I started this blog to record my experiments/adventures in the land of urban agriculture. It is growing into a garden consutation business. I will be happy to advise, plan, install and maintain (or any combination thereof) a garden for you.

Pumpkin versus the Creepers

I know I put the pumpkins in a less than ideal place, but they seem to be surviving with a little help from me. I don't even know what kind of soil it's in. That's what ya call promiscuous punkin planting.

This Means Waaar!!!

Found this nasty bugger on one of my 'maters. All I got to say about his disposition is that his innards are fluorescent green. Just saying.

Punkins

Did I tell ya I put a couple of pumpkins in. Well, I did and they are growing nicely. I put them in a sketchy spot, but I've about got them big enough to hold their own against most of the weeds near by.

A Constant Source of Water

The air conditioner condensate pump is working properly once again. It was just clogged. With the nights we are having recently I'm collecting about a half barrel a night. When it rains again I'll empty the barrel and see how long it takes to fill up. It can't hold a candle to roof run off from gutters but it does a decent job for what I've got going right now.

First Fruits of the Season

Got these in last week and there are more coming. The zucchini have about four or five ready to go in the next few days. The corn has tasseled and there 4-5 cobs with silk on them. There are a bunch of 'maters just waiting to turn.

Look At The Size of That Poke Salad

Yeah, and that's not all of it either. That's all I got out today while everyone was napping.

The Cobs are Coming, the Cobs are Coming

Kinda happy to see those little guys sitting there. I'll be ecstatic when we pull and eat full grown cobs off those corn stalks.
