Here we are in week 11 of the garden tours, and I am officially calling the pumpkins done for the year. I have been looking at my very sorry pie pumpkin plant for about a week and a half, and seeing all the powdery mildew made me realize that it was in a losing battle. Fortunately, the pumpkins themselves seem to be ripe enough to pick. So I am going to pick them and then figure … [Read more...] about A Garden Tour – Week Eleven

A Garden Tour – Week Nine
Here we are, the first day of August, and week nine of my garden tours this summer. I am really excited about this month because it is when the garden tends to explode with produce (I’m thinking of tomatoes here!). We are at a point in the summer when I am bringing in handfuls of cherry tomatoes and green beans. I have picked a few little pickling cucumbers – which I cut up … [Read more...] about A Garden Tour – Week Nine

I was also able … [Read more...] about A Garden Tour – Week Seven

A Garden Tour – Week Two
I knew it would happen. We were late getting our fence up. We had to buy all new garden fencing this year, and the timing to get it up was not working for me. I thought perhaps that I would have an extra week, but I knew that I had to get the fence up in that first week. Unfortunately, that did not happen. Because the fence did not get up early enough, the … [Read more...] about A Garden Tour – Week Two
