It’s winter and that means peas!

February 21, 2016 By lpilewski

It’s February and time for planting peas. I was actually a week late getting these done, but we had pesky weather last week. A high of 32 on Sunday followed by ice on Monday. After a bit of a disappointment this weekend, the sugar snaps got planted today.

Let’s Go Again!

May 25, 2015 By lpilewski

Round two for the squares that were harvested as well as the addition of a new tomato! We wound up replacing 6 squares total – one each zinnia and marigold that didn’t grow,  and squares for the spinach, arugula, radish that were harvested. The final square was a replacement for failed oregano.

May Day!!

May 4, 2015 By lpilewski

We celebrated May Day on Friday with glorious spring weather. The garden is coming along very well at this point. So now it is time to add supports for the peppers and eggplants and get the tomatoes trimmed up. I also weeded the beds a few times this week, which took about 10 minutes total! Once again, we had a lot of rain this week, so only a few cups of water were needed on Saturday.

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!
