I wasn't expecting to do another post today - and certainly not another garden post - but I just had to! I've had two awesome things happen since my last post. One is that I got an email confirming our back ordered seeds from Veseys has just been shipped! It's only two packets of seeds; … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: one last surprise!

Our 2021 garden: Baker Creek order arrived!
I made it to the post office while running errands today, and had a small package waiting. I just sort of assumed it was for my daughters or my husband, but nope! It turned out to be my last minute order from Baker Creek. I am totally shocked that it arrived already! When I placed … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: Baker Creek order arrived!

Our 2021 garden: damage control
I'm about ready to start throwing cats outside! 😦 This is what I discovered, this morning. The long piece of insulation across the top is what had been blocking the opening on the back of the tank lid. You can even see the claw marks in it! Some nasty little beast managed to pull one … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: damage control

Moving forward on all sorts of things!
Today was a day of moving forward on a few things, and even accomplishing some! 😀 First, the most important thing. Potato Beetle status. No, this is not Potato Beetle. Nostrildamus was posing so sweetly for me, I just had to take a photo. Also, his eyes are quite clear. He's just got them comfortably … Continue reading Moving forward on all sorts of things!

Our 2021 garden: not quite cat proof
Aren't they adorable? Don't they look so sweet and innocent, snuggled together? Don't believe them. They lie! They are devious, destructive beasts! 😀 Okay, okay. I don't think Cabbages and her "grandma" are the guilty parties responsible for this. The tank's lid has an opening at the back for the filter, cords, etc. I'd blocked … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: not quite cat proof

Our 2021 garden: making grow bags
One thing about our internet being a problem is that we're really learning what browsers and websites are data hogs of one type or another. Chrome is better than Firefox, and WordPress is just awful. Not just the editor, but simply trying to view other WordPress blogs. I don't know what they're trying to do … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: making grow bags

Just a bit earlier, today
With how bitterly cold it has been for the past while, I have been doing my morning rounds much later in the morning. It may only have been a couple of degrees warmer, but I was taking anything I could get! Usually, by the time I came out, the outside cats were hovering around the … Continue reading Just a bit earlier, today

Our 2021 garden: Layout
Okay, so my last post actually uploaded, so here's hoping this one works, too! I mentioned previously that the girls and I have been going over the layout of the grounds we have to work on, trying to figure out where we will be planting things. Today, I worked up a new diagram on the … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: Layout

Oh, I’m so excited!
It's easy to get excited about things today. As I write this, we are at a balmy -18C !! Okay, the wind chill is at -27C, but that's okay. We're at -18C! And our predicted high is -15C! It's feeling like spring out there! For my friends in the US, -18C is 0.4F, -27C is … Continue reading Oh, I’m so excited!

Our 2021 garden: bunching onions started, and sprouts!
Finally! The last of our onion seeds have been planted! These were the bunching onions; a variety called Red Baron, from Veseys. They have red root ends instead of the usual white. Using the dampened blunt end of a bamboo skewer made planting the seeds really easy. I could pick up a single seed at … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: bunching onions started, and sprouts!
