Awesomeburgh!: June 2011
http://www.awesomeburgh.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 25, 2011. I really have no idea what I am doing. Really. This is sorta. The third year we've had a garden here, but only the second where we'll actually get a harvest since that first year we lost our whopping 8 plants to late blight. Today I managed to get out to Wilkinsburg to FINALLY try to get new eggplant seedlings from Garden Dreams. A haunted house. Or a non-haunted house doing a really great impression of a haunted house.). Next time I'm bringing the kids. Links to this post. One o...

Homewood Garden Plot 41. Musings on an urban garden and the joy of growing your own. Sunday, March 8, 2009. I'll Get it Right This Year! I will NOT start the tomatoes yet. I will NOT start the tomatoes yet. I will NOT start the tomatoes yet. . . I really need to repeat this mantra until the end of the month because EVERY year I wind up with tomato plants that are overflowing their pots and my shelves weeks before they can go in the ground. Why? 160;So THIS year I'm going to get it right! March 14: &#...

Homewood Garden Plot 41. Musings on an urban garden and the joy of growing your own. Sunday, August 2, 2009. It's Looking Pretty Blighty 'Round Here! Oh those elusive tomatoes! 160;Why is it that I grew tomatoes as a kid with no apparent problems (and absolutely no gardening experience! And now that I've been learning about how to garden, pampering my soil, growing companion plants, encouraging the good insects, blah-blah-blah, tomatoes are about the only thing I haven't been able to grow so far! But the...

http://homewoodgardenplot41.blogspot.com/2009/12/right-by-nature.html
Homewood Garden Plot 41. Musings on an urban garden and the joy of growing your own. Saturday, December 5, 2009. There isn't much coming out of the garden these days. We do have some parsnips waiting to be harvested, the salsify that volunteered from. And lots of leeks. Hopefully these will be fine in the ground despite the snow flurries we're getting today and the cold weather that is forecast. It is December, after all! And I STILL haven't cut back the. Winter always does sneak up on me! Hat’s go...

Crayons poised over my graph paper. Ready to plan away. I had my. Out open to their sections on crop-rotation and planting timetables. Visions of well-organized garden bed layouts flitted across my brain. My intentions were good, they really were! We're waiting . . . So I guess it's time for Plan B. What's Plan B? Do the best...

Homewood Garden Plot 41. Musings on an urban garden and the joy of growing your own. Sunday, February 7, 2010. Garden Planning Part 1. I think I've been hibernating. There certainly hasn't been anything but the winter wind whistling through this site lately! And a Note to Self: Leaving your winter supply of parsnips and leeks in the ground means they STAY in the ground until it thaws. It would take a jackhammer to free those puppies! Sigh Live and learn. So I figured I might as well write about it! Well,...

It seems like just yesterday I was harvesting tasty lettuce and spinach. Well, the heat took care of that- my beautiful greens turned all ugly and bitter on me. My revenge? Pull them out and plant some pumpkins! Winter squash, to be specific. Fairy Squash. Again, plus a couple of heirlooms just for fun. Galeux D'Exsines. Little Homestead ...
