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 [...] Wow, what a difference in the garden since my last entry of 3 weeks ago. The garden has really taken off, especially the warm season veggies. I started harvesting broccoli on June 6th (YUM!!), which is at least several weeks earlier than normal. The cabbage loopers/worms have returned, so I have started spraying with bt. [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] Happy Belated New Year!! Winter has really set in now in the garden. As I am writing this post, it is 17 degrees outside with snow flurries coming down. It has been REALLY cold here in Central Indiana since Christmas day. The 2009 gardening season was quite successful for me. I tried several new things in the [...] All of the onions were harvested yesterday and one of the potato raised beds were also harvested. The potato harvest from this new 20 inch high and 4 ft square plot was pretty good (see pics below). The nine Yukon Gold seed potatoes planted in this plot yielded nearly a full old beer box. One of [...] The garden this time of year grows very fast. The weather has been relatively warm and it rained nearly an inch a few days ago. This spring has been very wet, but all that means is that I have not had to water much. Despite the wet conditions, all plants seem to be growing well. I [...] Sorry for the long time between posts. I have been busily planting and harvesting my garden since my last post. The garden is fully planted and is looking pretty good for this time of year. The only real issue I have had is poor germination on my green beans. I suspect it was caused by [...] |
