No, I'm not making catsup, or ketchup either. Even if I had that many tomatoes, it would still be too hot. July 22. Hanging around Gage Park looking for cool pictures. The guy fishing here must have been hot, I didn't even want to get out of the car. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

The Barefoot Gardener: January 2015
http://barefootgrdnr.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Musings, impressions, poetry, pictures and everything else about my experiences in gardening, especially as I learn about taking it to a new level. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. During the recent weeks of uncharacteristic mild weather, I've taken the opportunity to help out my future self and start preparing the garden for planting. After the wiggling (still not like twerking) I pull the fork out as straight up as possible, step back, stab, step, wiggle, pull and repeat. and repeat and repeat and repe...

The Barefoot Gardener: The February Itch
http://barefootgrdnr.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-february-itch.html
Musings, impressions, poetry, pictures and everything else about my experiences in gardening, especially as I learn about taking it to a new level. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. The crocus are eager. Last night I stood in the bedroom and listened to the geese call as they flew overhead. They have been on the move for more than a month, chasing warm weather and open water. They come calling to spring. By February, northeast Kansas usually. Has said "goodbye" to single-digit temperatures. Apparently, we've s...

The Barefoot Gardener: January 2014
http://barefootgrdnr.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Musings, impressions, poetry, pictures and everything else about my experiences in gardening, especially as I learn about taking it to a new level. Monday, January 13, 2014. Polar Vortex vs January Thaw. I'm back again. You would think that the winter lull would see me furiously posting here as I try to fill the time. However, I've sort of been avoiding blogging. I kept feeling that I really should be doing something more constructive, more tangible in my daily life. When forecasters warned of the polar ...

Picture Topeka: Everything In Between

PICTURING OUR LIFE IN THE SPACE CALLED TOPEKA, KANSAS. Contact me, k.l.holmes13 at gmail.com). Click on pictures for larger views! Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Monarda seed heads. She's always beautiful. No rain for us. Just clouds. Hybrid flock. The mallards on the ponds at 6th and Gage have made friends with some yellow-billed white ducks. Mighty clouds the evening of August 8. Still no rain for us. 12-Spotted Skimmer, perched on the radio antenna of my car. More great clouds, but still no rain.

The Barefoot Gardener: September 2014
http://barefootgrdnr.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Musings, impressions, poetry, pictures and everything else about my experiences in gardening, especially as I learn about taking it to a new level. Thursday, September 25, 2014. The Autumn Equinox has passed and we are dipping deeper into the dark half of the year. Roots dig, dig, dig as leaves shrivel. Oh, I did prune back the vines when they started to escape the bird netting. All of my resources recommend curing the sweet potatoes at 85-90 degrees Fahrenheit. By this time of year, we are well past...

Musings, impressions, poetry, pictures and everything else about my experiences in gardening, especially as I learn about taking it to a new level. Thursday, June 5, 2014. Strawberries, Strawberries, Strawberries. This season's features are "Strawberries, Strawberries, Strawberries," and "Monster Kale.". I prefer whole strawberries to jam, but, who knows? I may make some anyway. The berries are so abundant. This K-State Extension publication. Also has some good info on strawberries. Sandra M. Siebert.

The Barefoot Gardener: Marching In
http://barefootgrdnr.blogspot.com/2015/03/marching-in.html
Musings, impressions, poetry, pictures and everything else about my experiences in gardening, especially as I learn about taking it to a new level. Thursday, March 5, 2015. We turn the calendar to March, and suddenly everything feels different. The air feels softer. The birdsong seems louder. The garden looks more alive, even though nothing has changed since a month ago. Green daffodil blades erupt through the wood chip mulch. But March dawned with intermittent sun that melted much of Saturday's snow....

The Barefoot Gardener: Blooms and Things
http://barefootgrdnr.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-crocus-wither-but-these-lovely-and.html
Musings, impressions, poetry, pictures and everything else about my experiences in gardening, especially as I learn about taking it to a new level. Monday, March 16, 2015. The crocus wither, but these lovely and diminutive Iris reticulata popped their heads out in the last few days. On Friday, the UPS truck drove up our hill bearing apple trees and berry plants, so Friday and Saturday were spent digging holes, soaking peat moss (for the blueberries), and planting, planting, planting. Hi ho, hi ho! It's t...
