Take a video tour of our Humble Garden
On July - 27 - 2007
We, ok, I have spent quite a few hours filming (on my laptop so sorry if its sketchy), editing, configuring and posting our first video podcast!
Commence applause now. (Just kidding!)
Let me know what you think and if you have any problems viewing this.

High-rise gardening
On July - 19 - 2007
(Green and lemon cucumbers rising to the occasion)
Because we grow in raised beds and also because we are trying to grow a bit of pasture and run space for the kids, I am growing our vine crops skyward to keep them off the ground. I have read that this encourages higher production and better fruits/veggies because they do not mold on the ground.

What it means in a practical sense is that I am doing bonsai veggies.

Woolly Aphids, lady bugs, and hymenoptera musings
On July - 15 - 2007
We have been very lucky to have few aphid problems. I have found aphid mommas surrounded by many aphid babies on the undersides of my tomatillo plants but I kill them right away (by hand, right on the leaf so their little juices, in my theory of things, might be attractive to predators). I check the tomatillos every day and kill these colonies every few days (as in, I don’t find them every day).
Yesterday I found a woolly aphid on the poor tomatillo and shot it with the 100mm macro lens.
These bugs leave a woolly residue on stems.
