Heirloom tomatoes

2013-03-03T13:23:00.001-08:00

Transferred some to bigger pots and two into the ground. A little worried about one more frost. So I'm keeping the others out if harms way for a couple weeks. But if I get lucky then the two should be way ahead. Also picked up some mountain meadow mushroom compost today. Can't wait spring. Seeing my seedlings sure makes you wanna go out and buy a gallon. All that time and there one inch tall.

new better photos coming soon.

Valencia orange dwarf

2013-02-18T10:47:00.001-08:00

Well a while ago implanted a manzanita in this wine barrel. Needless to say it collapsed. So figuring some day ill move and can plant this in a yard when it's bigger I put this orange tree in. It's root ball was in a 2 quart pot so it should have room to run for a bit.

Winter harvest.

2013-02-16T12:38:00.001-08:00

Got tons of spinach. One butter crunch lettuce. Two broccoli florets. Some cilantro and green onions. All organic free if pesticides

Hoping for winter to move on

2013-02-09T09:22:00.001-08:00

Working on my seedlings. Started some great heirloom tomatoes. And various flowers that I got from seeds from www.swallowtailgardenseeds.com Here's a look on how small this garden really is

Early start for my seedlings.

2013-01-28T09:06:00.001-08:00

Starting last years heirloom tomato seeds that I saved. As well as some romas and basil. The other flat contains bee balm, echinacea, and agastache plants.

Welp. Bird feeders feeding the rats.

2013-01-23T16:00:00.001-08:00

This photo is taken in the afternoon. One cocky rat. Might hold off on bird feed for a bit

Broccoli still going

Frost hasn't killed them.

Harvesting my potatoes.

2013-01-15T12:56:00.001-08:00

It's cold and the plant is dying here in escondido. So it's time to see what's under the ground. Lots of plant. Not a lot of potatoes. Oh well

Xmas cactus.

Random flower in my carrots

2012-11-16T09:07:00.001-08:00

This grew. What is it I'm not sure. It may have come from a wild flower seed pack. Anyways any ideas let me know.

Happy fall everyone.

2012-11-02T10:29:00.001-07:00

Figured I'd let my worms have a meal. Left them to rot.

Around my food.

Best thing about San Diego living is I can basically still grow things like its spring. Here's a look into my tiny raised garden. Spinach. Butter crisp lettuce. Potatoes. Strawberries are all in here. Even random garlic and green onions.

Wow great folks with great eggs

2012-10-26T10:37:00.001-07:00

Got these great looking eggs from some friends with chickens today. Nothing better then fresh local eggs. Now to make some cookies.

Potatoes really moving

2012-10-24T08:21:00.001-07:00

Growing fast. Trying to use my worm compost to build them up. Spring is looking delicious around my back yard. Bell peppers,apples, grapes, strawberries now.

Can't wait foods a flourishing.

Did a little plant instant gratification

2012-10-23T15:49:00.001-07:00

I've been trying to start spinach and lettuce from seed for about two months. Today splurged for spinach strawberries and lettuce. By splurge I mean 7 bucks. But I love it.

Around my 30 ft.
