out there! Photos is … Continue reading Strawberry Season Has Begun!
Garden Update Picture Dump!
We have been busy, busy, busy in the garden, and I've had a LOT of help, so thank you to those people! So here's some photos. Buckwheat and sorghum Chives I planted way back in 2013! Some weeds, but mostly dill. Raspberries and celery on the right bed. Grapes and volunteer onions on the left. … Continue reading Garden Update Picture Dump!
