It is that time of year again, can you believe it? It seems like it wasn't that long ago that I prepped the raised beds for winter. Geeze, time flies by so quickly sometimes. Well, it is a nice change

We have been getting a few inches of snow every few days since the New Year started. This week we got another fresh layer after the sun melted the first 4" we got earlier. After shoveling and snow-blowing

The vegetable garden is almost done for the year. I still have a few plants that will continue growing throughout the cool fall weather. However, the peppers were done and now I had to #preserve the last

The month of July with the heat and rain really gave the vegetables a huge boost in growth. The plants are quite large and put out an abundance of vegetables. I have been so busy trying to keep up with

With summer officially here, most of the annuals planted in May bloom nicely. I will share a few here for today's posting for a garden update. The Louisiana Iris opened and it did so just before the rains

This past week, many of the late-spring perennials bloomed in the gardens. Above is a red Asiatic Lily that is planted next to my pond. The first bloom opened and there is one more getting ready. It is

The #raisedgarden bed is out of control! Not only have they doubled in size or perhaps tripled in the past two weeks, but I harvested a mid-sized head of broccoli. This is the raised bed of cold-weather

It is the first week of June and the gardens already look like it is mid-summer. Everything has grown so fast that I can hardly believe what transpired in just one month. The Nasturtium hanging basket

The Dwarf Iris that I transplanted early this spring just started blooming. The other varieties have already finished and this beauty is just getting started. There is something special about this flower.

It has certainly been a busy week planting out all the vegetables from the greenhouse. The weather is finally warm enough at night so I decided it was safe to plant all the peppers. This raised bed has

This is the second year I have grown a few vegetables in the "Tower Gardens". Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical but now I am hooked and increasing the number of towers. I always start out growing

I woke up feeling down for some odd reason this morning. When I sat down to edit some photos I was attracted to the yellow flowers. I suspect the yellow vibes from the flowers are lifting my spirits today.

I couldn't be happier that the spring flowers are bursting with color. The gardens are coming alive now that the weather is warming up. I walked around my home taking photos to share all the beauty surrounding

The spinach is still growing in the first garden tower I planted in mid-February. I must admit that it seems more robust than the spinach from the grocery. Perhaps because I eat it the same day it is picked.

Now, if only the weather would cooperate with us here in western, New York. I have managed to plant all the onions, lettuce, and brassicas, and the rest of the gardens are prepared for planting. The plants

We had a lot of nice warm weather this past week, but now three solid days of rain. It was a great chance to get many gardens top-dressed with the leaf compost. The perennial flowers have already emerged,

Spring has finally arrived. The daffodils are starting to bloom and soon the gardenscape will be full of fragrant spring flowers. I am still going through my photo library on this PC. Today, I will share

Well, that is what my gardens are showing me anyway. I know we still have at least another week of cold temperatures at night, but we could see mid-to upper 40s during the day. The early spring blossoms

February has been an extremely warm month compared to past winters. With so much sunshine and warm nights, I decided to experiment with doing some hydroponic lettuce and spinach. Normally I don't put anything

All my good friends, welcome to see you again today, I hope you are always healthy. First of all, thank you to the Khisis team for the beautiful flower plants, but I will also try hard to increase my
