My Autistic Son & His Pumpkin Patch

My son, Luke, will be a big hit TV personality!

My Autistic Son & His Pumpkin Patch

You see, Luke loves to garden. Luke has also been watching his daddy do gardening video for a YouTube channel for a while now. This time Luke wanted in on the action for real! He wanted to plant pumpkin seeds, but at the same time he made it clear that he wanted to have a video of it. I’m very excited to watch Luke express himself on camera because in some ways he connects very well with the camera in ways that he can’t with a live audience.

Giving Strawberries Shade: Recycled Materials

Giving Strawberries Shade: Recycled Materials

Summer heat is coming fast! This Strawberry bed was the ideal location in my garden because it gets the most afternoon/evening sun of all my garden beds! Well… when I planted it I didn’t know any better. Someday I’ll move my Strawberries somewhere else but for now they are right where they are.

We still haven’t planted any Squash… what were we thinking?  Anyway here are some photos from over the past couple weeks. Continue reading How is the Garden Growing? – June 2014

Did I Make My Peach Tree Produce More Fruit by Accident?

Did I Make My Peach Tree Produce More Fruit by Accident?Early this season when I was up in the orchard just observing my trees (I like to do that), I noticed something
a little weird.

I have this little Peach tree that has two main trunks. One side is producing leaves and very few flowers and the other side is producing loads of flowers and very few leaves.  Both branches, or trunks, are above the graft so there isn’t any chance of it acting like two different trees.

Do Pill Bugs Eat Young Plants? The Great Debate!

Do Pill Bugs Eat Young Plants? The Great Debate!
The evidence is all around me. Pill Bugs eat more than just decaying matter.

You know we plant our seeds, we tend to the young seedlings then we take that huge leap of faith by planting the young plants in the garden. Now, I admit… I make mistakes. Many times the failure of my plants is clearly my fault. This time I may still be at fault, but it will be because I’m providing beautiful habitat for legions of Pill Bugs!
