It is now official, Indianapolis had the driest August on record, with only 0.37 inches of rain recorded. While some areas around the city had more rain, my garden did not. Needless to say, it is dessert dry. The temperatures have also been very hot, with many 90 plus degrees days recorded. Only within the [...]

Happy Independence Day!! While we enjoy our cookouts and fireworks today, please remember that freedom is not free. Take a moment to pray for all of our active duty military personnel and our veterans and make sure to thank them for their service. The onions were pulled up this morning and are now drying over hardware [...] The mid-May garden is doing well and you can almost see daily growth from the plants. Generally, the garden seems to be slightly ahead of a normal year. The lettuce is growing very well and harvest continues about 3 times a week. Harvest will start soon on more green onions and a few radishes. The weather [...] I finished transplanting cabbage, broccoli, and brussels sprout seedlings out into the garden between April 20-23. The spring lettuce is growing really well and harvest will probably start within the week (see pic below). It has been a really good spring so far for growing lettuce. The weather has been unseasonably warm and dry for [...] The weather here in Central Indiana so far this spring has been fabulous. The temperatures have been in the 70’s and 80’s over the past 5 days or so with dry conditions. The red bud trees are now in full bloom. It is quite a bit cooler today, with a frost/freeze expected tonight. With all [...] The spring seed starting is going full out right now. All of the seeds for lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, celery, and fennel have germinated and are now in the cold frame. The seeds I saved from the Sierra lettuce last year germinated really well for me (I guess that was a successful experiment!). I [...] I started 72 lettuce plants on February 28th. Most of them have germinated and were moved to the cold frame. On March 7th, I started 18 broccoli, 12 cabbage, 12 brussels sprouts, 12 celery, and 6 fennel plants. I will be planting pepper seeds in about another week. The weather has been nearly perfect the [...] My cold frame was put up over a small portion of one of the garden beds last Sunday, February 20th. I plan on starting some lettuce seeds in 2 more days, depending on the weather. If the weather forecast continues to look very cold into the latter part of next week, I might hold off [...] Harvest has now officially ended for the 2009 garden season. Surprisingly, a few of the brussels sprouts that remained on the plants were still harvestable on December 14th, despite the very cold temperatures that were experienced the few weeks prior. The remaining older sprouts that remain on the lower portion of the plants will not be [...] Well, the warm November weather is now but a memory as the first hard freeze hit the garden about 4 days ago. Low temperatures dropped to around 15 degrees for two nights in a row and the high temperatures struggled to get above freezing. This morning, the garden was blanketed by the season’s first measurable snowfall [...] |
