Daffodils & Daydreams: My Big Project: Raised Vegetable Beds

http://daffodils-and-daydreams.blogspot.com/2011/06/my-big-project-raised-vegetable-beds.html

Friday, June 10, 2011. My Big Project: Raised Vegetable Beds. The space where the kitchen garden would go, looking from left back corner to right back corner. Back left corner of the yard that my older sister helped me clear out. Still gotta get that tree stump out of there. Some supplies: Cedar planks and PVC pipes. I know you’re enjoying that view of our neighbor’s lovely car as much as I am.). All of the raised beds except the other u-shaped one. I used plants here instead. I am still working on my gr...

Daffodils & Daydreams: The Kitchen Garden in June

http://daffodils-and-daydreams.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-kitchen-garden-in-june.html

Tuesday, July 28, 2015. The Kitchen Garden in June. Slowly but surely, trying to catch up with my blog. What was June like in the kitchen garden this year? Well, I’ll tell ya.to be honest, I don’t have a lot of photos of the kitchen garden in June. I was away for two long weekends and seemed to have tons of other activities going on. But here is a brief glimpse of what was happening. The cherry-sized Indigo Ruby Tomatoes started to show in June. They started out almost black, which is pretty cool. I had ...

Daffodils & Daydreams: FINALLY!!!! Time to break out the champagne!

http://daffodils-and-daydreams.blogspot.com/2013/08/finally-time-to-break-out-champagne.html

Saturday, August 31, 2013. Time to break out the champagne! I am still in a state of shock and disbelief. After waiting four years for the neighbor to finish the fence, it is FINALLY DONE! When I came home from work on Friday, I was standing on the back porch looking out over the garden. I saw a glimmer of white through the garden where I usually see the neighbor’s broken down boat. I exclaimed, “Oh my God, it’s done! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm a graphic designer who happens to love to garde...

Friday, July 27, 2012. Recipe from the Garden: Scallop and Spinach Salad with Gorgonzola. I made this recipe up one night when I saw fresh, local scallops at the store. I didn’t have a recipe in mind until I got home and took a look at what I had in the fridge and what was growing in the vegetable garden. This has become one of my favorite easy recipes. Scallop and Spinach Salad with Gorgonzola. Scallop and Spinach Salad with Gorgonzola. 8226; large sea scallops. 8226; crumbled gorgonzola. 8226; olive oil.

Daffodils & Daydreams: Molly & Izzy

http://daffodils-and-daydreams.blogspot.com/2011/07/molly-izzy.html

Sunday, July 31, 2011. Ok, so that last post was really depressing. I feel like I need to do a happy post now. What could be happier than kittens! And yes, it still is garden related.sort of. A month after Monty passed away, we got two adorable kittens, Molly and Isabella. Was it too soon? Yes Were we ready to be pet parents again? No Do we regret it? Izzy and Molly on the screened-in back porch when they were kittens. Molly in her favorite spot on the porch next to the potted catnip. The Back Yard: Then...

Daffodils & Daydreams: My Weekend Project: Finishing the Flower Garden Path

http://daffodils-and-daydreams.blogspot.com/2014/07/my-weekend-project-finishing-flower.html

Sunday, July 20, 2014. My Weekend Project: Finishing the Flower Garden Path. First-time visitors to my garden inevitably are drawn to the arbor and path in the flower garden – the path that dead-ends at a statue (Winnie). A path that doesn’t really go anywhere isn’t much of a path. I weeded and leveled the ground as best I could. There are a lot of tree roots in this area due to the three large trees that are there, so I knew it wouldn’t be perfect. I faced the bee stepping stones towards Winnie, since s...

Daffodils & Daydreams: A Tribute to Monty

http://daffodils-and-daydreams.blogspot.com/2011/07/tribute-to-monty.html

Saturday, July 30, 2011. A Tribute to Monty. It’s been much too long since I last posted. Planning for and going on vacation for two weeks really threw me off schedule. As I adjust to being back home after an awesome trip to Oregon, I find myself reflecting back on what happened a year ago. What does this have to do with gardening, you wonder? Monty napping on the screened-in back porch. When I sit on the back porch looking at the garden, I can’t help but think of Monty. Sometimes I feel as if ...You wer...

Daffodils & Daydreams: May 2015

http://daffodils-and-daydreams.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 5, 2015. The Flower Garden in April. As I mentioned a few posts ago, April is crazy-time. It is always a mad dash to get both the kitchen garden and flower gardens prepped for the season. I am so behind this year, but now that I finished my web design certificate and no longer have night classes and homework, I am frantically trying to get caught up. Things start out pretty drab in early April. The lush green color of spring starts to take over, including the lawn. This is the first year I p...

Daffodils & Daydreams: The Back Yard: Then and Now

http://daffodils-and-daydreams.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-back-yard-then-and-now.html

Saturday, February 16, 2013. The Back Yard: Then and Now. The Herb Garden THEN. When we first bought the house I knew this was the perfect place to plant herbs – right by the back door for easy access. The Herb Garden NOW. Mint, chives, thyme, germander, sage, rosemary, thai basil, lemon balm, with a few daffodils and hostas mixed in. In Front of the Shed THEN. The area in front of the shed was an overgrown mess of wisteria vines and weed trees. In Front of the Shed NOW. The Flower Garden THEN. This was ...
