Winter Garden week 21
Our winter garden is slowly coming to an end. WE DT has pulled and tilled almost everything, except for the broccoli and the cabbage. This years garden was a learning experience, it didn’t do nearly as well as expected because of our harsher than normal winter and tons of rain. Our cabbage never quite grew, […]
A game of keep away
The 20th week of our winter garden, and we are almost ready to say good bye, next weekend we will pull what’s left of the garden like the cabbage that never quite made it and the carrots and turnips. DT will till the garden, let it sit a few days, then we will lay chicken […]
Garden and New Arrivals
*Don’t forget to stop by and enter to win the Book One and The Same* Its week 19 of our garden and we finally harvested our wonky cauliflower and second crop of broccoli. It was the perfect amount to feed the family for dinner. Though it wasn’t the prettiest or largest cauliflower ever, it had […]
Winter Garden week 16
This unusually cold winter of ours has not done the best for our garden, and it shows. I admit by the first glance at our garden it looks pretty pitiful. Small and overgrown with weeds. But when you look closer there are some wonderful veggies growing in there, for instance this cauliflower, its about the […]
Winter Garden week 14
It’s week 14 of the garden and we are finally eating and enjoying it. I picked our broccoli today and cooked Broccoli and cheese (a family fave). We’ve also been enjoying our lettuce this week in plenty of salads. The weather has been very mild with highs around 75 and plenty of sunlight so the […]
Winter Garden week 12
At this time last year in our garden, we were picking broccoli and cabbage already. It just proves how weather can really affect the growth of the garden. We’ve have had an extremely wet and cold winter so far and last year a really mild winter. This is our garden last year at 12 weeks […]
Winter Garden – Week 7
The cold is finally upon us, it’s even predicted to snow tomorrow. In south east Texas that is a rarity. I have a great snow story I will share one day, and I am hoping to have another tomorrow. I really really hope it does, but I also hope the garden will be able to […]
Winter Garden week 4
I find it rather funny calling this my winter garden, when its 85 today! Can you ladies up north send some cooler air down? I need it desperately. I want to wear a jacket, I want to feel the cold air blow through my hair and send a chill down my spine. I want to […]
Winter Vegetable Garden – week 2
Week 2 of the garden and we’ve had lots of rain and lots of growth. Though sadly enough the pictures are still not all that exciting. I so will give a brief run through. Front view of the garden and we have some carrot sprouts Lots of little green sprouting up, it always makes me […]
Winter Vegetable Garden
We’ve Planted!!!! Yea after 3 weeks of waiting for the rain to stop we (ie: DT) was able to till and plant our winter vegetable garden. As you can see we still have some of our huge Okra plants, and a few pepper plants. They have slowed down a bit so we will probably pull […]
