Lights

Bought some lights for my seedlings. Love having an electrician in the house.

Crocuses

I know. A little underwhelming for the work I put into them. But a few years from now, when they've gotten well established and spread, I expect they will be magnificent. :)

Grape Hyacinths

I was beginning to wonder if they were going to show themselves.

They all look the same at this age, but these are some of my coles and tomatoes. I'm wondering if putting the celery in with the coles was a good idea - they take longer to germinate, so no signs of them yet.

"Little Marvel" Peas

Hmm, that's the whole 1/2 oz packet, and I only got two varieties. Need more.

This Dude Was Supposed To Get Painted

On the next rainy day, but instead I got some work stuff that was stressing me out taken care of and then slept like the dead til after sunset.

Welcome!

This blog serves several purposes. First of all, I've never before successfully managed to maintain a garden journal of any kind. That means every season, I'm left scratching my head, trying to remember where *that* came from, what *that* is, and how I managed to do *that* last time. I'm hoping that the convenience of being able to upload from my phone will help me stick with this, unlike all the other halfhearted attempts I've made at keeping some sort of record. Second, it's a way to show my yard and garden projects off to my friends who are interested in that sort of thing without flooding the majority who aren't interested with garden burbling. Third, I expect it to feed my motivation, and give me incentive to do great things, or at least maintain a relatively weed-free spot to post photos from. Last, but not least, it'll be a catch-all for garden/food/etc... related thoughts - book reviews, recipes, articles, etc... so I can find them later.

99% of the posts here start out as photos and/or videos uploaded from my phone, mostly via email, but occasionally (mostly in the case of videos longer than about 10 seconds) by USB transfer to my netbook. You may stop in to find the most recent entries devoid of text, tags, or formatting, which means they were uploaded and I haven't had time to sit down at a computer to edit them since then.

You should be able to click any photo or video to see a larger version of it. You should be able to leave a comment if you're so inclined, so feel free to tell me what you'd like to see more of!
