    * where 'hole' = yet another raised bed for our #KitchenGarden

    Husband and I always joke that when the news of the world is scary and depressing, we deal with it by creating yet another raised bed and growing more vegetables. And since the orange shit goblin and his ilk might be around for at least another few years then we've def got plans for a few more beds.

    Yes I took this picture at 9 in the evening, cause thats when we finished it. And the metal re-bar is to keep the local cats off cause then its not so easy to use as a giant litterbox.

  2. To improve the quality of Vegetable Gardening teaching content, and instead of asking for free support, I am choosing to offer value first!

    Event Details

    "Calling all seed harvesters and kitchen gardeners! Join us at the #RivertonBranch for our first annual Kitchen Garden Seed Swap. Arrive with any labeled* seeds you'd like to share with your fellow gardeners and leave with what others bring to share. Come for the seeds, stay for the conversation (which we hope will be full of neighbor-to-neighbor tips for beginners and advanced gardeners and seed harvesters alike)!

    *Please feel free to drop by the Riverton Branch any time we're open to pick up empty seed packets to fill with your own seeds before bringing them to the swap. If you use your own packets, please make sure to include the following information:

    - Seed Type
    - Date Collected
    - Growing Notes (optional)
    - Your name or initials (optional)

    Also welcome at the swap are any seed-starting or gardening supplies in good condition that you would like to re-home. Any items left over at the end of the swap will be considered for our #LibraryOfThings or donated.

    Leftover seeds will be used to seed our new Riverton Branch Seed Library."

  6. First time I harvested a handful of small olives of our small potted Mission Olive tree. First curing experiment, now marinating with garlic, rosemary, lemon peel and chili. It's a small jar, but the tree will grow.

    Simple yes, but it's not how I grow my garden. I Interplant, with intensive, offset spacing and in successions, I don't plant in squarefoot or rows. Not many garden apps can do that. And all take so much adjustments. Too much work. If you have to work more on tweaking the app than #gardening You are better off using paper and pencil.

  8. We eat what we grow and grow what we eat!
    It's feels wonderful when you can get some of your grown crops or vegetables

  9. I have wanted to try winter-seeding of my onions for such a long time but always got to busy to remember doing it. Then it was too late. Until now. I have been getting local honey from Glorybee in Eugene, OR that comes in the perfect sized sturdy jugs. I cut them close to the middle leaving the backside attached with a front wire loop and hook closure. Drill some holes into the bottom for drainage, ready to go. I seeded those mid January. I see how it goes.

  10. Another kitchen garden idea!
    Along the fence of your kitchen garden, plant passion fruits they grow while spreading along the poles which were planted to give them support in order to grow well . Thank me later 😄

  11. This managu is so fresh and purely organic it almost looks like it knows it
    Every time I pass by the garden, it’s standing there proudly, waving at me like, “Today is my day!” No chemicals, no shortcuts just good soil, patience, and love. Harvesting it feels like a small celebration, and cooking it? That’s the real reward.

  12. This tomato plant has turned into a whole nursery 😂🍅
    Tiny fruits everywhere left, right, hiding under leaves my favorite kind! I check on it every morning, afternoon, and “just passing by” in the evening like a worried parent. Each new tomato feels like a small miracle. Farming really teaches you joy in little things… and patience too, because I’m counting them already 😄

  13. 2025 gardening scorecard: self-replicating leafy greens

    This year’s gardening season was easier than usual mainly because in some ways, 2024’s gardening season never ended: As spring rolled around, I was delighted to see that last fall’s arugula, spinach, parsley and even cilantro had somehow survived a winter with multiple snowfalls and sub-freezing days.

    I don’t know why that happened this year but not in earlier years (see my recaps of 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011), but I appreciate that unearned benefit anyway.

    Arugula: A+

    My go-to leafy green remained undefeated for yet another year, providing sandwich fixings and delicious additions to a variety of other recipes–it’s great to throw into an omelette, a pan sauce, on top of pasta or even as a garnish for a pizza just out of the oven.

    Herbs: A

    I’m using to parsley doing well, but cilantro persisting through summer and fall was not what I expected; neither was cilantro briefly returning in the fall. Thyme thrived for a second year in a row, and I had more rosemary and sage from the pots on the back patio than I knew what to do with. Mint, however, suffered from my irregular watering.

    Spinach: B+

    This did immensely better in the spring than in the fall, even though I sowed a fresh set of seeds in the fall. I continue to endorse this as an entry-level kitchen-garden crop over lettuce because, like arugula, it’s useful for so much more than salads and sandwiches.

    Peppers: B-

    All credit here goes to my wife, who once again grew bell and jalapeño peppers in a planter in the driveway for some of our most cost-effective gardening. Those plants, however, were not as productive as in past years, even discounting the peppers that some of our local squirrels snacked on.

    Lettuce: C

    This was one of 2025’s gardening disappointments; like last year, I didn’t get much out of the plants that grew from the seeds I planted in the spring. That still represents a decent ROI when you look at what good lettuce costs at a farmer’s market, but I can’t help thinking of how much better this crop fared in earlier years.

    Tomatoes: D-

    Yet another year, yet another year of disappointment in my attempt to grow one of my native state’s signature crops. This is starting to look like an annual slow-motion, step-on-the-rake exercise in which most of the tomatoes I grow only start to ripen once we run into a period of drought or or travel prevents me from harvesting and enjoying the results. It’s frustrating, but of course I will try again next year.
