| Let us have some lettuce! Apr 16, 2013 | ||

I haven't had much luck with spinach this year. This is odd because last year it grew much better than the lettuce but this year.....I have a good crop of lettuce to go along with bunches of radish! I am way behind posting and reading! I hope I catch up a little. | |
| Hi stranger! I haven't had very good luck with spinach for 2 years. I just seeded some today. So hopefully it will do better this year. |
| Nice variety! |
| What kind of bad bug is this? Apr 16, 2013 | |

| At least it's a pretty bad bug. I saw my first squash bug today :( |
| Ugh. I was just googling when the squash bugs should appear in Houston. If you have them, RoriTX, I bet I've had them for a while. Bt sprays and injections for every little squash plant tonight! |
| Radishes and Jalapeno Apr 01, 2013 | ||

Picked some Radishes today! We had some nice lettuce ready too. We had a couple of drops of rain, but hoping for more Tuesday! | |
| Oh, I love pickled radishes! We had some amazing pickled asparagus for Easter dinner this weekend - going to have to add that to my must-do list this spring! |

The leaves on the trees are out and so is the oak pollen. I have not felt well for a couple of days, but this afternoon feel like I am on the mend. I have given a lot of turnips away and have made a bunch of kale chips. I am not planting more places until we get some rain. The Chef is making chicken and biscuits to help... ...see more | |
| Glad you are feeling better! Happy Easter! |
| Happy to hear you are feeling better! Those biscuits are too cute! |
| No cucumbers Mar 21, 2013 | ||

Looks like I will need to try again with the cucumbers in the low field. Only about 4 seeds out of 4 rows have sprouted. I think that the weather was first too cold then too dry. Good news is that I think we have plenty of time for the cucumbers, they seem to like the heat. Several chili plants are coming back from the... ...see more | |

The broccoli is looking beautiful and still producing. Several plants are just now getting ready to produce. I did find this (photo #6) on one plant. Does this mean I should go ahead and pull out the broccoli and cabbage, because it looks like white fly to me?The Kale is still growing well and I made a bunch of Kale chips... ...see more | |
| It so weird to hear about Broccoli producing at this time of year, we can't plant ours for another week or two. Good to hear your garden is doing good. |
| 95 - wow. I know I keep wishing for warmer weather, but I don't want to see those temps quite yet! The photos of your flowers are so lovely! |

| How's the deer doing today? |
She is beautiful... It would be nice if she made it. We had friends here who found and saved a baby deer, only to have someone tell the fish and game department who quickly came and shot it and then ... more » |
How sad... Sad it died and sad that they would rather shoot it, than give it a chance to live. |






















I love the picture with the ladybug -it is my favorite.
