I really haven't had much to report in the garden.  Finally ripped out all but one tomato plant, this year wasn't a very good one for my tomatoes.  I left the tomatoes buckets outside for all of 5 minutes only to find the dogs dumped the dirt all over the patio and then proceeded to destroy the buckets.  ...

I have been such a procrastinator the past two weeks and once again haven't planted my fall seeds yet.  I'm hoping to get to it this weekend.  I did rip out a couple tomato plants so I can reuse the buckets since they don't appear to be doing much of anything.  I also trimmed down the sunflowers (finally) now ...

This week I harvested the last of the cucumbers and a few more tomatoes.  I'm debating what to do with the cucumbers I've already pickled 3 jars so I've got to come up with a different recipe for them! He is another tiny watermelon, so far we've had 6-7 of these little guys throughout the summer ...

This week I don't have much of an update.  With my son's birthday party Saturday and trying to clean everything up (who knew 35 people and a dog could make such a mess!) so I haven't had much time to get out in the garden.  However this weekend I have big plans... lots of fall ...

Check out the monster straight eight cucumber I harvested this weekend!  I swear I should of entered these guys in the fair this year they are huge!! I harvested my second burpee pickler and I cant figure out why they are all turning orange. The Absinthe tomatoes are finally showing some fruit but I am still noticing white powdery ...

Not all that much going on this week... I separated the tomatoes plants... I noticed the healthy tomatoes had something on the leaves... It looks like what the other plants had so I'm not really sure what it is... I harvested an enormous cucumber and a hand full of Jalapenos and I pickled them over the ...

This week's update consists of good,  bad and ugly!!  First lets start with the good!!  My sunflowers are finally beginning to bloom and look great in spite of their rough start with the dog... Although it still amazes me how two sunflowers planted at the same time in the same place could end up like this.  Notice the ...

It seems like its been forever since I've posted a garden update!  During which time I've had some ups and downs... The Brandywine, big boy and jubilee tomatoes are not looking too good.  The plants are nearly dead and almost leafless although they are all producing a few tomatoes.  The Big boys tomatoes are developing a ...

This week I had a lot of exciting things happening in the garden!  Nasturtiums and Tomatoes and Cucumbers Oh My! Lets start with my favorite discovery... Everyone who reads my blog regularlyknows about my tomato woes.  Yellowing leaves, weird spots, dog digging in the pots... the list goes on and on.  So imagine my surprise this weekend ...

I have always lived in small apartments and by small I mean no patio balcony yard or any outdoor space what so ever!  We moved in to our house this pasted December and growing a garden was the last thing I thought I would be doing.  The previous tenant had a small area fenced off ...
