High in Charlottesville today was 72. And they’re calling for 80’s this weekend too. Hooray!
As for this past weekend, we didn’t build the lean-to to catch the rain water with. Kurt and I decided to take a look around and come up with a plan for building it before we delve into getting all the [...]
So I’ve been out of town for most of the week, so things have been a little slow with the gardening. However, there is one thing I can finally brag about – my little seedlings! I can’t believe these guys shot up less than a week after I planted them. Two broccoli, two lettuce, and [...]
Did the title of the post grab your attention? Good.
I headed to the garden yesterday evening to see how dry it was going to be. I had guessed that at least the back row (the least muddy part) could be dried out by now, and I was right. The soil was still just [...]
…for coming out this week and making C’Ville HOT! (Well relatively speaking, that is.) Experiencing temps in the 60’s and 70’s this week, thus the reason why I’m so happy.
Kurt and I went out to the garden yesterday evening to dig. The crazy lake that you saw in previous photos was pretty much dried up, [...]
If you remember from my last post, I was in a muddy pit of despair. But Kurt isn’t letting me give up that easily. He took me out on a nice date Saturday night, which boosted my spirits. And then he told me he was fully supporting me on this project and that he wasn’t [...]
I think the worst possible thing that could have happened to the garden, did. And sadly, it’s making me reconsider this whole project.
As I was eating breakfast with Kurt this morning, he noticed that, after a steady downfall of rain last night, the sky had cleared up a little.
“You could try to go out to [...]
As the rain started to fall today (a rain that will probably last through Sunday), I started to really regret not getting started on the project sooner. I know you can still plant seeds through April and May, but how great would it have been to already have them planted, and then have them soak [...]
So that whole thing about waking up early and starting to till at sunrise? Yeah, didn’t happen.
I should really know myself better by now.
Facebook can be a very powerful tool. With that in mind, I decided to take a stab at making a Facebook Fan Page just for this blog. Dana’s Garden on Facebook – you’ll also see the Fan box to the right of this page.
I intend to post not only blog update links, but [...]
Was very eager to get to the garden tonight. I’m even more eager for Daylight Savings time to begin again. The sun is setting around 6:15 in the evenings, so that doesn’t give me a lot of time to get over to the garden after work. Plus, I had to make a [...]
