The tomatoes took their time coming in this year, but it was worth the wait. Starting three weeks ago we have been in hog heaven with some of the best tomatoes we have grown yet. I decided to take a walk in the garden and pick what was ripe this morning, after filling up my [...]

We really have not seen that much of the sun over the past couple of weeks. June gloom has turned into June/July Gloom. Eli and the plants do not seem to mind as they continue to grow, sunshine or not. The Zucchini’s that we have been harvesting this year have been ridiculous. They just seam to get bigger and [...] Two years ago our garden was attacked by a powdery mildew that took over our pumpkins and spread to the rest of our plants. You might remember this from our post back from September 08, Garden Chronicles: Chapter 8 Garden Warfare. Photos taken from Fall Garden 08 Last year I decided to water the garden from [...] Lyndsey and I have slowly been putting together our new aquaponics garden system. Aquaponics is is the symbiotic cultivation of plants and aquatic animals in a recirculating environment. Fish waste from the pond/tank accumulates in water as a by-product of keeping them in a closed system. The dirty water becomes high in plant nutrients [...] Last Saturday we decided to get out of the house for a little so Lyndsey got on Craig’s List and found a lady that sales water plants out her yard in Imperial Beach. We didn’t quite know what to expect when we got there, but upon our arrival we were pleasantly surprised. Lisa, the owner of [...] Last weekend we started planting our seeds for our spring garden. We decided to go with seeds this year so we could have a better selection of vegetables to grow. Lyndsey prepared the “starting soil” with a mixture of soil, a little compost and some humus. Our artichoke plant has already started budding new artichokes, so [...] Eli’s Grandma / Lyndsey Mom came into town last Sunday to visit and help out with Eli for a week. It has been nice having her around. We almost got to go on another date, but Eli had his mind set on something different. We have had a nice time visiting with her and getting [...] I was checking out some stuff online the other day as I was preparing our next garden plot and ran across a program that a developer designed for planning out your next vegetable garden. I thought that it was pretty funny. I have actually sketched out my ideas on a notepad so the thought [...] Well we almost lost a chicken yesterday late afternoon at dusk. We had our friend Josh over and him and I were both reading books in our living room while Lyndsey toyed around with some chores in the back room. All of the sudden we all heard the loudest screech and cry we have heard [...] I noticed the past few days that are chickens didn’t have but one egg in their nesting boxes. I though that perhaps they were just taking a break, but after three days I started to get a little suspicious. When they first started laying eggs about 6 months ago, they would randomly lay eggs [...] |
