Patio Garden going through some tough times...

My last update was with most of my sprouts being fairly happy for the most part. The peppers weren't budding so I sprayed my plants with Epsom salt and water. Hopefully this will help...

Now comes the sad patio news, over the past week, the squirrels have attacked my plants at the stem.

SUPER SAD PANDA!! (._.)

Look...

Roma Tomato. And he was doing the best too.

Beef Steak. There were 3 going good.

WwhhhHHyyyYYy squirrels?! Aaahhhh! :-(

Well. On a good note, my peppers are starting to bud.

First Bud.

Fortunately, I'm hoping that this Roma will survive. I have to have at least ONE tomato plant... just one...

Thank you Destiny's Child.

Well that's my garden update for today. Praying that more plants will survive.

peace.

Update. finally... Gardening time!!

It's been a long while since I've posted. Softball season has been over and I'm just getting things back in order from the past three months. Now that softball is over, I've moved on to my garden. woot! :o)

Patio Garden 2011

This year I'm trying a bunch of different types of plants and veggies. I've grown most from seed this year. Starting them in small windowsill greenhouses and then moving them out to the patio when they are big and strong enough. :-) Here's some of what I'm growing:
* Tomato: Beefsteak, Roma, Johnny Tomato.
* Pepper: Jalapeno, Bell, Chili - from our neighbors plant from 2009.
* Pumpkin: Jack O'Lantern, Cinderella, mini-jack.
* Berries: Strawberry, blueberry
* Misc: Cucumbers, Sunflowers, Eggplant and a handful of others in random pots - because they weren't growing in the egg cartons (for a long long time) and I just tossed the dirt into pots...and now they are growing... go figure.

If we are still here next year, I might just officially-officially take over the dirt that's beyond our patio and put a raised garden bed. I dunno... we'll see.
That's all for now.

Thanks for listening!

Here comes the sun... Doo dooo do dooo

The rain has come and I'm hoping that the rain is done. I have been waiting patiently to plant my garden. I've been trying to follow the sun patterns on our patio and I think the reason why my plants started to grow faster in May was due to the fact that the sun's positioning was much better than it is now. Right now I'm hardly getting any ample amount of sunlight. :-( sad panda - right??
Call me crazy, but I look at places and get I guess you would call it sun-envy. Sun-envy: envious of homes or places of business that get 4+ hours of direct sunlight each day.

One day I'll have a yard with full sunlight and beautiful soil. ... One day.


Happy gardening,

Another to file under - for when I get a house...

I received an email from Plow and Hearth and the most beautiful cupboard appeared.

It is by Plow & Hearth. It is a Large Conestoga Cupboard. Beautiful. Unfortunately, I don't have $1400 to shell out. So, this picture will have to do.

Ciao.
