Lessons from the Garden. Friday, August 16, 2013. Pico de Gallo Overwhelmed by Cilantro and Stink Bugs. It looks innocent now, but wait till you smell it! Last year I made at attempt at homemade marinara sauce that was a big fail. I guess I'm just a store-bought sauce girl. So this year I decided to try my hand at yummy pico de gallo.

One of my favorite Philadelphia Mummer's Songs to hear on New Year's Day is "When You're Smilin'". It not only reminds me of my PopPop, but also makes it impossible not to smile! That also meant more time for me to get back to the garden. And don't you just love when your garden smiles back at you! When you're smilin' keep on smilin'. Apparently, a lot!

When my husband and I were first married, we rented a 1940s house with two beautiful rose bushes growing on the side of the house. They were the red long-stemmed kind that any woman would kill to have at her disposal any time she felt like a rose! To this day, I can't explain the success of the ones in the front yard. However, I just finally had success. Now, it's only been a few months (and I tend...Thurs...

Lessons from the Garden. Friday, July 26, 2013. Tomato and Cucumber Update. My favorite salad ingredients are the tomatoes and cucumbers. So when I saw my plants growing like weeds this summer, I got excited. And now, earlier than ever in my garden, the tomatoes are ripening. They're ripening really fast! Just this morning I gave away almost 10 tomatoes just from yesterday. So I was suprised when I went out and needed my son's help to carry in the "load". Just today. Friday, July 26, 2013.

They call this a burning bush for a reason! A blooming azalea in the fall? And then there's this ugly thing on the other side of the yard. My once gorgeous tomato plant that was taller than my husband, is now ...
