Gardens do what gardens do
...and so gardeners do what they must in order to garden.
Ancient years ago - at least 15 of them - my friend M helped me put in the first three raised beds in my side yard. At that time no one was selling garden bed kits (or if they were, I didn't know about them and they were probably very expensive), so fisherbear built some frames. Some really ( Read more... ) -
And then there were three (again)
We lost B-cat, L-cat's brother, late last fall to cancer. L-cat had never been an only cat, and while she did not react quite as badly as M-cat did, she made it plain that she wasn't really happy being a solo cat.
So this happened.

Autumn is definitely here
We're finally getting some rain after a ridiculously dry summer. So far the temperatures have stayed relatively mild, which means I am still harvesting cucumbers and tomatillos from the garden. The winter broccoli is coming along nicely; with any luck we'll be able to harvest broccoli all winter long like we did last year. -
Grey day, grey mood
It's been a fairly rough...uh... *waves hands incoherently* Well, several months at least ( Read more... ) -
Winding down the garden for the year
It's getting to be time to start closing down the vegetable beds for the winter, although the weather continues to be unusually mild. Some things, like the broccoli, are still going strong and I'll leave going as long as possible. Others, like the beans and peas, are done and the beds need to be amended and covered over for the winter.
Anyone's ( Read more... ) -

I posted an (admittedly large) post over on DW today. It's supposed to cross-post here, but it hasn't appeared yet. If you don't want to wait, you can go here to view it: https://jaunthie.dreamwidth.org/331657.html -
So yeah, garden
If you follow this journal at all, you know I garden. Let's take a virtual tour for our 2020 social distancing pleasure, shall we?
Warning: lots of pictures. Not very interesting if you're not a gardener.

Not Dead
...just absentminded. I posted for the first time in quite a while a few days ago, but I did it over on LJ, not DW. I'll try not to make that mistake again. -
It's the waning days of 2019...
...and I spent a large portion of the day in the garden. Yes, in the dead of winter here, but the weather was dry enough and mild enough today that I could get to some of the long-delayed garden cleanup I really needed to do. I could also finally finish planting the remaining daffodil bulbs, which I've been trying to get to since early November ( Read more... )
