It’s been a pretty busy gardening week this week. Mainly getting some of the seedlings moved into larger containers and just trying to keep up with the watering and weeding. Two more sets of plants finally germinated; Balloon Flower and Lovage. The Lovage was planted back on May 25th and just sprouted yesterday (June 17’th) – so nearly a month for that one. Two other flats are apparently “duds.” Which may just be due to the age of the seed – Mexican bush Marigolds and Formosa Lily. The soil may be the … Continue reading

I’ve been very busy trying to get my stuff growing and also helping out with getting other projects taken care of around the “homestead.” Yesterday I finished setting up an irrigation system out in the orchard.

I’ve got a bunch of dishes to wash as it is, so I may as well do those and pack them up. It’d be much easier if … Continue reading
I’ve always dreamed of having a gardening simulator on my PC. Well, ok… not always, but ever since I seriously got into gardening when I bought my first house back in 2000. I mean the data is already out there, in spades – but no one seems to have come up with a decent algorithm for this. There might not be a huge demand, but I do know that the many gardeners I’ve met over the years are quite passionate about their hobby and would love a tool like this … Continue reading
