Great Garlic!
In February of 2008 (that’s about 15 months ago!) I decided to plant garlic. Instead of taking the traditional route, where I’d go buy seed, or starter cloves from the garden store, I decided to go to the local co-op, and just buy some organic garlic and break up the cloves myself. Garlic from the [...]

Today, as I was reading the news, I ran across the weather forecast and it said to expect snow. “Snow? Seriously?” was my audible gasp that echoed through the house. But, after a moment to collect myself, I remembered that it is indeed only February, and that there were still 24 days remaining until it [...]

There is something satisfying about harvesting in winter. Like I’ve succeeding in feeding myself year round.
With the abundance of seed catalogs arriving and my desire to get the garden started its nice to still be eating from last years plantings.
I pulled more carrots today, they have a nice sweetness from the winter cold.
These became [...]

The hardest part about planting garlic is picking a place to put in next years garlic, oh and also finding a day that its not pouring down rain and not too cold that you can stand to be outside planting.
Garlic is a bulb and is planted in the fall. These will start to grow [...]
Snack Jacks!
There was an initial fear when planting the snack jack pumpkins that they would take up far to much room and by the sounds of it I would have plenty of little pumpkins to make into soup or pie or ravioli or whatever my little pumpkin heart desired.
I found a spot, I planted several, I [...]
Fall Carrots / Plantings
Today I planted some fall vegetables. All except the carrots are the same spring variety’s I planted earlier this year. I did plant two types of spinach earlier in the year but today I just went for the 45 day variety. Hoping to get it in and up and harvested in this [...]

This is a yummy, yet challenging point of the gardening season. Challenging because I can only eat so much…:)
There is more produce then one can eat alone. Besides even the freshest of beans or in my case yellow squash, there comes a time when you have just eaten so much you can’t comprehend another [...]
The First Harvest…
You all know how much I am in love with tomatoes. In reality, I think of tomatoes as the centerpoint of my garden patch, and everything else as secondary to them. As much as I love the herbs, and flowers and lovely lettuces, they are the all accessories to the tomatoes.
Here in the Pacific [...]
Squash & Salad
The weather has been perfect!!! Not for me, but for the garden. Its been quite rainy and humid but bright, not dark and rainy.
A few days away and look at all the butterstick squash I found last night when I went to pull lettuce for a salad.
Needless to say, I’ll be grilling squash tonight!

Peas and New Potatoes
So the peas are done for the first half of the season. The pea pods now over sized and no longer sweet.
I pulled the plants today, shelling the rest of the peas right in the garden. This just makes it easier to get the shells into the compost.
The peas are still sweet and [...]
