My Green Ambitions: Garden Harvest

http://mygreenambitions.blogspot.com/2010/06/garden-harvest.html

9:58 AM - Posted by Greenie - 0 comments. It's funny when I look back over the last few blog posts and see pictures of the garden. Whenever I take photos, I feel like the garden looks so good and the plants are getting so big - but then it changes so much in just another few days' time! New zucchini are ready to harvest almost every day, along with small (but delicious! And I also love how excited the kids are about the garden, too. So far they're still a bit shy about actually.

My Green Ambitions: Three Sisters Update

http://mygreenambitions.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-sisters-update.html

10:48 AM - Posted by Greenie - 0 comments. Here's an updated photo of our Three Sisters garden. The squashes along the bottom are really taking off. We even have several baby pumpkins (or are those Long Island Cheese Squash? Maybe Marina di Chioggia? The corn has several ears now. And the beans continue to climb! Than the green beans. Now that they've climbed up the corn, the purple bean plants actually have purple leaves. The purple plants seem heartier than the green ones. Or maybe the purp...My Califo...

My Green Ambitions: Sunberries

http://mygreenambitions.blogspot.com/2010/08/sunberries.html

11:04 AM - Posted by Greenie - 2 comments. These lovely things are sunberries. They're relatively new to me. I don't think I'd ever heard of them before my friend Cassie started growing some in her garden last year. And, since lots of sunberry seeds went into her compost pile, she ended up with tons of sunberry seedlings this spring - which she then shared with me!

My Green Ambitions: June 2010

http://mygreenambitions.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

10:56 AM - Posted by Greenie - 0 comments. Check out this Seashell Cosmo. The tubular petals are so cool! The funny thing about these is that the seed packet said it came with a variety of colors. And we have had a few other colors (white and pale pink) come up - but this color is the only one with true tubular petals. I kind of wish I'd planted more of these. i had so many packets of cosmo seeds. Why didn't I use more of them? Oh well. There's always next season! 10:48 AM - Posted by Greenie - 0 comments.

Tomato Progress and garden musings. 12:36 PM - Posted by Greenie - 0 comments. So, remember a while ago when my tomato plants looked like this? But there's been progress. Now they look like this:. The other day when I was at work, I went by the coffee cart to buy a morning scone and they had a dahlia in a vase. Dahlias are such enormous and beautiful flowers! It would be so great to have a bunch of them growing together. It would be an explosion of color in the garden! I've always wanted to plant a few f...

My Green Ambitions: July 2009

2:38 PM - Posted by Greenie - 1 comments. And set to work. It took me a long time, and I tried to do things by the book. I couldn't believe how much more work it was to make a quilt the right way! I also learned the hidden, ugly secret to good quilting: buttloads of ironing. IRONING! Like, more ironing than I've ever done in my life! But I have to say, I was mighty proud of the results. Next, the "crazy quilt" or string quilt. They're made of lots of different scraps sewn together, and it's a great w...

My Green Ambitions: April 2009

http://mygreenambitions.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. 2:09 PM - Posted by Greenie - 0 comments. At the end of last year, during my brief stint in a book club, I had the pleasure of reading Barbara Kingsolver's fab book. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: a Year of Food Life. The first chapter of the book talks about asparagus. Now, I've seen asparagus throughout my life. I knew what it looked like, even though I admit I didn't actually eat it regularly until I was an adult. But until I read. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. Ready, Set, GROW!

My Green Ambitions: October 2009

http://mygreenambitions.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

10:24 AM - Posted by Greenie - 0 comments. I am so very susceptible to the power of suggestion. A very serious spiritual discussion. Though obviously a handkerchief would be more for dabbing the occasional tear or sniffle and not for any major nose-blowing action. I'm all for saving the earth but I don't need cute little embroidered bundles of snot in my purse. Daffodils and other bulbs. 9:51 AM - Posted by Greenie - 1 comments. Isn't it so happy and pretty looking? I wandered lonely as a cloud. Ten thou...

Signs of Spring and Garden Plots. 10:18 AM - Posted by Greenie - 3 comments. It's Springtime at last! The weather is warming up and things are in bloom! The compost is so dark and rich - like crumbled chocolate cake. I never thought I'd ever be so excited about a truckload of dirt. Anyway, with those plans underway I guess it's time to start plotting the garden. Here are the general ideas I have. First, there's this little patch of grass near our garbage cans:. I need to build some supports for the plant...
