One of my favorite hydro veggies to grow!

I’ve bought spinach starts in the past and had a great time harvesting spinach all season - just a few leaves off the bunch each time and more would always grow....

Loving my jungle! I built this bed enclosure last year late in the summer so this is my first real season.

I had a great year for Romaine lettuce. After learning how nutritious it is, I started a bunch of seeds and they did really well. We had more than we could eat, and after a camping trip I came home to find they’d bolted (see picture). I recommend trying this plant if you have any interest. They are reportedly water intensive...

I wanted some color in this part of the yard and I’ve always loved lanatanas. I remember being fascinated by their many geometric shapes even as a kid. But I lost a whole row of them the first time I planted. What little frost we get here, maybe 2 or 3 nights a year, was enough to kill them. I tried again the following year...

I built this trellis and planted two varieties of honeysuckle in front of it, maybe 7 years ago, thinking they would mingle and mix. One of them, a Japanese variety, took off, and the other barely grew: after 3 years it had scarcely grown from the potted size I bought it at. Then I began pruning it. This seemed counter...

Whats not to love about peas? Theyre delicious. They keep well. Easy to grow. Can be planted early. Can freeze 'em....

I just love how bright and vibrant the flowers are on zucchini.

I’m very new with roses and I received my first rose bush 3 weeks ago. Repotted it the same day. Can’t believe I already have a bud. I’m really looking forward to see what is to come. 🌹

Rash Treatment and prevention...

Already harvested the mizuna multiple times and just can’t keep up!...

Bronze Arrow is the variety. These seem remarkably pest resistant!
