My camera (Nikon D80) is broken. I had a MAJOR meltdown about this afternoon, until my sister came over with her [identical] camera and we figured out the problem is with the lens, not the camera body, and that I should, fingers crossed, still be able to replace it under my extended warranty. [...]

Our garden is growing! So many things are starting to break the surface of the soil. Cara was very proud to give grandma a tour yesterday–and I was very proud that she could tell grandma what each plant was!
Roma tomatos:
Pumpkins:
Cucumbers:
Cherry:
Strawberries, the only thing we didn’t grow from seed:

I spoke too soon about faring best out of all of us in the illness department. Three days ago I lost my voice, and it has yet to come back. Yesterday was the worst day for me so far, so hopefully I’m on the mend! The girls seem to be much better.
Anyhow, [...]

Well, oops. I’ve been a real slacker these last couple of weeks! At least IRT the mighty blog.
My garden, for the most part, is neglected for the winter. My berry plants are at least still alive (I think), but what’s left of the tomatoes, pumpkins, etc. doesn’t amount to much.
The only new [...]

On the subject of pumpkins, here are the first pumpkins I’ve ever grown:
So, I managed to get three out of my little garden this year. One has already been baked and added to one of the seven batches of pumpkin soup I made over the weekend. I had quite a sense of accomplishment [...]
Summer is Coming to an End

So it’s about time for a few more garden pictures.
My pumpkins are turning orange:
I’m only going to end up with three, it looks like. I’m a little disappointed, but I’ve learned a lot about growing pumpkins this year, so I know what to do differently next year. I was a little disheartened to [...]
My Pumpkins! Again!
Posted in Home, tagged Garden, Pumpkins on August 26, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Is it obvious that I’ve never grown pumpkins before, but have ALWAYS wanted to? I have really fond memories of growing vegetables with my family as a child (my dad, in particular). I remember growing tomatoes, artichokes, asparagus, and strawberries, which never made it in the house with yours truly around.
So, here’s yet [...]

Look who I found in my basil today!
I’m not quite sure how he got in there. It sort of amazes me that we have this garden being grown exclusively in containers, and yet this little guy must have travelled quite a distance to get into it. I did relocate him to the front [...]
Garden Progress

My container garden is nearing completion. It has been a long road, since I started with only a big concrete patio, but I’m pretty impressed with how well everything is growing!
My first order of business was building what basically amounts to an enormous sawhorse to hang baskets from. And yes, I built it [...]
