We have found that taking a cutting from a tomato plant is quite simple and it roots really easily. But we'd like to do other plants as well and sometimes a rooting hormone would be useful. No need to worry about buying some expensive chemicals or organic something...
We’ve got worms!
No, no problems or complaints in this post. We're not upset that we have worms but rather pleased instead. We recently started our very own worm farm after finding ourselves plagued with an endless supply of fruit flies in our kitchen who just loved munching down on...
An update on what’s growing
On Saturday morning, I passed by the thyme plant growing in my herb container garden and saw this! ICK!!!! I don't know where they came from or how they got to be over an inch so quickly but these little suckers were munching down on my thyme plant. I quickly picked...
What we’re growing right now…
If you read this blog often, you know that we tend to grow some things that some might consider strange. Even for us they can be a bit abnormal, but as we try to become more self-sufficient and look towards a future where food costs just continue to rise, we find...
Another hour in the garden…
Just spent another bit of time pulling weeds, trimming trees and just trying to get a grip on things in the garden. Overwhelming is certainly one way of describing it! I took some more photos but I barely notice the progress myself...well, actually, I can see the...

I almost can’t bear to look…
All right...the time has finally come. I am posting pictures of the garden regardless of how painful or embarrassing it might be. Who knows...maybe it will motivate me to get something going back there.The garden does not look good. It's massively overgrown now and...
Our seedlings are indeed seedlings!
As usual I'm a bit overdue to write about what is happening with our little seedlings - but what can you do? I did take some photos of them on March 18th which was about a month after they'd been planted. As you may notice, the zucchini were sprouting like weeds and...
That time of the year again
The gardening fever is striking us again (thankfully since we have a nice big space to utilize back there) and we've just starting a ton of seeds....of course we are only writing about it on our self-sufficient / garden blog, Self-Reliant Yuppies, so if you want to...
What we got from Burpee
So I've mentioned that we got seeds from Burpee a few times now...and you may be wondering what we ordered...so here goes - it's a LONG list, I know. But the seeds there cost a fraction of the price here, especially for chili seeds so even with shipping them over...
