Plum Silly!
About this time every year, I get plum silly! I start glancing out the upstairs bathroom window to see if the plums on the plum tree are getting ripe. When Mr. Gerber’s little one-story house was next door, our plum tree, just our side of the property line, spread way over his picket fence and bore […]
Simply Sharing Seeds!
Simply Sharing Seeds! Once you join the gardening life, it’s a whole new world that opens up to you. Neighbors walking by might never have stopped to say hello, but, an edible garden in your front yard is like a magnet. Yesterday, Nancy, just such a neighbor, who lives about five blocks from me, gave […]
Lovely Buckwheat & Other Flowers
Lovely, tender buckwheat blooms! When I sprinkled a packet of buckwheat seeds onto my 6.5’x14′ flower island a month ago, I had there a transplanted Iceberg Rose, a purple daisy and 2 Mexican Feather Grass, Cosmos planted from seed in January springing up, and one dill plant emerging, which is now 5′ tall! Now, my […]

Morning Garden Findings
I decided to dig up a few more potatoes from the pot I planted March 16, in “Rainy Day in the Garden,” Episode 4 of “Late Bloomer.” The purple ones, though, looked like they had the measles! They were covered in little bumps. Did I leave them in too long? And the skin just peeled […]
Memorial Day Garden Questions!
Oh, it’s blissfully quiet on my street! Except for aircraft (jets high, coming in to LAX south of here, small planes going up and down the coast, occasional helicopters heading over the mountain), I don’t hear a thing! Not even the incessant barking of the dog at the end of the street. No drone of […]
Zucchini & Berry Harvest!
For the first-time urban gardener, like me, harvesting my first dozen zucchini is a glorious thing! So, for the one month anniversary of Earth Day and the premiere of “Late Bloomer,” I present my zucchini. I handed a green one, plus two long stems of oregano, to a passing neighbor. We ate the big yellow […]
Corn Eclipsed!
Corn Eclipsed! After working all afternoon to plant my ten new organic corn seedlings, my neighbor, C.L., came over with a welding mask so we wouldn’t miss the eclipse. It’ll be 12 more years till the next one, so thought I would take a few photos. I shot through the green glass till the sun […]
Potato Find!
Yesterday, I discovered I had grown potatoes for the first time in my life! When I noticed some of the potato shoots looking droopy, I thought I would dig down and investigate. In the episode “Rainy Day” I had planted 6 small potatoes in a pot, 3 purple, 2 golden and 1 red. I kept […]
