Our Future Gardens?
Category: Village Square | Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2008 5:35 pm Charlie became interested in a new type of gardening when I asked him to make me some soda bottle pots. He researched for hours as usual and came up with self-contained planting boxes. We have Pac Choy, Broccoli, Collards, Lettuce planted. This has been a fun experiment.

Summer memories
Category: Village Square | Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2008 8:01 pm Ever wonder where the term "Dog Days" comes from? The ancients believed that when Sirius, the Dog Star, rose at the same time as the sun, they should sacrifice a brown dog to appease the rage of Sirius, believing that the very bright star was causing the hot, sultry weather. No offence to those with little brown dogs. I was perusing some nice old summer photos named "Summer Grannies" and started to remember the things I used to do on my Grannies' farm, long ago. I loved her spankin white geese that lived in the yard, and helping her feed them. I loved the thick featherbed we slept under. I loved the flowers in her yard and making "dancing ladies by turning the Bleeding hearts inside out. Try it! I loved the walk up the dirt road, past the scary bull to the neighbors' because at the end of that test were home made cookies and milk. I loved sleeping out in the tent with my cousins and getting scared at the night sounds. Oh, the joys of a childhood summer.

Home and Travel
Category: Village Square | Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2008 2:11 am These photos are from my stomping grounds and places nearby. Charlie and I love to visit the rivers and woods that we live by: 
This river empties into the ocean and dolphins migrate here to have their calves. It is so cute to watch a pod, parents and calf swim together.

Garden Magic
Category: Village Square | Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2008 7:42 pm Peek under the leaves of the veggie garden and what do I see? Four muskmelons in stages of growth from Kiwi size to bowling ball size! Summer squash poking out yellow toes under the leaves and purple asparagus pushing up a good size stalk, promising more in the future. The cucumbers we have already tasted crisp and tasty, and healthy green beans are hanging off the bush. The fall garden seeds have already been ordered and will start seeds of beets, spinach, Chinese greens, leeks, garlic cloves and carrots. I'm trying the self-watering pot to start some of them. ....and summer goes on and on. Last edited: Sun Nov 30, 2008 8:38 pm This blog entry has been viewed 103 times

Newcomers
Category: Village Square | Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2008 6:23 pm I have new guests to add to my rose garden. Six new Hemerocallis daylilies. Apricot Sparkles, Dragon's Eye, Chicago Apache, Going Bananas, Daring Deception, Jungle Beauty, oh, and free gift Strawberry Candy. They're soaking their little toes in some diluted plant food right now, but tomorrow, in they go with some nice dry compost and "Rootblast", then a good blanket of bark mulch. The border is filling in well also, with the help of a couple of sky-blue Plumbago and sparkling white Vinca. The tiny Raspberry Sundae Verbena are taking off too. Cosmos and Red Sunflowers started from seed are three feet tall and about to bloom. It's all growing great guns!! Last edited: Thu Jul 03, 2008 6:31 pm This blog entry has been viewed 83 times
