It seems that I am always behind when it comes to gardening. Sometimes it is beyond my control but not always. This year it will be different please please please I will be starting my eggplant this week, the peppers two weeks from now and the tomatoes and broccoli three weeks from now. When I transplant will depend on how well the seedlings are doing. The plants will be set out during the first two weeks of May depending on the weather forcast. In the meantime I will be hoping for a great gardening year. Sch…, sch…did anybody hear mother nature make her vows???????

- Weekly Garden Update: May 22, 2013 May 22, 2013I wasn't sure what the week would bring. I had a rather large design project with a new client scheduled to begin on Monday. To prepare, I finished up other smaller projects over the weekend, organized my computer files, and backed up my hard drive to a second drive. Monday arrived and the project was delayed. Some unexpected tasks came in and filled th […]GrafixMuse

- Apr 4, Dragonflies as Garden Predators April 4, 2013Dragonflies, Nature's Most Efficient Predators© Photo from the New York Times There was a great article on dragonflies as predators in the New York Times yesterday: http://nyti.ms/102UL2k . They're probably the most efficient predators in the animal kingdom, capturing up to 95% of the prey they pursue. If you live near water, you'll find them […]
How My Garden Grows
- Just Eat It. May 7, 2013It turns out the flowers on bolted greens are quite delicious. My dog seems to know this already.I took an herb class last night, and tried all sorts of tasty things that often get overlooked in the garden. Mizuna blossoms were my favorite, and I tried some kale flowers just now (above). Do you have anything going to seed out in your garden? Pinch off so […]Kelly

- Kitchen Scraps & Raccoons April 6, 2013Anyone who has tried sheet composting knows that it increases worm population greatly.This spring I was digging and preparing the garden beds. In one bed that had fava beans growing in it over the winter, I counted about 2 worms per shovelful. In another bed I threw kitchen scraps on it over the winter (California winter, no snow). This bed had about 12 wo […]noreply@blogger.com (GardenSeek)

- Quick Update May 3, 2013This evening I wrapped up a bunch of planting. It appears we are in the clear now weather wise. Seems to have been a long time coming this year hasn't it? I started by putting in the peas I started at the end of March. They were planted it peat pots so I made sure to plant the pot below ground. They have a tendency to dry out quickly if any of the pot […]Dan
I just set up my plant shelves and lights yesterday. It looks like my schedule is just about the same as yours. Most seeds will be started March 10-15. I wish it would warm up enough to begin laying out and amending my garden beds, but we get teased with sunshine and 50F one day, then back into the 40s the next. I’m too old to put up with working out in the cold!
Hi Granny, I’ll be soliciting help from the kids and grandkids to get my beds ready. I have a lot of garlic in olive oil for wages. I’m with you about the weather.
