Lake City Farm: Trellisses, Arbors and Gnomes
http://lakecityfarm.blogspot.com/2013/07/trellisses-arbors-and-gnomes.html
Sunday, July 28, 2013. Trellisses, Arbors and Gnomes. We added this little guy this year to watch over the garden. Gimli son of Gloin. We have more vertical gardening going on this year, with this cucumber trellis. The eggplants did very well in the beginning and one variety continued through the whole season but the other variety stopped producing fruit but was still producing flowers when I pulled it out. Next year the bean trellis will be our grape trellis. Bob is starting a vineyard. Http:/ www.p...

Lake City Farm: Tomatoes and a Straw Bale Greenhouse
http://lakecityfarm.blogspot.com/2013/04/tomatoes-and-straw-bale-greenhouse.html
Sunday, April 21, 2013. Tomatoes and a Straw Bale Greenhouse. The days are getting longer and warmer and green garlic shoots are starting to poke up out of the soil. Spring is here! We're starting to get things organized for another growing season both inside and out. Great work space for me. Better late than never - we now have a workspace down in the family room close to the light stand where the seedlings were started in February. Running out of room to grow. Note the compost bins. WELCOME to the worl...

Lake City Farm: February 2013
http://lakecityfarm.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 28, 2013. Tis the season for starting seeds . . . The days are getting longer and while we still seem to be getting steady doses of winter (cold temps and snow) there is a definite hint of spring in the air. Of course, that means seed starting. We still don't have a proper stand-alone greenhouse (we're running out of room around the old urban farm homestead! So we'll be using the indoor three-shelf plant stand again. Another growing season is about to get started here at Lake City Farm.
