Bug Killer

Category: Village Square | Posted: Tue Jan 12, 2010 4:24 pm

It's freezing cold here in the Carolina's, but no snow on the coast. I'm longing for spring already and the seed orders have gone in. What a treat to recieve those colorful packets in the mail and start mentally planning the gardens. When the sun is out and I see that Carolina blue sky, I'm encouraged that warmth is not far behind. In the meantime, I am learning slowly and often by error, how to use the greenhouse. Most plants are hanging in there with the aid of a small gas heater. I really would hate to lose the Meyer Lemon Tree. So far so good.
These temperatures may cut down on the "bad bug" population.

Unkept Promises

I promised pictures over the summer, but got to the place where I could only spend the necessary time in the garden. It did well in spite of the heat this year. It took a while to diagnose the illness I was experiencing and then after several tests, surgery. Thank goodness, recovery was quick and I've been able to do fall cleanup, moving plants and diggin in bulbs. Roses grew up to the top of the rail on the front deck this year. Yippee!! We're still enjoying the beans and greens from the freezer and plan to grow more next year as they were the best success we had in veggies.
Surprise when the T&M catalog came - could it be time to start planning again? Then followed Stokes, Pine Tree and others. Winter will be fun!

We're thrilled with the "purple green beans". They have such a hearty flavor.

We're sure enjoying the harvest so far. The beets went to pickling, the leeks to stews and salad, the radishes to eating.
