A garden blog, mostly. Thursday, December 24, 2009. With 9 or 10 inches on the ground already, and another 6 predicted to fall overnight, it should be a silent night. Except for when the plows roll through. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). St Paul, Minnesota, United States. View my complete profile. Garden Blogs and Links. Rock and Roll Gardener.

A garden blog, mostly. Thursday, December 17, 2009. Not the best photo, but I like the stark contrast that these astilbe create against the snow. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

growing things: panhandlers with 'tude
http://growingthings.blogspot.com/2009/07/panhandlers-with-tude.html
A garden blog, mostly. Saturday, July 11, 2009. Three young women were camped out in the center boulevard at the intersection of Franklin and Cedar Avenues in Minneapolis this afternoon. Unlike most Twin Cities panhandlers, their faces didn't bear the wear and tear of decades of addiction. While two lounged in the shade of a small tree, one held a hand-lettered sign which read:. If you voted for OBAMA, you owe me some CHANGE. I regret that I left my camera at home. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

growing things: Last of the tomatoes
http://growingthings.blogspot.com/2009/10/last-of-tomatoes.html
A garden blog, mostly. Sunday, October 25, 2009. Last of the tomatoes. Tonight I used the last of my tomatoes. Picked a couple of weeks ago, before our first frost, they finished ripening inside. While they aren't as good as vine-ripened tomatoes picked in their prime, the 'Garden Peach' and 'Red Figs' tasted pretty good in the black bean chili I made tonight. Funny, I made black bean chili tonight too. My tomatoes where the last of the bloody butchers. Is this a Monday thing? View my complete profile.

growing things: Learning from the Masters
http://growingthings.blogspot.com/2009/09/learning-from-masters.html
A garden blog, mostly. Tuesday, September 08, 2009. Learning from the Masters. One of these years, I'm going to sign up for the Master Gardener program. At the U. Until then, I think I've found a pretty good alternative. I've been volunteering to help Master Gardeners with their community gardening projects in my neighborhood. If you are free at noon on Sunday, September 13 and you want to learn about natives, consider helping with the Friends of Horton Park. Labels: education of a gardener. Stopped by y...

growing things: Dear Coca-Cola
http://growingthings.blogspot.com/2009/12/dear-coca-cola.html
A garden blog, mostly. Saturday, December 19, 2009. To you, this holiday bottle is probably just a fun novelty item. To teachers, however, this is a cheap (and unbreakable) alternative to a round-bottom flask. Suitable for young children. I like to use these bottles as lenses. Filled with water and held at arm's length, they produce images like this one. In a darkened room, one can shoot a laser beam through the water-filled bottle and observe the refraction.

growing things: Remembering Harry
http://growingthings.blogspot.com/2010/01/remembering-harry.html
A garden blog, mostly. Friday, January 08, 2010. Harry B. Paulson, Sr. died on Wednesday, January 6. Harry lived in the house behind mine. His obituary ends with this line:. Harry will be missed for many things but most notably his feistiness and zest for life. To my surprise, Harry climbed up right behind me. All the windows were closed. We tried to slip a thin piece of metal through the meeting rails of a bedroom window, hoping to open the clamshell sash lock. No luck. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

growing things: Insect Artists
http://growingthings.blogspot.com/2009/06/insect-artists.html
A garden blog, mostly. Saturday, June 27, 2009. This is about as good as it gets with insect pests: neatly nibbling interesting designs on an unwanted plant. UPDATE: Thanks to Mary Schier's most recent post,. I've learned that these leaves were cut by leafcutter bees. That should be easy to remember. Here are a couple more articles about leafcutter bees: one written by an entomologist. And one with some great photos. Labels: education of a gardener. Oh, that is nice! Mine dont do nearly as well!
