Jimmy Watering the Garden
Almost everything has been planted now. I just have green beans and cucumbers left to direct-seed. Also, I’m trying a little chin beard, but I’m undecided on it. I think I’m going to let it get a bit longer and see how it looks then.

Beets and Carrots growing well…so far
The carrots (up top) are a bit patchy and sparse, but the beets are the best I’ve ever had, by far. Up until now I have tried beets all 4 years. One year I had them looking ALMOST this good, but they didn’t form roots for me. The other 3 times they didn’t even get [...]

The bed shown here got worked on last weekend. I dug it over as deep as I could with my garden spade, then moved the dirt aside and tried to get most of it dug twice as deep as that. I was helped along in my cultivation by the tree and bush roots I had [...]

Spring Garden Planning – on Paper

2009 Tentative Garden Layout
8 ft x 6 ft beds. The lettuce at the top will be planted on/in 20 inch high bales of straw, thanks to a few awesome bloggers who taught me this trick in their posts. I’m going to do a broccoli experiment this spring. I’ll plant two whole beds of broccoli, one with a closer [...]

Dirty Bifurcating Carrots!
One group of 3 carrots that I pulled up today was caught bifurcating in a rather dirty looking way: P.S. For those keeping score, no, I don’t have my Canon Powershot S1 back yet…but I did get back the ZR-90 video camera and learn how to take crappy small photos onto it’s memory card. The [...]

Garden flood today
Today while I was at work it rained a lot. Actually quite a lot. The creek overflowed its 4 foot banks and rose up 25 feet inside my fence (probably an additional 2 feet in water height). Everything loose in the bottom half of the yard was washed over to the west side of the [...]
