We live in zone 6a and I have been gardening and cooking for years. This blog is an opportunity for me to share with you my success and those failures that come about on occasion. Plus, I want to hear from all the gardeners and bakers and cooks out there and learn from you. Feel free to share your ideas.

P. Allen Smith

I just came back from the Cincy Flower Show and heard P.Allen Smith speak. His presentation exceded my expectation. He is entertaining and informative . Plus the weather was perfect for a day on the river for this event and the luncheon was delicious. We received a goody bag and the  event did a wonderful job with the tent décor. It was a lovely garden party.

Seedlings and More

I started my basil, sweet pea, and butternut squash seeds indoors several weeks ago. They are doing well and I will probably start to get them acclimated to the outdoors soon. Cleanup has begun in my raised beds and cabbages and lettuce planted earlier are doing well. Even the rhubarb is starting to pop up.

With have had a massive amount of rain over the past couple of weeks which has made weeding easy but muddy. Wish we could give California some of our rain. They need it badly.

The grass of course is as green as can be.
