Posted in aphids, diseases, nasturtiums, peppers, strawberries, tomatoes on September 27, 2009 | 2 Comments »

It’s so pitiful, really, that I’m not going to show a picture of it.  A while ago, I went out and mercilessly hacked off a bunch of tomato branches and leaves that were doomed by powdery mildew.  My garden looks depressingly skeletal now, but at least it is still producing for now:
I had enough tomatoes [...]

Things sure have been busy around here since my last post.  Husband and I had a nice long weekend at GenCon in Indianapolis, I started my new job, I won a blue ribbon and a rosette at the State Fair for one of my sewn projects (more about that in a later post, maybe! [...]

I’ve been looking forward to this day all winter long!  I planted out my tomato and herb sprouts that had been growing in Husband’s office.
We trucked them home on Friday after work, and I could hardly wait to start planting them on Saturday.  Here’s the balcony before I started.  You can see that the lettuces [...]
