New Year

Friday, February 4th, 2011

Hey guys,

Just a quick note to say, the new planting season is upon us. I’ll begin posting again and sharing my brand new garden apartment with you.

SPOILER ALERT: we are in a drastically different climate now.

Growth spurt!

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Wow, the hot weather really slammed us this week. March ended with unseasonably warm days in the upper 60s and lower 70s, then April showed up and WHAM! We hit 93 the first week.

This past week has definitely been beneficial for my sun-lovers, let me tell you. We went from this delicate-veined zucchini unfolding…

…to this brawny, raucous crew in just seven days.

Zucchini seedlings

*tear* They grow up so fast!

But seriously though, it has been a whirlwind. Even the sugar snap peas, a cool-weather crop if ever there was one, has benefited from the influx of hot, sunny weather. They’ve been doing some serious chorophylling.

This is the biggest, already at eight inches tall.

Pea tendrils

Is there ANYTHING more adorably curly and optimistic than pea tendrils?
