Every Tuesday night I share a detailed pictorial account of our week in the garden! We cover everything from vegetable and flower progress, harvests, preservation, garden infrastructure, and more! Join Sara and I alongside the garden supervisors (Yoda, Scout and Henry)
"Sometimes good intentions in the garden lead straight to soaked, wilted SunPatiens! This week, we learn the hard way why heavy mulching chokes hanging basket stems, set up a smart plug and grow-light rig for a $15 clearance Majesty Palm, spot a London-to-Mexico City Boeing 787 through our luffa trellis, and pick our very first Purple Yardlong Beans."
"What starts as six $15 clearance hydrangeas quickly escalates into marking paint, sod cutters, and a brand-new front yard bed layout—welcome to 'Gardener Math'! This week we're renovating our overgrown hanging baskets with SunPatiens, breaking down the science of organic B.T. spray against vine borers, stringing up cayenne peppers for drying, and enjoying jalapeno cheddar sourdough."
"Celebrating a milestone of 200 monthly readers and a 28th birthday, this week we're filling the vegetable freezer! Follow along as we snap, blanch, flash-freeze, and vacuum-seal our purple yardlong beans. Plus, we explore a gifted 1946 garden encyclopedia to uncover the truth about bougainvillea bracts, track red-ripening jalapeños for chipotle making, and find Yoda relaxing under the Black-Eyed Susan trellis."
