Square Foot Gardening
(Please pardon the iPhone photo. Dead camera battery.) I went out yesterday morning to survey the garden…and to make sure it survived our weekend away. I was pleasantly surprised to find lots of red grape-roma tomatoes, and a meal’s worth of green beans! I picked some basil, parsley and oregano and then got to work. [...]
Rather than let the garden herbs grow out of control, make pesto instead. I have found that it doesn’t really matter how much of which kind of herb you use…as long as you have enough basil in there to give it that basil flare. I did not measure my pesto as I made it…but I’ll [...]
Last year, y’all taught me about dishsoap spray. And I wanted to pass the information along to anyone who might not be using it. Last year I had trouble with Mexican beetles eating my green bean plants. While my green bean plants did a lovely job of producing green beans, I was not too fond [...]
For a while now, I’ve been toying with the idea of putting myself on a Gluten Free diet. No real reason really. Just want to see if I feel any different when eliminating gluten. And here is a recipe that will be on the menu when (if ever) I decide to make that leap. Ingredients [...]

It can snow in May here. I REEEEAAAALLLYYYY want to plant the rest of my seeds and transplant a few potted plants, but I [...]
Last year, for the first time in my life, I gardened. I chronicled the experience here on the site, posting update every few weeks. I’m planning on posting again each week, starting later in this spring and going through the summer. This year, I plan to include a Mr. Linky in each of the garden [...]
At this point, we’re just throwing things together…a little of this from the freezer with a little of that from the pantry! But I must say…this is a WINNER!!! (You know it’s a winner when you arrive at the dinner table half full because you’ve been sneaking bites from the skillet!) Video Disclaimers Please excuse [...]
