Backyard garden

July 22, 2015GardenFree food...from the ground!, Garden, No room for weeds!warren

A couple of years ago, we decided to convert a crummy section of our backyard into garden space.  We used to have a gigantic garden but with all of our running around, we found that we could not adequately manage such a large plot.  Still, we really liked having fresh vegetables to eat.  And honestly, I … Continue reading Backyard garden →

Garden whoopee

July 19, 2013Food, Garden, NatureGarden, Garden whoopee, veggies are awesome!warren

I remember watching the Newlywed Game when I was a kid.  I guess it was in syndication when I saw it but we watched regularly, and I really enjoyed it for some reason.  The couples were funny and spontaneous and innocent.  It was a different sort of tv I guess.  Anyhow, Bob Eubanks invariably asked the … Continue reading Garden whoopee →

A quick yard-garden broccoli update

June 5, 2013GardenGarden, It's food...coming from the ground!warren

I mentioned a few weeks ago that we converted a bit of yard-space into raised beds for growing food.  We got everything in the ground and it has pretty much all “taken”.  If you have never tried, stuff grown in your own garden  is far superior to food you buy in a store.  I don’t … Continue reading A quick yard-garden broccoli update →

Converting yard space into garden space

May 13, 2013Family, Food, GardenEat your lawn!, Garden, I am a mule, Mowing sucks!warren

We have chunks of yard at our place, some of which the kids play around in, but most of which we complain about mowing more than anything. In particular, the fenced in back part where the former dog used to stay was a big waste of space. With the dog having run away, the canine … Continue reading Converting yard space into garden space →

Garden…finally!

June 7, 2010Family, GardenFamily, Gardenwarren

We always start the garden in early March by planting seeds…especially for tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli and peppers.  By the time May 10 (our somewhat official last frost date) rolls around, we have pretty good looking plants ready to go into the ground.  We plant by the signs too so we are particular about getting stuff … Continue reading Garden…finally! →

Hydroponic Gardening

March 15, 2010Garden, Nature, WVFlooding, Garden, WVwarren

I have been itching to get dirty again working in the garden.  Spring is nearly here and the snow has melted at the house.  Daffodils are starting to poke through and I saw my first forsythia blooming today!  Spring has to be my favorite time of year as life starts popping again.  The bees fly … Continue reading Hydroponic Gardening →

A Garden Dialog

October 13, 2009GardenGardenwarren

The time has come to stow the garden. It seems like just yesterday that we were fussing over getting the seeds ordered. Before we knew it, we needed to get them started…we were late getting them in afterall. Of course that’s typical. We watched patiently as the tiny spouts pushed through the ground. It was … Continue reading A Garden Dialog →

The real use of a garden tub

January 9, 2009Family, FunFamily, Funwarren

When we bought our house, the main bathroom had an enormous garden tub with jets and big fancy knobs and drains and room for 2.  We were sure that it would get a lot of use and be a great thing to have in our new old house.  We quickly found, however, that our 50 … Continue reading The real use of a garden tub →

End of the Summer Garden

October 17, 2008Canning, Garden, ThoughtsCanning, Garden, Thoughtswarren

We wrapped up the summer garden last weekend. Mentally, we checked out of it a few weeks ago, completely exhausted from canning and drying and pickling and cooking. Gardening and canning is exhausting work though we both really enjoy it (don’t ask us now, ask us in February) and it gives us a lot of … Continue reading End of the Summer Garden →

First harvest from the garden

June 26, 2008GardenGardenwarren

Emily worked in the garden at her grandparents’ house yesterday and picked the first garlic and broccoli of the season. Emily’s grandparents, Gene and Ruth have kept a garden at their place for 50 years or so. We have recently started helping them keep it going. We had the broccoli last night for supper and … Continue reading First harvest from the garden →
