From My Garden to You

Hello Fellow Gardeners, I have been busy this last couple of months making a new gardening video. Water Wise Fall Desert Vegetable Gardening Check it out and let me know what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8OKhMSvb94&feature=youtu.be   Happy Gardening !!

August update from the garden - Black Eyed Peas are ready !! If you remember, I planted my Black Eyed Peas at the end of May. Well, they not only survived the summer but have been growing so rapidly that I am now having to cut them back just so I can get along the pathways. It's a jungle out there in my garden at the moment !!   They are now producing pods like crazy, which is fantastic. I am growing them for the dried "peas" and if you also remember, the variety I am growing is an Heirloom - Bisbee Red, bought from Native Seed Search based in Tucson. http://www.nativeseeds.org/ For how to grow Black Eyed Peas, please refer to my earlier post form June 2017.   Anyway, here are the pods in all their glory.       Note smaller green pod in background, with larger "mature" dried pod in foreground.   Harvested dried pods.     Bisbee Black Eyed Peas     Some will be saved for next year'...

New Blog information   Hello blog readers, Some new information for you. As many of you will have ready, this blog is only a few months old, so not without the occasional hiccup ! Anyway, I have discovered that my followers are not getting an email when I post anything new, which is what is supposed to happen. So.....after consulting tech support ( my daughter), this problem has hopefully been rectified. Here's what you have to do -   There should now be an option for people to follow me by email, but you must click on a link to sign up. Just click the search at the top (the little magnifying glass) and you will get the option to sign up for email as well. That way when I post anything new, you will get an email notification of the new posts.   Hope this works for everyone. And as always, Happy Gardening !!   (picture above is a new watercolor of mine - an Agave)
