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.

Moral Victories

I have never successfully grown corn on my own before. This is the extent of my corn harvest for the year. The corn is nice sized and edible. Since there were only five stalks and one got taken out by hail, I think we can call this successful. I'll put another picture up when I shuck it all.

The John Deere Tech

Ken came up yesterday to work on the the 170's brakes. He got to the point of figuring out that they are really messed up. Hopefully cogitation and computer postings will shed some light on the braking issue.

Thunder Cracking Around the Place

We are having some serious thunder and lightening and joking rain. Last Thursday we got some serious rain and hail. Not much damage, but we did lose some corn. The tomatoes are doing decently despite a blight going around. Two thirds of them are surviving until they get on the plate.

First To Bite the Dust

Pulled up the zucchini today. They were not maturing and rotting on the vine. The last bloom I saw was about a week ago. Til next year on the zucchinis. No relish this time. At least we had some bread.
