December

Our garden is still producing.   Lettuce, spinach, kale and bunching onions.  Thankful for the simple things.

Things are Shaping Up...End of May 2012

May Day 2012...

No dancing around the maypole today, just a few pics from the veggie garden and my backyard...This gardenia standard was left out all winter in its pot without any shelter or covering...I guess we really are now zone 7a.  Amazing isn't it?

Another shot of the view behind my kitchen...My husband built the pergola about 10 years ago...We were in desperate need of some privacy.  Its worked well for us.

Dakota standing guard.  Strawberries, mesclun lettuces, red lettuce, spinach and broccoli in this bed.

Strawberries galore...need to buy nets before they turn red and the birds eat them up.

My Saturday

End of April 2012

Just a few pics looking out of my kitchen window... The clump maple was removed last summer, which was where the lilac is now planted, next to the forsythia. The maple was towering over the house and was just waiting to fall.  Better safe than sorry. Will be adding more herbs and perennials in this area but the biggest project is the vegetable garden in front of the shed.  Corn is planted, lettuces, broccoli, carrots, spinach, strawberries...and I think hubbie actually planted tomato seed directly into the ground...he's adventurous like that.  More pics to come as things start to grow.

My Various Garden Pics Over the Years

Not sure why some are blurry when I increase the size....more to come...

March 30, 2012

Deleted most of my posts on here due to the fact that I just don't have the time to go through all of my photos, inserting where they are supposed to be.  I inadvertently deleted all of my blog pictures while in Google+.  I won't even get into it except to say another social site is not in the cards for this gal.  Onward...

Just a few pics of March here in NJ...This is looking out my kitchen window...That tree in on the right against the fence is now gone...Vegetable garden square footage will be doubled. Hoping we have the funds to enclose it all in a picket fence.

Wonderful book I finished a few weeks ago...Could ... not....put...it...down...

And an awesome pile to be read...well, actually I've gone through a few...Food for Thought...Thought for Food...
