We returned from our week long vacation and to my surprise, most of my plants looked pretty good. There was enough rain that most everything did well in my absence. My tomatoes are turning red and they are so delicious. We had blt’s for dinner last night. Yum. That is the taste of summertime. Which reminds me that [...]
The company garden is doing very well. Ginger picked our first cucumber today as well as the first cherry tomato. Delicious just as we had hoped. Everyone has been able to help themselves to salad for lunches and now there will be cucumbers and cherry tomatoes [...]
is doing well. We have had a lot of humidity and rain so the plants are happy. It was time to put up the tomato supports today since the tomatoes are beginning to grow. I noticed a couple of tiny cucumbers showed their pretty faces too. The giant pumpkins are growing nicely as [...]
My plants took a bit of a beating from hail last week but otherwise things are shaping up. It seems like all my flowers have bloomed at once. It’s such a welcome sight. But…. they are saying frost warnings for tonight. Wow. Isn’t it June? Hard to believe it was in the nineties last week and [...]

It is coming along nicely. Our little seedlings are growing like weeds. I think the plastic that [...]
The seeds are here, the trays are prepared with the seed starting soil, the shelves are built, and our company garden is officially started. Pete and Carol (owners of Gearcor) built our light shelves on Sunday so when we gathered on Tuesday to plant the seeds they would have a great spot to grow. A bit [...]
