Crow in Garden: Onions!
http://crow-in-garden.blogspot.com/2011/08/onions.html
Finally, after weeks of waiting, drying, and curing, I have a firm total of onion's harvested. So I purchased a set of 'Stuttgarter' onions from Pinetree Garden Seeds. One onion of this size is just enough for two servings of most any dish (barring onion soup), but your mileage may vary. Sadly, a good lot of the onions I harvested are smaller, closer to shallot size. A few didn't grow to a useable size, so I'm planning to save these and experiment with planting them in fall.

Crow in Garden: Harvests, 6/2-6/21
http://crow-in-garden.blogspot.com/2011/06/harvests-62-621.html
So I've been bad over the last 3(! Here's what I've harvested since my last post:. 7 baby bok choys. Small bunch of arugula. 4 cups 'Jericho' and 'Flashy Trout's Back' lettuce (chopped). Bunch of young yellow multiplier onions. Small bunch of chives. 3 baby 'Detroit Red' beets w/greens. 17 'Shandong' garlic bulbs. And though the beets were pretty small, I went ahead and added them to the CSA beets I pickled on Sunday. Sadly, only one jar, but it will make an excellent side once fall hits. I'm a freelance...

Crow in Garden: New Seeds for 2011
http://crow-in-garden.blogspot.com/2011/03/new-seeds-for-2011.html
New Seeds for 2011. I order my seeds a month ago, but I'm running a bit late this year and only just planted them last week. This evening I checked the soil in the garden and, even after a snow on Monday, the temperature registered nearly 60F. So it would appear that spring is nearly upon us, hinting at the harvest to come. This evening was actually my first harvest of the year, though I must admit I cheated. I pulled this cup or so of lettuce from the cold frame:. Here's this year's haul:. Shell Peas, "...

Crow in Garden: 2010 in Review
http://crow-in-garden.blogspot.com/2011/01/2010-in-review.html
In February and March, we built a cold frame from an old window cedar 2x4's and installed it just as the soil was beginning to warm. You can read more about building and installing the cold frame in this entry. In April I was able to put out some seedlings started in the basement, but as soon as the temperature edged towards the 60's and 70's, nearly all of them were fried. First lesson learned. Always keep the lid of your cold frame open when it starts getting warm. I was able to harvest a few baby fenn...

Crow in Garden: Harvest, 5/30-5/31
http://crow-in-garden.blogspot.com/2011/06/harvest-530-531.html
The harvest season is picking up in my garden, and there is much to be pulled up and picked. On Monday I dug up 14 garlic bulbs. Last night's harvest was 8oz of spinach and chard leaves. Too, are on the verge of bolting, and yesterday I also managed to pull at least half a pound. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. A Study in Contrasts. Can You Dig It?

Crow in Garden: What's going on in the garden?
http://crow-in-garden.blogspot.com/2011/05/whats-going-on-in-garden.html
What's going on in the garden? And so, without further ado. Nearby, there's a Solomon's Seal I planted last year. This variety has variegated leaves, which I thought would be more eye-catching than the old-fashioned variety. And some adorable unknown flower blooming beneath the serviceberry, also planted last year. The leaves and flowers looked very familiar, but I can't seem to place a name on it. Any guesses? Here's a volunteer lettuce I spotted early in the season, along with several others of the 'Fl...

Crow in Garden: How to Build a Cold Frame
http://crow-in-garden.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-to-build-cold-frame.html
How to Build a Cold Frame. Well, it's a good way of extending the season in your vegetable garden. You can start plants early inside the frame or keep plants inside after frost hits. You can also protect young seedlings from possible frost in the early spring. And here's how the cold frame looked yesterday:. March 16, 2010 at 8:34 PM. I think Ive seen the kind of cold frames youre talking about. Sort of like the box beds, right? Would be a good solution for someone w/mobility issues as well. Everything B...
