Gardening

Tammy and I started urban gardening a couple of three years ago or so, found it to be too much fun! We'll use these pages to chronicle our adventures in that area, should be fun! Let's start with a photo gallery right here! No better way to talk gardening than with pictures!

  • Boosha, one of our cats of course, likes to play "Bat Signal" now and again... he's quite good at it.
  • And this would be Booger sitting by the pond in the back yard... the name is well deserved!
  • Booger taking a nap and I'm busted ... stop taking pictures!
  • Compost bin I built out back ... I'll track down the plans and put them out here on the site.
  • Corn of course... any plant that gets taller than me is impressive!
  • Our patio spider from a few years back getting some dinner!
  • Got into growing begonia's and now we just can't get enough!
  • Pumpkins, we just grow them because they are too fun!
  • We grew some cantaloupe just for the fun of it ... they were so GOOD! Now we always put some of these guys in the ground!
  • Potatoes in the foreground with corn behind... our two garden mainstays.
  • Nicotania and Blanket flowers along the backside of the house... Nicotania have a light perfume scent that is gives off in the evening. Blanket flowers are just pretty! Really attract the bees, you see quite a few bee photos around here and it's mostly on these flowers.
  • Just another garden spider ... We stay as organic as possible, thus we end up with plenty of bugs. Most are beneficial so no worries.
  • Bees, plenty of bees!
  • Booger & Boosha found a shady spot under the table one hot summer day...
  • It was 100+ on this day, hard to find a cool place...!
  • Sometimes you just have to lay in the dirt, with a concrete pillow...
  • Most every year we get a batch of lady beetles and release them in the garden. It's just too fun!
  • More of the lady beetle release... it's like the keystone cops, really too fun to do this!
  • Lady bugs on the sunflower ... love the sunflowers!
  • Caught a nice fly-by of the bees to a sunflower...
  • One of my favorite begonia's... the little muppet is baby Gonzo I think. We find all sorts of toys in the course of digging our various gardens and beds.
  • More spiders ... this is a small crab spider I think... with a fly for dinner!
  • Another shot that came out nice...
  • Just toasting to another fine crop of corn!
  • And then there are the potatoes! We grow Yukon Gold as they are just too good!
  • A shot of the velvet queen sunflowers ... lovely plants.
  • What can I say, another begonia! Great variety, with long lasting beautiful blooms. Gotta love 'em!
