Little Bytes: Beans
Today we are going to plant beans in the lettuce pot. Jen's lettuce and spinach did really well but now they are tall and straggly. The leaves no longer are mild and sweet but are starting to get bitter. We pulled them out and broke up the soil to prepare it for...
4th of July Garden
As many of you know I just moved into a new house. It is wonderful with acres of grass (read between the lines --no garden beds). Before I left my old house I had already planted a vegetable garden. The email yesterday from the new owners said "thank you for the...
Plant ID Books
Welcome back and happy Independence Day! This week we've been talking about how to identify the trees and plants around your home/property/neighborhood. On Wednesday we talked about some free mobile apps, if you missed that post you can read it HERE, and today we...
Plant ID Apps
With Plantswoman's office move I got to thinking about new homes and what to do about the gardens you inherit. Depending on what time of year you move it can be difficult to identify what is in your new garden or on your new property. So, I set out to see what I...
Beautiful Places, Greener Spaces and Water
Finally the dust is beginning to settle from our move earlier this June. What I am now affectionately calling the beach shack is starting to look like home. It is hard to grasp that every inch of this house needs some sort of work. Every appliance, most electrical,...

Community Garden: Peterson
Today we get to take a tour through the Peterson community garden and I'd like to introduce you to Megan, Zach, Karrie and Caleb (if I can get them all there at the same time I'll post a picture). They heard about the Peterson garden around the same time and decided...
Invisible Lettuce
Introducing a new variety of lettuce!!! It's invisible! Or maybe just not there... (sigh) Certainly not for lack of trying though! You can check out my post on planting our lettuce HERE, we really did plant seeds, they just didn't come up. We planted the pot and...
Community Garden: Albany Park Update
With summer rapidly approaching and the weather warming I thought I’d give you an update on our local community garden (if you missed our first post on this you can read it HERE). I’ve been seeing a lot of photos on Facebook and Instagram showing what folks in the...
A Tale of Two Pots…
Hello friends and happy June!!! I know, I'm a little late to the June party, it just goes to show how fast the month is flying by. Now that we are about half way through June it's time to go back and visit some of our planting projects from the spring. As you may...
