Garden for Dollars, Grow Asparagus
One of my favorite things about gardening is that you’re making free food. Well, not exactly free is it? Anymore than anything is free. You spend the time, you buy the gardening supplies, fertilizer, etc. Many people probably do garden at a loss, I’m sure I do, but I enjoy it, so there is that. […]
Oops, What Happened?
You’re trying to access a page that no longer exists. You were probably sent here by an impolite linker. Sorry. Better luck next time. Also, you should plant a tree, imagine if everyone in the world planted an apple tree? I highly recommend it. But hey, if you’re looking for great gardening content, you’ve found […]

Turning a Garden Bed Down for Winter
I’ve been a bad blogger. I’ve been procrastinating. At least a month ago, probably more like 6 weeks, I took some photos to build a blog post around, and then fall happened, and as well business stuff happened where a lot of my time was consumed, and the holidays happened, and well, this advice I’m […]
Opossum on the Porch, Compost Eating Critter
No picture with this post, this is probably the first post I’ve done ever without a picture, for some reason I didn’t think about it last night. So, last night I made some skillet apples, and as I do normally I got out a brown paper bag to put all the scraps into for taking […]
Endless Summer Hydrangea Diary

I love the big bright blue, pink, and purple flowers of big mophead hydrangeas, they really brighten up shady spots, they’re some of my favorites. […]
Butternut Squash & Squirrels
So, I increased the amount of space devoted to edibles this year in order to save money. Involved in this was picking new spots that are NOT garden beds to plant things to see if they’ll grow. I planted some squash on the south side of my house near my raised beds (but not within […]
Fall is for planting….. Fruit
Fall is for planting they say, you’ll see it all over when you go to the nursery or look at mail order catalogs, and why? Well, despite anecdotes about Spring showers, Fall actually has more rainfall AND the ground is also warm. Which all told makes it a good time to plant something, especially trees […]
Pear Tree Down
So, a couple weeks ago (I’ve been so busy it has taken me this long to blog about it) I woke up to a sight… my pear tree was missing it’s trunk. Planted in 2003 this tree was getting fairly large, and bore a good deal of fruit this year. It was around 7 feet […]
One Massive Sunflower
On a whim I saw this packet of seeds at the store for “Massive” sunflowers and bought them. I put them in various spots in my landscape, here and there, and boy, are they massive. The leaves are absolutely huge, the stalk is atleast 3 inches in diameter, and the flowers are massive as well. […]
