Welcome

Hello and welcome to my garden! I have a zone 6 garden located in south eastern Connecticut with a little bit of everything. There's a lot of it and it's still growing. Sometimes I think it might be too much and then the gardener in me comes out and says NOPE. My ultimate goal is to be able to eat my way around my yard. In addition I love what my friends affectionately called my jungle. My collection of tropicals brings the outside in and gives the place a tropical feel at times. While some of my garden is your run of the mill some isn't. Come join me on my wild adventure.

Wow Time Flies By!

So apparently this whole online thing will take some getting use to.  I can’t believe it’s already been a month and a half since I last actually put something up here.  WOW! In the meantime though there are officially only 30 days left of tax season 2011.  So far it’s been a rough season on my plants and an even rougher season in the office.  That being said there is never a dull moment and things are as lively as ever.  Now if only we could go out and play in the great sunshine that has finally decided to break free.  My garden has already started to wake up I’ve got green onions and I think saffron poking through already.  I can’t wait to get the peas and spinach into the ground this weekend.  Summer here we come.  : )

As much as I might love gardening I do not like spring.  It’s chilly, it’s wet, my dogs are mud carry pains in the butts, and I’m stuck in the office with a serious case of spring fever.  The weather is also very sporadic this time of year and you never know what you will get.  Today was 60 (and fabulous), tomorrow is supposed to get up to 70 ( I see an afternoon walk in my future) and I wouldn’t be surprised if we dive back into the 30’s any day now. 

My plants are hanging on, but I think they’re getting a case of cabin fever as well, and frankly I can’t blame them.  I have had the worse winter ever as far as bugs go.  I have no idea where they came from, or how they got to some of the plants that they are on.  Right now is always especially hard, but we’re almost through tax season, and then in a very short time they will be back outside soaking up the sun. 

So to catch up on the last month I’ll be going backwards a little bit.  Oh well live and learn and maybe I’ll start getting into a regular habit as I get my life back.
