Not me, that’s for sure. I’m known, in some circles, as somewhat of a hydrangea expert. This fallacy has propagated itself based solely on my ability to grow big-ass Annabelle Hydrangeas. For anyone who knows anything about gardening, or hydrangeas specifically, it’s pretty funny. To my knowledge, it requires nothing more than buying the [...] Seriously. Think twice about this one before planting. I think it might have been just last year that I actually said something along the lines of, “I don’t know why I keep reading that horseradish is so invasive. I don’t seem to have a problem with it…” Ha. Ha. HA! (to quote myself from [...] And Mine Ain’t Pretty. Not my garden or my soul. And somehow, I find that fitting. I’m not saying that I am OK with the state of affairs, mind you. Just that it is fitting. In my mind, summer should be a hazy, lazy bucolic event. Where I herd the kids off to [...] I feel like a loser. July 23rd and my first tomato of the season. Maybe that’s not so bad. I think I was waiting into August one year… But who really knows for sure. I’d share my “garden journal” with you, but I’m too lazy to scan it. Suffice to say, it is hardly [...] Remember my Garlic, up and growing about a month early this year? This picture was taken on 5/13, almost a month ahead of ‘normal’ — if there is such a thing in Minnesota: It didn’t seem to matter how ahead it was, I harvested it during the same week I harvested it last [...] I don’t know how I’ll ever use them all, but roughly calculating along the lines of grocery store prices, I could probably sell them and pay for my daughter’s college. Or better yet, something fun for my office. Seriously. Why are shallots so damn expensive? They are an onion, for Pete’s sake! Anyway, it [...] Take it from one who knows. Due to a serious lack of character, I never got around to planting my squash, melons and pumpkins in their dedicated patch. You may remember part of the reason why from the pictures I posted when writing about Strawberries back on June 4th. For your convenience, here is [...] I keep notes, I write this stupid blog. And still, I make the same mistakes over and over. What, pray tell, was I thinking in March when I created this mess? Actually, I know what I was thinking when I planted shelling peas two rows wide followed by sugar snap peas weeks later, [...] Or Deadhead Your Kids. Just pick one and commit. Kids are out of school. At our house that means that I attempt to include them in the household chores. Now, I could go on and on about the various angles I have taken over the years on this subject. But I can tell you [...] Step-By-Step Instructions You can read all about Wall-O-Water mini greenhouses, early tomato varieties, special fertilization methods and countless other ways to get the jump on your garden tomato season and try to implement them with varying degrees of success depending on the weather and rainfall in your area. Or, you can follow my easy, [...] |
