Greta's Garden: October 2006
http://gretasgarden.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 18, 2006. Oct 18 - Picking out bulbs. This is the time of year I envision the bright yellows, purples, pinks and blues of the first peek of spring. You know the look. Popping through a layer of freshly fallen springtime snow you see a little crocus poking it's pretty face out to announce warm weather is on the way. She enjoys working with oil, watercolor and pastel. I treasure those times. Posted by About Greta at Wednesday, October 18, 2006. Links to this post. View my complete profile.

Greta's Garden: July 2006
http://gretasgarden.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 26, 2006. July 26 - Mortgage Lifters. I've never planted Mortgage Lifters before. They have a little unusual color, being a little darker on top than others. But by golly, these things are huge! And there are twice this many in the garden needing to be picked. Guess I'll do some canning later on today. My yellow tomators are doing well, too. The picture with the plants shows the yellow ones in the foreground and the morgage lifeters in the back. Links to this post. Saturday, July 22, 2006.

Monday, June 16, 2008. Should have a good garden in '08. I see by the analytics that a lot of people have been viewing my blog. Sorry you got here and it was out of date. Happens. (But I do have others that are current.). I thought I'd share with you what happens during 2nd quarter - that's my busiest season with lots of festivals and events. I'm even teaching a tourism class this month. Enjoy the photos. Check out the bee. Posted by About Greta at Monday, June 16, 2008. Links to this post. When Greta mo...

Tuesday, March 28, 2006. March 28 - We have germination! Two days after sowing seeds, I'm pleased to announce the Romas are germinating! Posted by About Greta at Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Links to this post. Sunday, March 19, 2006. March 18 - Getting ready! Garden, and most of the yard, is covered in chickweed. It's gotta go! I'll take care of that with a little spraying. Have a formula that I spray over the grass. Kills the weeds, but not the grass. Oh, spring is finally here! Links to this post. From th...

Greta's Garden: April 2006
http://gretasgarden.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 23, 2006. April 23 - Everything's coming up ROSES! The secret, roses experts tell me, is to keep your roses fed and watered. Maybe I'll be better at that this year. My roses can only hope. The tomatoes we planted on March 14 have buds just waiting to pop open. Two days of steady, soaking rain helped everything - including pollen-clogged noses. Callie Baby, my short hair Calico has been checking on the 'maters. To learn about his songs. Maybe I should play the opera version for my plants!

Greta's Garden: September 2007
http://gretasgarden.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 13, 2007. Sept 2007 - No Rain, No Garden - Not Even Healthy Weeds. Well, all I can say is that the drought of 2007 overtook the garden. Oh, it looks like crap. So - I'm waiting on rain still. I doubt I'll even try for a fall garden or to plant grass again. Perhaps I'll simply cover it all with black plastic. That seems to control weeds and things. I could paint a picture on the plastic so I wouldn't have to ever water again. In the meantime, I'll. Links to this post.

Monday, June 26, 2006. June 26 - Red tomatoes, green melons, brown grass. Joel beat me to it. Here are two of the three tomatoes he picked today. I'm concerned that one, despite putting nearly a quart of lime in the dirt with each plant, has blossom end rot. Well, I'll fix that with some more lime! The cantelope are continuing to grow and the plums are starting to ripen. Wish I could say the same for the front yard. I'm starting from square one. Posted by About Greta at Monday, June 26, 2006.

Monday, May 29, 2006. May 29 - Memorial Day - Tomatoes and Roses. Thought I'd share with you the size of two of my tomato plants. They're huge. They far surpass the neighbors' who have only once, in eleven years, had fruit on the plant before me. You guessed it. We do have a little rivalry going. Then there are those that haven't made it to the garden to be planted yet . While at the Fayetteville Rose Garden,. I met the rose expert who said roses like to be fed, watered and groomed. He said roses nee...
