Ready for Summer!

May 29, 2016 By lpilewski

Thanks for keeping up and letting me catch up! It’s been a crazy spring, that’s for sure! Greg is finally done with surgery for his hiatal hernia, out of the hospital, and recovering. I’m able to get my spring garden exploits up to date. (Thanks for all the well wishes!)

Cabbage worms – yuck!

May 24, 2016 By lpilewski

OK – these aren’t my favorites. Came out to find the Romanesco broccoli leaves chewed up. Yes – it perked up after some cool days and a bunch of rain. Had to pull off these cabbage worms and squish them. Yuck!

In the Beginning

vegetables

Welcome! Follow along with me as I try gardening for the first time! My grandfather and mother are both amazing gardeners who could grow anything. Grapefruit, oranges, lemons, tomatoes, peppers, avocados, flowers, figs, mangoes, papayas – nothing seemed to wither on the vine.

Then there is me.  I’ve never had success with plants, but that is going to change this summer!  The picture above is what I see in my mind. I’m hoping that my kitchen counter will look like this. (OK, not the mushrooms, but you get the idea).

I intend to detail the journey here on a weekly basis. We’ll have to wait to see how my garden grows. Hope you stick around!
