Football — Touring the USA. Farm to Table in Austin, TX. Posts Tagged ‘Vegetable Gardening’. Spaghetti Squash with Tomatillo Sauce. On July 1, 2015 2 Comments. Especially during the summer, I let the garden inspire me on what’s for dinner. Tonight’s combination was spaghetti squash, tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, and tomatoes. I started by cutting the squash in half, and placed it upside down in about 1/2 in of water. I cooked it at 350 for about 40 minutes. I could open a food truck with those. I was in ...

Delights, Dilemmas and Dirt: September 2013
http://delightfulgardenaustin.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Delights, Dilemmas and Dirt. Sunday, September 22, 2013. September Garden Update: Fall at Last! I managed to catch a couple of butterflies on the plumbagos. One is a Pipevine Swallowtail. I believe- the black one with blue on the lower wings. The other may be an American Lady. Black, orange, a couple of white spots and white wing margins. My iPhone photos don't do justice to these beauties. In spite of my relative neglect, sage is hanging on, and flat-leaf parsley and multiplying onions are coming back.

Delights, Dilemmas and Dirt: September Bloom Day
http://delightfulgardenaustin.blogspot.com/2014/09/september-bloom-day.html
Delights, Dilemmas and Dirt. Sunday, September 14, 2014. Happy early autumn greetings to my fellow gardeners! And thanks, as always, to Carol at May Dreams Gardens.

This was the highest aerial view I could manage, perched on top of a ladder. Yes, I tell my kids not to do this all the time. Autumn Sage ( Salvia greggii). Plumbago ( Plumbago auriculata). Is one I usuall...

Delights, Dilemmas and Dirt: Black Gold, at least I hope it is.

Delights, Dilemmas and Dirt. Saturday, August 16, 2014. Black Gold, at least I hope it is. So, I've been piddling around with composting for about two years now. We've had the Tumbleweed. Compost tumbler for about a year and a half. I've harvested the compost approximately every six months, so we've had three harvests. Here's the thing: I'm still not sure I'm doing it right. I'm not sure about the correct procedure for emptying the composter, either. My unscientific method is: unscrew both end caps, ...
