The Almost-Green Thumb: March 2011
http://gardenexperiment2010.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. The national weather service has issued a winter storm warning for the East Coast on Friday, April 1. They are predicting 6-10 inches of accumulation during the day-long wintery mix. I'm really hoping that Mother Nature is intending this announcement as an April Fool's prank. Is it really too much to ask for spring to arrive sometime soon? Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Sunday, March 27, 2011. I love weekends—who doesn't! Erica x darleyensis 'mediterranean pink'. But I knew they were...

The Almost-Green Thumb: June 2011
http://gardenexperiment2010.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 21, 2011. So, here is an overview of what I ordered and what I did not receive. Thirty hardy geraniums, ten day lilies, and five cone flowers. In addition, I was told the six rose bushes I ordered were out of stock as well. Same with the two garden grab bags ($200 worth of plants for $20). I don't want my house to look like the jungle! I guess I will pot them up and try to give them away as gifts. Oh well. One can't expect to like everything in a grab bag. Friday, June 17, 2011. Peas—...

The Almost-Green Thumb: July garden pictures
http://gardenexperiment2010.blogspot.com/2011/07/july-garden-pictures.html
Monday, July 18, 2011. Miniature hollyhock in front of daisies. But what more can I do—I can hardly bend over! Brief update on veggies:. Harvested my beets yesterday and roasted them for a beet, goat cheese, and arugula salad today for lunch. Yummy! The carrots are ready to go, but they are stuck hard in the ground. I can't pull them out without a shovel. Cavan loves eating them right out of the ground, washed by the hose, of course. Our broccoli plants each have excellent heads growing. The peas are sti...

Friday, June 17, 2011. Long overdue update: Part 1—Veggie Garden. Cavan admiring the biggest radish. Plucked from the garden. Peas—I didn't stake them this year and most of them. Have flopped over. Now I know for next time. Here's what's up in the veggie garden. Brussell sprouts—Notice all the holes from the cabbage worms. Radishes—All have been harvested. We had some giant cherry bombs and some the size of blueberries. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason for the size difference, but sinc...Eggplants a...

The Almost-Green Thumb: I'm BACK! 2013 reflection + 2014 goals
http://gardenexperiment2010.blogspot.com/2014/02/im-back-2013-reflection-2014-goals.html
Thursday, February 20, 2014. 2013 reflection 2014 goals. It has been a couple of years since I last made a gardening post. But despite my online absence, I have been gardening and learning A LOT! I think I got a bad pack of bean seeds because not one germinated either by direct sow or indoor planting). As far as starter plants, I purchased tomatoes, brussels sprouts, sweet red peppers, basil, and red cabbage. With these I had mixed results, which I will explain shortly. Long shot of veggie garden. I had ...

The Almost-Green Thumb: In-house consultant
http://gardenexperiment2010.blogspot.com/2011/05/in-house-consultant.html
Saturday, August 18, 2012. 65279;I am lucky to work at a school that also employs an expert horticulturalist as one of its biology teachers. He has a PhD in hortoculture from Cornell and prior to teaching, worked at the NY Botanical Gardens. Today I paid Ernie a visit with many questions. 65279; 1) My strawberry plants. The peas that I started indoors and transplanted to the garden a couple weeks ago have begun to turn yellow. The cause? 3) My newly planted herb seeds. 4) My mystery plant.

The Almost-Green Thumb: Deer management (welcome bowhunters!)

Thursday, July 7, 2011. Deer management (welcome bowhunters! Either way, the deers' days are numbered. July 7, 2011 at 3:02 PM. NY probably has so many regulations in regards to selling homegrown veggies it would cost an arm and and leg for a permit. Then theres paying income tax on your sales.
