Finally, frost!

16 Oct 20087 Oct 2008 by Mike (tfb)

Overnight, the first real killing frost finally hit. A couple of nights it had gotten close, touching some plants in the field, but this was the real deal. At 8am, the lower end of the garden was still in the … Read the rest

Flowers galore

20 Aug 200813 Aug 2008 by Mike (tfb)

The flower sections have pretty well taken off over the last month, with the several beds of zinnias (above, directly below) offering up the biggest splash of color. We’re not harvesting the flowers, this season is a trial run, but … Read the rest

Zinnias, calendula and cosmos, randomly selected, snipped short and stuck in a coffee mug… Who can resist? There’s more time in September days to…contemplate, begin going over what worked out and what didn’t during the year. Like, flowers. I dunno … Read the rest

Sunflowers, cut flowers…

27 Sep 200725 Aug 2007 by Mike (tfb)

From flowers on my my mind back in the planning days of April, the results have been no better than middling. Germination was fine for all the many varieties, and we’ve had a sprinkling of gypsophilia, calendula, zinnias, cosmos and … Read the rest
