I blinked and Spring was gone!

Posted on July 29, 2011 at 5:30pm 1 Comment

wow. it's been several months since my last post.  That post was begging for Spring to get here. Evidently, it came and went in a month. The result has been a very, very early summer for us Texans and a long hot one to boot!

 

I had a few tomatoes. Luckily, I have the friendship pleasure of a real tomato guru who is bound to the cubicle across from me in our "corporate day jobs". He shared an assortment of heirloom tomato seeds.

 

Many changes to this…

Spring.... Where are you? I am ready!

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 1:22pm 0 Comments

I found out this fall that I am not a winter gardener. No matter how much I bundle up, nothing, not even my love of garden can pull me out of the toastiness of my small home.

 

I dream of summertime gardening...walking, barefooted around my yard, feeling the moist soil beneath my feet. It makes me feel connected to the earth. I miss the late evening light that I garden by and the radiating warmth of the soil. My wonderful friend Paige Hill,…

Hi Rachel,

GLOBAL TRANSITION IN ACTION has added your 'Growing Citrus in Central Texas' to our collection of new, clever, and higher-order ideas for re-use by other localities globally. Great idea! It's now posted to the news feeds on approximately 260 websites,including Twitter and Facebook.

You can read more about the intentions of GTIA -- http://transitioninaction.com/forum/topics/global-transition-in-action

Good luck with your event! We hope your work serves as a model for locals everywhere.

Hi Rachel!  I was talking to Debbie the other day about gardening & she told me to check out your website.  Can't wait to look into it some more & can't wait to start gardening.  I feel the same way about winter.  But then when it passes I wonder why I didn't go out there & at least cover some plants during the freeze.  Oh well!

Thanks you Rachel!

Thanks for the welcome! Tacoma is a nice place to grow...even if we are still holding our breath that the warm weather will hold for a few more days. Wild Blackberries, and a huge city-sponsored Blueberry Park... Looking forward to freezing berries, and making jam and syrup this year!

most of my experience is with a desert climate so anything other than desert based gardening would be great, if anyone has any questions for me about how to raise pretty much any plant in the desert please let me know. I have solutions for pretty much any problem caused by too much direct sun, poor dry clay or sand soil, water burns, and pest control. starting a rose and veggie garden in a rock patch will teach you a lot quickly. LOL :)
