					<description><![CDATA[Here we are, the last garden post of the summer. This year, I can honestly say that I am ready for the fall to come, and for that big autumnal change to happen. Not only am I ready for the colder fall days ahead, but this season change signifies big change for my day-to-day world. Finn started school last week, and today is Gus&#8217; first day at his new school. Life will be different around here. I have time in my days now to begin to focus on the house, this blog, and to begin the process of figuring out how I will define myself in the future days, weeks and months as my full-time mom job winds down. I&#8217;m excited. Okay, so garden stuff. The garden is all ready for the fall, some of the hostas have begun to yellow and I can tell chilly days are right around the corner. Somewhere around the beginning of August I give up on weeding and caring too much about the routine maintenance of gardening. I set timers for the sprinklers and I mow less often, we begin to spend less and less time in the backyard and more time on the porch, as we can all sense that the summer is winding down. I had some successes this summer, and some fails. The Vanilla Strawberry peegee hydrangea tree has been a great addition to the gardens, adding height and color nearly all summer long. I was also pleasantly surprised by my rose bush, it responded well to not being cut back last fall, and as a result, is huge this year. I had a rough year with my veggie garden, and I know I&#8217;ll be reading up over the winter trying to figure strategies for gardening next year. I&#8217;m considering using plants from the nursery as opposed to sowing from seed in the spring, I&#8217;d love to hear pros and cons of this if you have experience. I have ideas of adding one more sunny vegetable bed in the spot on the side of the house where the orange day lilies are now. The day lilies burn out towards the end of the summer and I think tomatoes or peppers might benefit from the space better than the lilies. The soaker hose irrigation system sprung a leak early on and I never felt confident leaving it on a timer (in fear [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ruby Tears Crab Apple I know I&#8217;m a little late on the May Garden post, but I promise, I took these photos right at the end of the month. It actually works out really nicely that this post got pushed back because it lands on my favorite gardener&#8217;s birthday, my Ma (aka SugarMommaD)! She has instilled in me the love of gardening and nurturing schtuff, and she&#8217;s so fortunate to be able to celebrate her birthday during the most perfect and beautiful time of the gardening season. Love ya, mom! The above and below pics are of our other Ruby Tears crabapple tree (aka Gus&#8217; Tree), it flowered the second week of May, but I had to include it because it makes the backyard look super amazing. Also, I&#8217;m having trouble with &#8216;Apple Scab&#8217; on my other Spring Snow crab apple in our front yard, I guess this is common to happen after the tree flowers, and this year it was so prolific. I am treating it with a topical spray for now, and am having an arborist come to give me a consultation tomorrow &#8212; I am scared for it. &#160; Veggie Gardens &#160; Radish The veggie garden has been good this year, for the most part I like the irrigation set up. It has sprung a leak once or twice, but it&#8217;s really easy to repair. I would prefer it not to spring any leaks, though. Our timer is also kind of junky, one of the timers gets stuck, leaving the water running forever. Eventually I will be investing in a digital timer so that we can set it to water when we go on vacations n&#8217; stuff. The actual veggies are doing great, peas, radishes, carrots, potatoes and greens are thriving. Unfortch, my green beans sprouts have been obliterated by slugs, (eew). I read on the internet, that if I put beer in a pie tin the slugs would want to go drown in it, and it totally worked. There have been no signs of them since. I took a risk and planted my cuc seeds a week or two early, and when we hit a cold snap I botched the germination process, so I am a bit behind the eight ball on that front. All and all, it&#8217;s been fun, and the kids like it too. &#160; Bearded Iris My grandma gifted me a bunch of [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Guys! Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but it just turned spring here, like yesterday, and I haven&#8217;t been able to do anything except stare at small green things that are growing in my yard. It makes for very boring blog talk. However, I have been up to a few little projects that you guys might be interested in, like creating a new irrigation system for ma raised bed gardens, installing landscape lighting in my backyard, and watching some very hard working dudes build me new front steps. Patience grasshoppers. It has taken me everything in my being to come inside and write this post, but you are my internet bros, and I won&#8217;t leave you hanging. So, today I&#8217;m talking about how I&#8217;m really bad at watering my veggie gardens. In the past, I have been known to either forget to water my gardens (&#8217;cause it&#8217;s just such a pain to hook up the hose and turn the tap on), OR I&#8217;ll turn the water on and forget to turn it off, for like, days. Sorry environment. My focus for this garden season is to get a handle on watering and general give a shitness. After I sow my seeds, I kind of just let it go, and forget to weed and water. I have decided to go back to good old straight rows, instead of the square foot method (which I had been using previously). For one, I am a crazy person and I much prefer the order of rows, secondly and most importantly is that I can water the garden much more effectively if I have it planted in rows, and thirdly I hope to become a better, more efficient weeder. In the past I would just throw a soaker hose in the garden snaking it back and forth and keeping my fingers crossed that it would water a decent amount of the plants. It didn&#8217;t. With this new watering setup, I will ensure that all my plants are getting watered at the roots, and the timer will ensure that I don&#8217;t leave the hose running for days and days. Win. There are three main parts to the system; a soaker hose, a traditional garden hose, and couplers. Basically, use a scissors to snip the hose to yer desired length, this makes it super customizable, bros! There also all sorts of accessories and parts that go [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sedum I&#8217;m getting so excited that it&#8217;s almost garden time. Spring is my favorite time of year, and I am dying to get my hands dirty. I especially love that gardening is one of those things where there is always room for improvement. I couldn&#8217;t be happy if it was just done and there was nothing to do or improve upon. I&#8217;ve just ordered some soaker hose for irrigation in my raised beds. It&#8217;s not a super pro set-up but it will be more sophisticated then what I have going on now. I&#8217;m excited to see if this new system will have big effects on this seasons veggie crop. I&#8217;m also going to be trying my hand at DIY landscape lighting. Now that the gardens are becoming more mature, I think it&#8217;s the perfect time to add lighting, like real-deal grown up lighting. Don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;ll post about that too. Also, the front steps will be finally replaced this summer with new concrete steps, which in turn will effect the shape of the surrounding garden beds. Our front steps are a huge embarrassment and have been on our to-do list for years, so to get them taken care of will be a huge relief and a big improvement to the curb appeal of the house. So, things are happening, and this March garden is just the start. I can&#8217;t wait to share lots more as the season progresses. &#160; Bleeding Hearts &#160; Lamium &#160; Rose Buds &#160; Hosta &#160; Day Lilies &#160; Heuchera &#160; Allium I planted two bulbs last fall and have only seen one so far &#8211; still have my fingers crossed. &#160; Peony]]></description>
