Next Gen House – how a garden grows: raised bed and container prep

How a garden grows: raised bed and container prep. May 11, 2015. How a garden grows. We spent the better part of the day Saturday getting our raised beds and containers prepped for the growing season, which for us starts this week with the arrival of our seedlings. So here’s what the gardens and yard looked like before we started. You can see we were cultivating quite the variety of weeds. So sad that the watering can just gave up and dropped. The zombie chives were somehow undead, and flowered. We get o...

How a garden grows: planting the plants. May 20, 2015. How a garden grows. So last we left the garden, the beds were ready but empty. Last year we started from seed, and had a spectacular fail where we lost everything because we brought them outside too soon. So in 2014 we ended up buying seedlings through Penn’s Corner. Which they get from several area farms and Grow Pittsburgh. Anyhow, here’s the breakdown of the plants we planted. Rosemary – $3.82. Chives (zombie chives from last year) – $0. Trying br...

Onward, upward and inward. October 7, 2015. Sometimes I get the itch to write or to speak out into the void, though. So I am starting a Tiny Letter. You can subscribe by clicking that link. No guarantees about how often I will send one or what it will be about. Probably the same kinds of things I would write about here, but never forced. Something inspired me to write one tonight, which is why I came here to close this door. I have other gardens to tend. Whether you join me at the Tiny Letter. Also going...

Real Life CSA: spring, week 7. May 28, 2015. This week got away from me blog-wise, but the CSA is one constant. And as I write this, there’s ramp chimmichurri waiting to go on venison steaks and collard greens in a stock pot for dinner. Courtesy of the CSA. So let’s get to it! The apple butter might meet the same fate, since we already have one in the pantry. I’m going to consider it CSA outreach. Lettuce is going in the salad rotation, like usual. Always happy for that! Oats will make a good addition to...
