The Plants Looked Like They Needed Water

Angry Gardner — Fri, 16 May 2008 23:04:02 +0000

I have just planted my garden. Now if I can keep the dog and the 5 year old from killing it. The dog likes to dig in the new dirt it is soft and warm so she thinks that it is her new bed. Then today Logan looked at the plants and figured they needed water so he turned the hose on full blast and sprayed them down. It pretty much dug up the whole [...]

Dig a Hole, Fill It Up

Angry Gardner — Sun, 11 May 2008 00:42:41 +0000

Planted the lilac bush and the peach tree today. I don’t want to overstate things, but at least with concrete you can use a sledgehammer. The clay in west side of the Salt Lake valley is horrible. So it takes forever to dig the hole and then you just turn around and fill the dang thing up again. I also planted the salsa patch 12 roma, 4 habbies, 2 grape tomatoes, [...]

Salsa Patch

Angry Gardner — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 15:51:02 +0000

This year all I plan on planting is a Salsa Patch. I have made grow boxes that I have filled with “Mels Mix” and only planting things that go in salsa, habaneros, jalapeño roma tomatoes onions and garlic. It should be an interesting experiment. I am going to start adding pictures to the blog, that whole 1000 word thing. So here are the first this is making the mix and filling [...]

Started My Plants

I started my plants in the incubator tonight. I have planted a bundle of Roma tomatoes, Habbies (Habeneros), and Japlenos. I also started quite a few basil and thyme plants. The other project that I am in the middle of is my grow boxes. I built 3 8X4X.5 foot boxes for my pepper and tomato patch.

First Red Tomatoes

Well they had blossom end rot and looked like crap, but they were red and inedible. More should be on the way. Which is better than last year. Lots of green one on the roma, blossoms on the cherry, and nothing on the brandywine.

Tired

Angry Gardner — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 22:39:51 +0000

Yesterday was exhausting. I woke up early so that I could put on 2,4,D, onto the lawn. I got the front lawn done and was going to do the back but figured with the temperature hitting 80 it would be a bad idea. I was right we spent all day in the back. The kids ran though the sprinklers, and Christy and I did basic yard stuff. I planted [...]

Hardening The Plants

Angry Gardner — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 22:30:02 +0000

Today I put the plants out to harden them so that we can plant them on Saturday (hopefully.

I also turned on the sprinklers for the lawn.

Every once and awhile I have a job with a home improvement company. They have a small network and need help with it on occasion. I have been wanting to buy the family Crocs ever since Marcus let me try his on. They will [...]

WOW That Was Fast

Angry Gardner — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 22:17:35 +0000

I was talking with Christy today about the seeds that I planted before I left, and she told me that all of them had sprouted and that some were already hitting the cover. I did not expect that until I had gotten home. I hope that this does not make them to stringy and unusable.

Class is going well today we start back on to unknown territory for me so I will have to get back [...]

Indecision

Man I hate it!! I spent all last week planning my trip to Home Depot. I was going to pick up my lumber for the remainder of the fence, the downstairs bathroom, and the garden boxes. When I get there, and start to wiffle, yes that is waffle with an “i”. Just call me John Kerry. So when all is said and done the best I can say that all I did was waste two [...]
