Oh Harvest Day

Today was a great harvest day! The plan was to harvest 10 bulbs, but once the digging began, I couldn't stop until reaching 26 bulbs.

Yellow Can Bring a Good Thing

The garlic's looking like it's ready to harvest. A few are starting to lean over and the majority of them are starting to experience a bit of yellowing of two of their lower leaves.

There's your gardening clues of the day--happy gardening!

Decision made

Was in the store the other day with my daughter, Kennedy, and we were going to buy a couple of bags of soil. But we decided against it, and will use a large bin of compost that isn't completely composted(89%), yet, but will still get the job done.

Quote of the Week

Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes.

The Storm

Saturday morning storms rolled through my area, and the days after I wondered if any plants were lost in the storm.

Friday my 7 year old nephew dug holes for me, while I planted 11 tomato seedlings into the earth. I really wanted to get the other 27 plants planted, but felt after the weekend rain would be a better time to plant, however, I didn't expect heavy storms. I knew it was going to rain, but wasn't expecting severe weather, so I didn't move smaller potted plants indoors or under shelter.

Earlier in the month, the complete opposite happened---I removed all small plants before the "storm" and, lol--"the storm" was a day of scattered light showers. My baby plants could have would stood that.

With my fingers crossed and my mind on good thoughts, I must survey the damage.
