Hi,
I have moved to a new house, with a new garden (really new! As in, the previous owner cleared the bush yard, put in a retaining wall and established grass, immediately before selling it!). We plan to replace the lovely front lawn with more lovely fruit trees and a decent vegie patch. We ha…

Hi everyone,
Last night pozorvlak and I did a code push to the site, which contains the final features we wanted in place before our public launch. These are, most importantly:

I'll be moving into my house in a week. I've been holding off on transplanting my seedlings, but today I thought I'd move the squash and just put it in the ground rather than wait til we can get raised beds built (decided to go with table-style raised beds, made from cast off pallets, with a plas…

I planted my bush beans and pole beans on May 27th. They have all germinated and have their first set of leaves and are at least an inch tall. Probably a bit more. Today is June 2? GO BEANS.

I planted several fava bean plants last fall, mainly as a way to get something into my newly dug flowerbed.
Now they've flowered and set pods. Does anyone know how to tell when fava bean pods are ripe for picking? I've never grown fava beans before, so I really have no idea.

Well, it looks like this is the end of the line for this year's (massive sarcasm quotes) "cool season" here. Pea production appears to be slowing down significantly, and I'm pulling out the last of the lettuce while some is still edible. Much of it is too bitter to eat. New lettuce stopped coming…

The leaf crops did marvelously. In fact, they are still growing strong since temps have been below average. The peas and root crops were a disaster. Nothing bulbed up particularly well and the peas were all leaf and no bloom. Apparently the nitrogen content of my soil is too high for root crops. …

Remember that hopeful post I made about possibly some tomatoes coming up volunteer?
That has since developed into 'WTF DO I DO WITH ALL THESE TOMATO PLANTS'.
There were thirty-six of them over two inches high as of this afternoon, and increasing. I'm scared.
I got one of those upside-dow…

Hello, I've been programming since I was 13 and I love Ruby have done it the past 7 years. I recently got into gardening because my husband said I needed to do something besides "code" :) And I am finding it super fun!
I wanted a house plant, I have two big window seats. I think Ivy s are neat…
