In the Garden…planning for fall

August 14, 2013 By Angi Schneider 10 Comments

fall garden planning

Depending on where you live you might just be bringing in your summer harvest and can’t believe that some of us are already planning for fall. But fall is on it’s way. How do I know? Because we can go outside to play at 7pm in the evening and it be a pleasant 90ish degrees […]

the potential of a seed

February 3, 2013 By Angi Schneider 9 Comments

Hello, my name is Angi and I’m a seedaholic.   They say admitting it is the first step to recovery. But, I’m not so sure I want to be recovered. There’s just something about seeds. When I pass by those little stands of seeds at the store (and it seems like every store is in […]

In the garden…tomato hornworms or tobacco hornworms

June 19, 2012 By Angi Schneider 15 Comments

This weekend we discovered tomato hornworms in our garden. Can you see it? Carl had to show me several times before I could figure out what he was showing me. This is how he knew something was up…leaves totally stripped from the top of a very healthy tomato plant.  So now, each evening we have […]

Tips for Using a Soil Block Builder to Start Seeds

If you go out to your garden and the squash that has been doing just fine, is suddenly wilted, you probably have vine borers.Learn how to identify and prevent them.

If you go out to your garden and the squash that has been doing just fine, is suddenly wilted, you probably have vine borers. We have these every year and since we don’t spray our plants we will probably always have them. We’ve learned how to manage them over the years so that their damage […]

In the garden…starting seeds

March 16, 2011 By Angi Schneider 1 Comment

I mentioned earlier that one of our gardening goals is to keep our garden going all year. In keeping with full disclosure let me say that we have never been able to eat from the garden exclusively for a year, but we have that goal. Some years we do pretty good and some years we don’t do so […]
