Desert Dame - Rockin' the Garden: It Feels Like Spring!
http://rockinthegarden.blogspot.com/2009/10/it-feels-like-spring.html
Desert Dame - Rockin' the Garden. Thursday, October 1, 2009. It Feels Like Spring! While most of the country is winding down from summer, putting their gardens to rest and settling into a long winter's nap, here in the desert we are just emerging from our heat induced hibernation. Flowers are blooming, veggies have gone back into production and it's possible to spend more than 5 minutes in the garden without bursting into flames. A mash up of Marigolds, tomatoes and peppers.

Desert Dame - Rockin' the Garden: The First Casualties of the Season
http://rockinthegarden.blogspot.com/2009/06/first-casualties-of-season.html
Desert Dame - Rockin' the Garden. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. The First Casualties of the Season. A few downpours last week led to some of my peppers and tomatoes developing the dreaded blossom end rot. The showers were unexpected so I didn't have a chance to adjust my drip irrigation. June 25, 2009 at 9:33 AM. I shudder to think of BER! Ive had it only once before, quite a few years ago, and I NEVER want it to happen again! Hopefully yours will be short lived, and youll be picking beautiful tomatoes soon.

Desert Dame - Rockin' the Garden. Saturday, July 11, 2009. It's supposed to reach 112 degrees this weekend, which is especially jarring because we have just returned from a lovely vacation in cool and beautiful Utah. I will also post some updated pics of the garden once I have done some tidying and nursing, until then I thought I would share one of my garden harvest dinners and our latest mosaic. Homegrown basil waiting to be transformed into a luscious pesto sauce. July 11, 2009 at 7:58 PM. Granny - I t...

Desert Dame - Rockin' the Garden: I Love the Smell of Decomposing Vegetables in the Morning
http://rockinthegarden.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-love-smell-of-decomposing-vegetables.html
Desert Dame - Rockin' the Garden. Friday, June 19, 2009. I Love the Smell of Decomposing Vegetables in the Morning. I drink a fair bit of fresh vegetable juice and I hate to waste the left over pulp. So what's a gal to do? Compost it of course! A large outdoor composter isn't an option for me for a variety of reasons but I am still able to produce beautiful, sweet smelling black gold with my Naturemill electric indoor compost maker. The juice - it does a body good. The pulp - can you feel the potential?

Desert Dame - Rockin' the Garden: Patience is a (frustrating) virtue!
http://rockinthegarden.blogspot.com/2009/06/patience-is-frustrating-virtue.html
Desert Dame - Rockin' the Garden. Saturday, June 20, 2009. Patience is a (frustrating) virtue! Waiting for the Gypsy peppers to turn red. My Juliet tomatoes are beginning to blush. They have been the most prolific of all my tomato plants. Super Sweet 100 tomatoes, this plant is growing like a weed! I am getting good fruit set on the Hawaiian Tropic tomato plants. Black Cherry tomatoes have been my latest and least productive plants. A cluster of Heartland tomatoes - they are also setting plenty of fruit.

Desert Dame - Rockin' the Garden. Monday, June 22, 2009. As the Garden Grows. Things are progressing nicely even as temps are 100 degrees here in Tucson. This is my first year growing peppers from seed. I have not had great luck in the past growing ordinary sweet bell peppers so I'm trying some new varieties. From L to R in the front row - Mini Bells, Yummy, Sweet Spot, Flexum and Carmen. My first pepper grown from seed! June 22, 2009 at 3:30 PM. I want a garden! This doesnt help. Sigh.
