Spring Sprouts

March 13, 2016 By lpilewski

Spring-like weather is helping the sprouts spring up! Arugula, mustards, radishes, spinach all coming up in nice, neat rows. Have to love that square foot garden planning!

It’s been two weeks since planting the spring greens and almost everything is growing….

March 2, 2016 By lpilewski

Spring is in the midst of springing, so time to plant the winter greens! Doesn’t this look pretty?

Snow Day!

January 22, 2016 By lpilewski

First snow of the season today. The garden is buried, with only the rosemary still visible. I’d guess this is in the 3″-4″ range.  2016-01-22 09.53.55

It’s beginning to (not) look like winter

December 14, 2015 By lpilewski

So, it was 70 degrees yesterday and is the same today and tomorrow, with evening lows only in the 60s. It surely doesn’t seem like it is 10 days to Christmas! So, in the spirit of experimentation, and since I have a whole lot of open squares in the garden, I’m trying some winter gardening. (Thanks to FoxCarolina for the forecast image!)

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!
