Garden Girlie: April 2007
http://apartmentgarden.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 27, 2007. Hydrangea Present from my fiancee. I am a lucky gal. Last night, my fiancee surprised me with a pot of purple hydrangeas. Isn't he the best! He was at the store and thought I would like them. Awww. These aren't the florist hydrangeas. They're the ones you find at the nursery so they're a hardy variety. I've been pinching back some of the flowers on my other tomato plants (Roma, Marglobe, and Supersweets)to encourage top and side growth and to ensure a bigger crop in the summer.

Garden Girlie: February 2008
http://apartmentgarden.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 28, 2008. I got this pretty AV awhile ago at Lowes. It was a pathetic little thing at Lowes. It was discounted to $1.00. All it needed was a little TLC. I placed it under my grow lights and it's done really well as yal can see. The coleus outside are doing well. No losses yet although, I did have to get rid of a cat that wondered into my garden. They are so annoying. I have gates up but they still manage to get in. I just wish they would leave my garden alone! I noticed that my garlic.

Saturday, March 29, 2008. Okra Seedlings (click to enlarge). Today I was busily spending lots of time in the garden. I moved my bell pepper seedlings, dill, fennel, Mexican Honey tomato and stock seedlings into bigger pots. I also planted more radishes (watermelon radishes) into the ground as well as sunflower, asparagus peas, and black zucchini seedlings. I also put some stakes down to distinguish my square foot garden and I noticed that I had six squares empty. I think I'll plant more herbs like ba...

Sunday, April 6, 2008. Pepper Transplanting, Bean Germinating and More. Pepper Seedlings (click to enlarge). I transplanted jalapeno, bell peppers, and squash into individual pots I got from Thompson and Morgan. Which is a garden forum I actively visit on a daily basis. There, you can exchange various seeds you have for other seeds you don't have! It's been great fun. French Filet Bean Sprout(click to enlarge). Top Crop Bean Sprout(click to enlarge).

Garden Girlie: June 2007
http://apartmentgarden.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2007. End of the Month Stuff. I can't believe it's the end of June! My zucchini or maybe squash plant that I put in the ground is finally growing bigger. For awhile, it was doing nothing! Literally, doing nothing, nada, zero, zilch! Now, it's flowering male flowers and soon I hope female flowers. Everything is doing well. No issues with the garden. However, I am having some issues with my neighbor upstairs. I have a new neighbor and he's a smoker! I don't know what to do with this one!
