How Does My Garden Grow?: July 2012

http://berikajean.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 21, 2012. So, as my mother pointed out. It is possible my zukes are not being pollinated. This is very likely as I do not seem to have much bug traffic at all on my patio. I've only seen a bee once. Because my zucchini seem to bloom while I'm at work and the blooms are done when I come home, I haven't really noticed which are male and which are female. I went out this morning to investigate and do a little pollinating, but it seems I only have males? Links to this post. Links to this post.

Wednesday, May 16, 2012. I know I haven't blogged for a while and I was going to share some photos until I came across this post by Mr. Brown Thumb of Chicago who I follow. Click Here! It is a wonderful story about a guy named Kevin living in nursing home in Louisiana and his desire to grow the biggest tomatoes he possibly can. Mr. Brown Thumb has called together the internet gardening community to "tomato bomb" Kevin. read to see why and how! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

How Does My Garden Grow?: April 2012

http://berikajean.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 26, 2012. Last Saturday I went to the Farmers Market. It was a beautiful, sunny, warm day! I bought some quince jelly, salad mix, and flowers. I have yet to try the jelly, I'm waiting to get some English muffins. I was actually going to buy creamed honey, but someone else at the stand picked up the one I was eyeing. My friend, JM, bought the honey and said it was great. so. creamed honey, we will meet again. I don't usually go for oranges and reds, but a bunch from Bare Mountain Farm.

How Does My Garden Grow?: Full Swing

http://berikajean.blogspot.com/2013/07/full-swing.html

Monday, July 22, 2013. Been a long time since we rocked and rolled and the blog! I've had what I would call a large cucumber infestation. They took out my peas then moved on to my beans. Ugh! I think I'm having a bad case of not enough variation of female and make flowers on my yellow squash again. I was plagued by that last year too. My pumpkins are doing great though.

How Does My Garden Grow?: March 2012

http://berikajean.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 24, 2012. Spring might finally be on its way. After two days of snow that followed days and days of rains, I got out to examine my plants and move some away from the house to catch some rays. I moved my blueberry out and mulched it with pine needles for the acid. I'm excited for my hydrangea:. And for my mother:. Links to this post. Wednesday, March 21, 2012. All day. Snow. What is happening? Hoping the weather holds up for my mother and her beautiful flowers on the coast! Over the Christ...

How Does My Garden Grow?: November 2012

http://berikajean.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 9, 2012. Growing in the cold. Despite the temperature dropping and the clouds blocking the sun a we transition in to winter, my nasturtiums are growing. The nasturtiums I planted in late July/early August, mind you. I don't know why they decided to break ground, but it's nice to see their little leaves reaching towards the sky. (:.

How Does My Garden Grow?: February 2013

http://berikajean.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 20, 2013. A little off topic. But I still had to share. (: I just updated my desktop background on my work computer to this beautiful arrangement from Saipua. And for some flowery music, I have set Pandora to my Luigi Boccherini. Station. It was a touch frosty this morning but I know spring is coming! I can't wait to see my bulbs! Links to this post. Sunday, February 10, 2013. A dead pepper plant. A tag for a Brandywine tomato plant. Two plants that I believe to be kale. As for weedin...

How Does My Garden Grow?: May 2013

http://berikajean.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 31, 2013. More tomatoes courtesy of my grandma! Thinking of replacing my watermelon plot with some peanuts. My mom brought me a packet of large peanut seeds with plaster. I had never really paid that much attention to peanut plants, but they seem like an interesting plant. However, they take 130-150 days and need very warm temperarures so I will only plant half the packet. But that should yield about 250 peanuts! Links to this post. Tuesday, May 28, 2013. If you can really call it that. (:.
