The garden is pretty much finished here. I still have some flowers but they are looking tired and the hard frost that is expected tonight will most likely finish up my gardening season for this year. The good news is that autumn does bring some color back into the garden at least for a little [...]
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 [...]
The last couple of days have been so humid and hot. We were at 96 degrees yesterday. I think it may have been that warm today as well. Hard to believe we had a frost warning a week ago which was preceded by temps in the nineties a week before that. My plants seem to be happy though, [...]
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 [...]
The Gearcor Company Garden is still in the planning stages since the weather will not cooperate at all. We have gone from really cold weather to very warm with so much rain you couldn’t think of building raised beds out there just yet. But soon we will.

What a difference a day makes in springtime. We actually had a pleasant 50 degree day today with sunshine and everything. There were so many of my old friends peeking their heads out to enjoy the lovely warmth. Hopefully there will be even more soon. ~”Science has never drummed up quite as effective a tranquilizing [...]
March finds me with very little to show in my garden, or so I thought. March came in like a lion~we just had 20 inches of snow a week ago and since then nothing but more snow and then rain which is causing high rivers and flooding. But today as I ventured out for a [...]
Eventhough it was very cold out I went outside to see where we want to put our company garden in at Gearcor. The snow was deep but in my mind I could see flowers and vegetables growing , while butterflies and bees swoop in and out pollinating to their heart’s content. You see it don’t you? [...]
Another February day and unless you count snow, there isn’t a whole lot going on outside in my garden, but there are a few delights inside. My plants indoors are enjoying the abundant sunshine the past couple of days. Miraculously I have not killed my pointsettia yet and it’s almost Valentine’s Day. I am usually [...]
