Veggie Seedlings Up Close & Personal

I imagine this is what my cabbage, lettuce, mustard, kohlrabi and beet seedlings would look like to ant.

2012 Garden Goals/Resolutions

Wow. It’s been a long time since I posted something. I guess my first goal for 2012 should be that I write more often. Anyway, here are my gardening goals for the upcoming year. Keep in mind that my garden is hibernating for winter — so don’t judge!!

1. Post more often. 

I’m Loving Renee’s Garden Babies Butterhead Lettuce!

Garden Baby Butterhead Lettuce & Horseradish Root

With a name like Garden Babies Butterhead Lettuce, how could I not love it!  Not only do I love the way it looks, but it’s tasty too. It adds a nice contrast to the mesclun lettuce we typically grow. And we love our fresh salads in the summer. We’re growing these beauties in pots on our patio.

My Garden Tour Recap – Slideshow

Since most of you didn’t make it to my garden tour on Saturday, I thought I’d post a little slideshow of the garden. Travis told me I better take pictures because the garden will never look this good again (I doubt that).

2011 SeedGROW Project Kicks-Off Today

There’s no better way to start the gardening season than listening to Renee Shepherd talk about seeds. She is, after-all, the face/name behind Renee’s Garden Seeds. I was fortunate that she made her way up north to our small-town nursery a couple weeks ago. She gave a very inspirational talk on using herbs for cooking, oils, vinegars and gifts. I was so inspired, I purchased her new cookbook (she has two). I can’t wait to make some of her basil vinegars.
