Home garden

Red Empress Nasturtiums started from seed this spring. The leaves are very tiny. I will try to plant some in the ground this time, instead of in pots, to see how they grow.
All Blue potato flower!

Frederick the Frog! (or toad)

Makena's Children garden.

The peas, wildfire lettuce mix, carrots. A volunteer potato also sprouted from last year's crop.

Red Romaine. Looks almost fake doesn't it?


Garlic, Cucumbers, Potatoes, lettuce, sage, cilantro (and some seeded from last year), tansy, basil.

Sage flower

I have decided to only buy grass fed beef. I grow all of my own lettuce in the summer. My garlic is looking great. The peas have grown big also. I have a new friend this year. It is a frog that lives in Makena's veggie garden. I hope he eats all the slugs. Speaking of slugs, I tried slug nematodes this year. So far, they have really cut down on the number of slugs in my slug infested yard. There are still some, but much less. I also use sluggo, the iron pellets. They work wonderfully.
