Volunteer Flower
While checking the garden tonight, we discovered an unexpected flower growing where the ‘hakurei’ turnips and cabbage greens were planted. Those vegetables are mostly finished for the year. The remaining cabbage greens have quit producing leaves and are flowering, as … Continue reading

On Saturday (May 30th), I decided to transplant okra into garden bed number three a few hours after I finished transplanting the peppers, eggplant, and marigolds. In the past two years, I’ve planted okra seeds directly into the garden rather … Continue reading

Cabbage, Radish, & Lettuce
Although it has been cooler recently, the hot weather that we experienced earlier apparently prompted some of the cabbage family plants to produce flowers. We first noticed this problem a few weeks ago. Now, the pak choi cabbages have flower … Continue reading
Okra & Morning Glory
The okra, moonflower, and morning glory that I planted in garden bed number one are up and have their first true leaves. On Sunday (June 9th), I removed the plastic milk jugs that were protecting the three groups of okra … Continue reading
