The adventures of a gardener who doesn't plan. Friday, April 12, 2013. For the Love of Tomatoes. Planting the babies March 18, 2013. Root system of transplants. Planting deep so that roots can develop along the stem. We also mixed in a handful of organic veggie fertilizer, a handful of compost, and a handful of earthworm castings. Once planted, we watered with a weak combination of liquid organic fertilizer and fish emulsion. Under the buckets 3/25/13 (obviously from Home Depot! Freeze burn on leaves.

The adventures of a gardener who doesn't plan. Monday, May 18, 2015. I love growing poppies! They are early bloomers for us in Texas. They're easy to grow as well. Just toss seeds out in the fall and wait. They germinate and start sprouting in late January or early February and then take off from there. I haven't intentionally sown any poppy seeds for the past couple of years, yet I get a bumper crop of volunteers every year, like these in the picture above. Saturday, May 2, 2015. We didn't have any home...

The adventures of a gardener who doesn't plan. Sunday, June 27, 2010. We've been so busy harvesting and shelling black-eyed peas (pink eye purple hulls, actually) picking tomatoes and okra, and watching the progress of the cantaloupes that I've not had time to update. Not to mention that work really hinders my computer time! I'm usually not feeling this way until the middle to end of July. We ended up with a mop bucket full of beans. The partial harvest for the day of the beans. Bloom and the first pods.

The adventures of a gardener who doesn't plan. Tuesday, May 13, 2014. DIY Butterfly Cage (Helping the Butterfly Population). About a week ago, I found a Black Swallowtail egg on my dill. A couple of days ago, I found this wee little 1st instar caterpillar chowing down on my dill. He's very tiny, probably about 1/4" long. I knew that I'd need to get some butterfly cages ready to keep some of these inside and away from predators, such as wasps, if I was to help the butterfly population. Using your hot glue...

The adventures of a gardener who doesn't plan. Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Excitement in the Garden! A couple of weeks ago, I found baby Black Swallowtail cats on our dill plants. They were teeny tiny, much smaller than they appear in these pics, and weird looking. I've never seen Black Swallowtail cats, so I had no idea what they were! Before I could rescue them, though, the wasps got them. I was so upset! I was so excited! I showed it to DH and told him, "We HAVE TO rescue this guy! Thursday, May 6, 2010.

The Haphazard Gardener: April 2012

The adventures of a gardener who doesn't plan. Wednesday, April 11, 2012. Back in the Garden! Last year, all gardening efforts were pretty much a bust as my husband had some serious health issues that prohibited him from working in the garden and left me to do tend the house, the kitties, him, and work. Something had to give, and unfortunately, it was the veggie garden. The heat probably would've killed everything anyway. So if you want bigger onions, fertilize with a high nitrogen fertilizer. LOL We als...

The adventures of a gardener who doesn't plan. Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Starting the Fall Garden. I've never really "done" a fall garden because you have to start it in the dead of summer when the temps are over 100º and it's miserable to be outside during the daylight hours. Really, who can garden in the dark when it's not so hot? On top of the miserable heat, we've had NO measurable rain for weeks. I counted 5 babies on one plant yesterday and that was just at a glance from one direction! Full sun in Tex...

The Haphazard Gardener: Planting Tomatoes
http://haphazardgardener.blogspot.com/2015/05/planting-tomatoes.html
The adventures of a gardener who doesn't plan. Saturday, May 2, 2015. Tomatoes are probably the most planted vegetable in gardens across America. Who doesn't like a vine-ripened, juicy tomato? There is nothing store-bought that can compare to the tasty goodness of a homegrown tomato. Prior to planting, be sure to loosen the root system a little bit. This helps them get going once in the ground. We use Nature's Guide Tomato and Pepper food and earthworm castings from Texas Worm Ranch. I am a 40-something ...
