Window Box Setup and Dirt
This week, I set up the window box in Socorro. It has six sugar daddy sweet peas planted in it, each in individual jiffy pots, so we’ll see how they do. My plan is to use these to get the … Continue reading

Watering
My garden is pretty well dead. I may have a few cabbages hanging on, but that’s about it. I did take some water out for my junipers, fruit trees, and cabbage, as it has been really dry here. Just north … Continue reading

Wrong Timer
This week, my tomatillos have slowed down a little and aren’t quite producing as much as they were the week before. Even so, I still have a few. I run them through my food processor and pour the contents into … Continue reading

Planting Seeds and Asparagus
Yesterday, I got started on my planting. We have a cold spell coming, so I only planted seeds in seed starters and window boxes. I planted one window box full of yellow wax beans, and one full of early golden … Continue reading

Grapes!
This week, I cut some asparagus, but the big winner was the grapes! My red grapes are just starting to ripen and so I have been eating them in bulk. The quail and the squirrels are getting a few of … Continue reading →
