So we told you already that the white oleander "tree" is here already. I'm still wondering whether one would actually classify it as a tree yet? So maybe you can give me your opinions. I have to go with seedling at best.I have to say I'm still a bit disappointed by...
More seeds on the way
I think after this group of seeds we will have the majority of what we'll be growing this year. We still want to get some okra seeds but those are a bit hard to come by so we may have to get them from the US somehow. But Exoga did have sweet potato plants which are...
The seedling update is long overdue
My last post about the seeds was April 11th. Not good, I know. We've made a MASSIVE amount of progress since then, I am very happy to report. We did have a few casualties from Hurricane Ayla and I think we may not have see the last of her, but hopefully the plants...
Throwing away more junk
We really wanted to work on the greenhouse some more today but it's Sunday and we're supposed to be fairly quiet. So we decided to work on finally filling up the trash container sitting in the courtyard so it can be hauled off (it's been here close to a month now I...
Have they arrived?
While we were in the living room this evening, I thought I heard the buzzer for the front door. When I looked out the front window I noticed the lights were on at the door, a nice feature the PO installed so you have a longer chance to notice someone just rang your...
Today was a big day
This morning our goal was to progress as far as possible today on the greenhouse construction. The slab turned out very well and it doesn't seem like we're going to have any problems there so we went to Hornbach (our version of Home Depot) this morning to buy the wood...

Our ideal garden – Vegetables
There are many, many things we want to grow and have thought about growing in our garden...so we figured we'd start of list of everything we have and want to have, making notes about where it can be grown, if we'll need to have space for it in the greenhouse and other...
Make your own hypertufa garden planters & dividers
When my mom was here over Christmas, she was telling me that she had found a recipe online to make her own planters. I was immediately intrigued since terracotta is pretty pricey and there is still the fear of it cracking, not to mention how heavy it is...and the...
Where’s our tree at?
A little over a month ago, we posted that we ordered an oleander tree to put in one of the planters at the front of the house. Unfortunately, the tree is not here yet and we were starting to wonder if one of the neighbors received it and didn't want to give it up or...
