The Garden – Week 3

Posted by Hallee on May 26, 2010 in Gardening, Hallee's Galley

It’s all starting to happen this week. Lots of progress has been made, but there’s still work to do every day. Here’s the view of the big garden – the shadow of the house is annoying. Sorry about that. I didn’t take the picture until Wednesday morning, when I have been taking them Tuesday evening:

Garden Week 1

Posted by Hallee on May 11, 2010 in Gardening, Hallee's Galley

All of the seedlings I planted before I left for spring break a few weeks ago died while I was on vacation. I think the cat had her way with them. So, I replanted them last week, finally. They are just starting to grow. The potatoes I planted in my large garbage can are doing beautifully – the can is already halfway full of dirt and I have about 10 potato plants growing steadily upward. I’m excited to see what the potato harvest will end up being.

I finally got my backyard tilled. I’m kind of glad that I didn’t have it done before now, because we had a pretty harsh cold snap the last couple of days, and if I’d have been on the schedule I had in my mind, I could have lost everything and had to start over.

Gardening in Containers

Posted by Hallee on Apr 19, 2010 in Gardening, Hallee's Galley

So many people want to garden, but don’t have the room to do it. They either don’t have a yard at all, or the yard they have is unsuitable for gardening. But if you have a desire to grow, if you want some fresh home-grown vegetables on your table this season, it’s possible to grow some things without a yard.

Gardening: Let’s Get Started!

Posted by Hallee on Mar 1, 2010 in Gardening, Hallee's Galley

It’s finally time to start working on our gardens again! I’m so excited. Last year was the first year I had my own full garden, and God provided such a bounty out of it! I started small, learned what I needed and what I didn’t need, and learned what I need to do differently. Now I’m ready for a bigger, better, more functional garden this year!

gift idea: Potted Amaryllis

Posted by Hallee on Oct 3, 2009 in Gardening, Gift Ideas

Potted Amaryllis: A wonderful hand-made and rather inexpensive gift from the heart would be a beautiful flowering plant from a bulb you (and/or your children) planted.
