Over the years I have really grown (pun intended) to love cruciferous vegetables but have never really had much luck in my garden with brussels sprouts…usually all leaf and no vegetable. But that’s not the case this year. I have 4 plants growing in my front yard about 12 inches from the sidewalk. Maybe itContinue reading “Sidewalk Brussels Sprouts”

>The Last of the Tomatoes
> I rummaged around the garden in the rear of my house today and was surprised to discover tomatoes hanging from the vines and lying on the ground…not bad for the second week of October. There are still a fair amount of green ones hanging on the vines which I didn’t pick but probably shouldContinue reading “>The Last of the Tomatoes”

August
Despite the incredible devastation to my tomato plants by an enormous hornworm I’m still able to collect a fair share of tomatoes (click here to see a picture of the scary hornworm in action). This was today’s collection, there’s more to come yet…looks like there’s tomato sauce in my future this summer after all…although probablyContinue reading “August”

After The Rain
After the rain tonight I went out to the garden to pick a few tomatoes because I saw that some were super-ripe and nearly ready to fall from the vines themselves. It was that magical time–almost mystical–right after a storm when it’s not-yet-night but not-quite-day. The sky had a glow to it and–because of theContinue reading “After The Rain”

Summer!
I Love this…as hot and humid as it has been this year I am really enjoying it. The garden is literally out of control. You can barley see the Mundo locked up to the hitching post behind the cucumber, broccoli, green beans, and corn. Whenever I start to get down about how hot it hasContinue reading “Summer!”
