Thanks, Momma_S. I was trying to get photos in the dark last night, but I couldn't see what I was doing! So I decided to set the camera right down in the garden and see what happened...I liked them!
Thanks, Dan. I decided not to harvest any leaves this week, but let them grow a bit more.
******** Thomas, as I was photographing them last night, the oddest looking (big) fly crawled lazily out of one of the spinach plants. I don't think it was one that begets leaf miners (I had tiny flies in the house from the tomatoes), but I sure didn't like the looks of him. I hope miners don't get to my lovely, pristine greens.
You make me want to be a bug.:) I just read Stefaneeners last post and saw that she mentioned your carrot planting method so I stopped by and looked it up. How neat! You are so smart, what an excellent way to plant little seeds, I may have to try that. This is why I like this whole blogging thing, so many fascinating people with such interesting ideas...I learn something new every day.
The link leads to the very beginning of the mini-garden. I later added a small bed of carrots, beets and spinach. I am most impressed with the way the carrots grow from these seed mats. Germination has been excellent (in hot or windy weather I do cover them with a board until germination takes place). If I want baby carrots, I glue the seeds 1" apart in all directions, and pull every other one. For my main crop I glue them 2" apart, and there is no thinning (or waste) at all!
Noelle, surprisingly the carrots have been one of the easier veggies for me to grow here in AZ. They are, however terribly slow to mature. I'm sure I'll be leaving these for my neighbors to eat after we head back to WA.
Sweet! If only I could be a bug in your garden for a day... I'm sure I would be thrilled with such beauty and abundance. Thank you for sharing these shots, Granny. :)
Kalena Michele, I have to enjoy this while I can, as I won't be planting my Washington lettuce until March 28th. Unless I get itchy fingers and sow some indoors ;-)
I'm just not going to call you The Idiot Gardener. It's not that it makes me feel a bit rude, although it does, but it's more because that's too much to type before I've had my first cup of coffee! From now on, I hope you don't mind if I call you TIG. TIG, those are beets in the first photo. I am one of the few people on earth who has never grown, nor eaten, chard.

If I were a but, your plants would be looking pretty tasty right now.
ReplyDeleteClever post, and beautiful pics!
ReplyDeleteDaphne, you could never be a but. Oh, you meant bug.
ReplyDeleteHa-ha-ha-ha
Thanks, Momma_S. I was trying to get photos in the dark last night, but I couldn't see what I was doing! So I decided to set the camera right down in the garden and see what happened...I liked them!
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to wave my antennae around.
ReplyDeleteStefaneener, just be careful. You're antennae might run into Daphne's but! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis post is cracking me up :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!
Nice shots, I'm a sucker for beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThis bug needs to fly to Arizona.
ReplyDeleteRachel, blame Daphne and Stefaneener...they started it ;-)
ReplyDelete********
Mac, me too. I haven't had much to photograph this winter. we used to do a lot of desert runs, but we ended up just staying put this winter.
********
Fly on in, The Mom! Although my Arizona pickin's are rather slim and hard to come by.
They all look so good!
ReplyDeleteWow Gran, your greens look perfectly healthy without a blemish on them! I guess the bugs haven't been bothering your garden lately.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dan. I decided not to harvest any leaves this week, but let them grow a bit more.

My, my. Don't you have a nice winter garden. I am a bit envious of you right now!

ReplyDeleteZach, it's really a tiny garden. It is nice to have a salad or two each week, though.

Mr. H., all the seeds in this AZ mini-garden were glued onto strips of toilet tissue!

Your lucky I am NOT a bug (or but, or butt?!) as I would be chomping on those lucious looking greens!
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe I am a butt sometimes! LOL! ;D
Kitsap, you're never a but or a butt, and you can chomp my garden any day! Just watch out for Stefaneener's antennae ;-)
ReplyDeleteAll of your lettuce looks just delicious and the carrots....I just love carrots. I have not had much success growing them.
ReplyDeleteNoelle, surprisingly the carrots have been one of the easier veggies for me to grow here in AZ. They are, however terribly slow to mature. I'm sure I'll be leaving these for my neighbors to eat after we head back to WA.
ReplyDeleteSweet! If only I could be a bug in your garden for a day... I'm sure I would be thrilled with such beauty and abundance. Thank you for sharing these shots, Granny. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Meredith. I'm getting a lot of bugs wanting to visit my garden!
ReplyDeleteAch! I can't believe I've missed out on the "but" jokes. Too late now, I suppose, but I bet those bugs were "doin' the 'but'. Awwww sexy, sexy."
ReplyDeleteIt was a song, Granny. I swear it was a song....Yes, Ma'am. I'll go to my room now.
Ribbit! Shame on you! (hee-hee)
ReplyDeleteThat's so awesome :) Look at that lettuce! I just planted my lettuce seeds today.
ReplyDeleteKalena Michele, I have to enjoy this while I can, as I won't be planting my Washington lettuce until March 28th. Unless I get itchy fingers and sow some indoors ;-)
ReplyDeleteI must say that first picture of the chard (is it chard?) did make me a little peckish!
