Post Produce in August 2013! 22 Aug 2013 | 12:21 pm
One of more than a dozen cucumbers I’ve harvested this year. At least two dozen more are maturing on the plants, so I may be giving some away by the middle of next week. I hope this month’s Post Prod...
Kitchen Garden Bloom Day 08/2013 16 Aug 2013 | 01:54 pm
Mint has been in bloom for over a month in my small kitchen garden. This mint spontaneously appeared several years ago in a container I’d planted with thyme. The thyme has long since died, but the min...
Mistreated Onion Plants Still Make Onions! 4 Aug 2013 | 09:58 pm
One season I planted a two-foot wide row with onion sets in my garden annex (used to be the kids’ sandbox but even my youngest has lost interest in it… she’s 17). The plants started with enthusiasm an...

Early Frosty pea plants are not a variety that boasts “poor producer” on the packaging. In fact, the vines are merely two feet tall, but I harvested a gallon of pods from half of a 14-foot double row ...
Another Bloom Day in Ithaca 16 Jun 2013 | 12:43 pm
I’d love to see Cornell establish way more garden “hot spots” such as this one at a parking area along the Plantations roadway. As large as the Plantations is, most of it lacks complexity. When last I...
Good Gardeners Kill Peaches 4 Jun 2013 | 10:31 pm
Peach trees are very showy in spring. A single branch may produce dozens of blossoms. When most of them grow into fruit, you can end up with very tiny peaches. I spent about 45 minutes today in my sma...
