More Fun in the Backyard
Well, okay, it isn’t all fun, but it is necessary. Worked a couple of days this past week in the garden, cleaning up more of the dead stuff and Dwayne had to mow. He checked his records and the...

Finally!
Mother Nature has not been kind to my inner Gardener. I wanted to get those tomatoes in the ground two months ago. It was very difficult to not buy those lovely warm season annuals. I did head over...

Getting That Itch to Dig in the Mud
Mother Nature has seen fit to make this Winter last as long as possible. My fingernails are wondering if I am mad at them since they don’t have any dirt, or mud, under them at the end of March. While...

Starting Over
The oldest section of our garden has gotten old and ratty-looking. This is from August of 2009 where it is somewhat controlled: This is from July of 2010 and everything is taking over Dwayne says...

Rhubarb!
Both Dwayne and I love rhubarb. We have been trying to figure out where we can put some rhubarb without changing his mowing pattern. We got the opportunity this Spring to help someone thin their...

Getting the Garden In
Mother Nature FINALLY got the memo that it is Spring and warmed it up. And looks like she will keep it warm, which is the important part. So those veggies and flowers that I got the other day, I can...

Spring Has Sprung!
While this winter wasn’t nearly as bad as last year, it was bad enough. The sun is shining the snow is melting (rapidly) and the chickadees and cardinals are singing their Spring songs. I went outside...

Let’s Get This Party Started!
I am finally convinced that Mother Nature is going to let me get my garden in. She may still throw a cold night my way (the average last frost date is around May 12th, after all), but I am ready....

Mowing is an Artform
I don’t mow. Dwayne tells me that I do it wrong. So, I let him. And he has, with typical Teutonic efficiency, created a worksheet. This tells him which direction he mowed the last time and which way he...
