‘91 was the summer after graduation… this is not a page from my journal even though some of the goals are the same… maybe it’s a a post-glam rock/pre-grunge thing… maybe it’s a gen-x thing… maybe i don’t want to look at the list page from my journal… maybe…
tumblarity
Awesome! Congrats on reaching the bottom. I thought you might want to stay there, so no reblogs yet.
yeah, i reached tumblarity nirvana… it reminded me of an episode of the muppets… i got the t-shirt & turned out the lights… now i just want to tumble on…
the south garden (or the pepper & tomato patch) at mid july
1 hot banana pepper plant & 1 jalapeno plant are still struggling to grow in this shady spot. the 4 bell pepper plants began to blossom. i think i may have a few spare dollars to buy additional pepper plants to fill in the empty space in the garden.
The north garden
the north garden patch, mid july: though a quarter was destoryed by a very hungry critter, there are still a variety of un harmed plants: 4 pumpkin plants, 4 winter squash plants, 4 zuchini plants, 10 canaloupe plants, 4 cuccumber plants, 10 beefsteak tomoto plants & 6 cherry tomato plants.
i’ve heard it’s not to late in these parts to replant spinach plants. anyone know if that’s true?
something thing attacked the north garden late saturday night, early sunday morning
i’m not sure if it was a raccoon or the groundhog couple that was spotted late last week.

Let the wild rumpus start!
(via 52books)
when i realized the kidlinger’s library didn’t have this book… i went out & bought it… right after dinner at frank’s pizza…
the north garden patch at the end of june: i thought for sure that storm that came through on june 18 wiped out the sweet corn, but with kidlinger help the corn survives & thrives. it’s the pea plants that seemed to have withered (but i don’t believe the storm had anything to do with it).
again, for those keeping record: 4 pumpkin plants, 4 winter squash plants, 4 zuchini plants, 10 canaloupe plants, 4 cuccumber plants, 10 beefsteak tomoto plants & 6 cherry tomato plants.
also, 1 raccoon & 1 groundhog have been sited in night sorties.
less than $100 have been spent on the gardens. no pesticides or herbicides have been used with the exception of natural, organic pesticides (like cayenne pepper, ground cinnamon & the like).
the gardening strategy handbooks used: trowel & error by sharon lovejoy & the new self-sufficient gardener by john seymour.
the south garden (or the pepper & tomato patch) at the end of june
since the loss of the spinach plants in may’s excessive rains, i’ve been trying to keep the remaining pepper & tomato plants alive.
for the record, here’s what remains in the south garden: 1 hot banana pepper plant, 1 jalapeno plant, 4 bell pepper plants, 7 red cherry tomato plants.

editing audio, studying for next week’s poetry workshop session & writing poetry book reviews at world coffee café…
what a mighty storm asheville had yesterday…
this is what happened to the corn in the garden…
The south garden patch
the south garden patch on the last day of may: since i lost almost all the spinach plants in last week’s excessive rains, i may rename the south garden the pepper & tomato patch (since that’s the only thing left). again, going with the found, native, organic gardening goal. the waddle fence boarder is from spring trimmings. the tomato plants aren’t high enough for trellis work. maybe in a couple weeks. the pine boxes to the east of the patch (your left) are recycled from and old bookshelf and are home to various herbs: basil, oregano & chives.
The north garden patch
the north garden patch on the last day of may: the goal for this year’s garden is found, native, organic gardening. the stones are from the creek. the pea poles & tomato trellis are from spring trimmings. the wood boarders are from winter deadwood. the only thing i bought was the jute & twine for the trellis work.
yes… i my new, cheap coffee press… & other morning accouterments…
The north patch
the north patch : containing corn, peas, pumpkin, tomatoes, cucumber, sugar peas, cantaloupe, zucchini & winter squash…

corn, tomato and sundry seedlings come forth
but don’t plant the corn & tomato next to each other in the garden… they are not companion plants & may harm each other’s growth if planted close together…
