  • Garden Update

    February 10, 2017 /

    Over the past few weeks I have worked old garden beds, erected domes for sugar snap peas and relocated hoards of rudbekia volunteers to other areas of the yard. I took a trip out to Home Depot and picked up several bags of organic garden soil that were on clearance, a big block of peat moss and a jug of fish emulsion for the garlic and onions. With the soil now rich and fluffy, limed and smoothed over, it is…

  • Update on the Garden

    January 27, 2017 /

    January in Raleigh is so strange. We’ve had icy snow, and we’ve had 70 degree days. I’d like to think it’s good for the soul to have days in the middle of winter where you can work outside in short sleeves. The only drawback is that it’s temping to plant too early. Our average last frost is April 4 or April 11, depending on which source you look at, so we are still a good 10 weeks of being able…

    Well the 2017 January garden isn’t much to look at! Thanks to Amazon Prime (and several Pantry orders), we ended up with piles of cardboard over Christmas. I’m so exhausted by the weeds, that I decided it was finally time to give sheet composting… aka lasagna gardening… a go. That’s a fancy way of saying I broke down the boxes and spread them over the empty beds. I wish I were better at having a winter plan. Because I chucked…

  • Zone 7b – 8a February Planting

    February 19, 2013 /

    Spring is on the way, and I’m seeing signs of it outside in the garden and in stores, where seed stock is in. You can start the following indoors: kale, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, lettuce, sage, spinach, swiss chard, tomatoes, watermelon, thyme, mint, chives, oregano, artichokes, onions, celery, leeks, and peppers. The following can be planted in the ground now: asparagus, cabbage, onion sets or plants, peas, radishes, rutabagas and turnips.  We got snow this past weekend, but…
