I've been in a cleaning frenzy today. We're trying out a new system here where I use Monday as my "get the house back in order after the bomb went off weekend is over." We're usually so busy focusing on getting big projects done that the house is in disarray and there...
Searching for… what led you here. But how fat was he?
It's always fascinating to sit down and have a look at Google Analytics. You can have a really good laugh as you sit and wonder how in the world some of these keywords led to this blog. What is even more incredible is that some of the searchers stay here for a while...
Still growing strong – 2009 Seedling Journal Vol. 3
This update is LONG overdue, but what can I say. The plants are doing really well. I separated and replanted some of the bigger plants today into bigger pots; White Runner beans, Rouge pumpkins and spaghetti squash. Next time we start those seeds will make sure to...
Now our storage buildings look sad and exposed
The weather forecast was really sketchy this weekend so we didn't get everything we wanted done...but we did make some progress. We did a little running around Saturday morning, trying to get a few things to finish up projects. That became harder than expected when we...
Those raised beds are fit to grow in
I've been a bit lethargic about posting the last few days. The words just weren't forming any sort of decent sentences is my brain. Everything seemed boring. It didn't help that I've been running around here like a maniac the past few days, trying to cram as much into...
I have to say it was a good day
I'm not sure where the sun disappeared to today. The forecast was calling for a nice spring day with temps in the low 60's (15°C.) It was about 50 and overcast instead, but at least there was no rain. We got the day started with a trip to Hagebau, the little home...
No more folds for a while – 2009 Seedling Journal Vol. 2
We planted more seeds yesterday. I folded about 30 pots in a couple hours. Does it seem excessive yet? We're wondering ourselves. But we actually have a lot more planting to do. Most of the seeds left will be planted directly in the ground, though, (carrots, more...
No greenhouse love for you
When we woke up this morning, we thought we had our weekend all planned out. Get up, feed Mack, walk the dog, down some Burger King (I know, the healthy choice, right?), drop off the dead computer at the PC repair place, and finally visit Hornbach to buy the twin wall...
Recycling a little junk mail – making origami newspaper pots
After posting new photos of the seedlings, some were asking about the newspaper pots I use. They are completely free (aside from the soil we buy to fill them with although one could use their own soil and compost) because I use papers that come to our house every week...
Kicking some raised bed butt
After our interesting start to the morning, Stefan decided to seize the sun-filled day and turn a few beds in the garden. The ground was still a bit frozen which made it a really tough task, but he managed to get two full raised beds turned. I was able to join him...
