Fall bulb planting surprises
Not sure if it is the long winter, or just me getting older but I have no clue what bulbs we planted last fall. Guess I will find out in a couple weeks.

Releasing ladybugs in your garden
When we started my garden at my our current house my daughters and I noticed we didn’t have any ladybugs roaming around the leaves. Now I would like to think that aphids and mites feared me so much to dare to step foot in my garden, but the reality is I live in a newer neighborhood with vegetation in its early stages and with the lush forest around me…

How to save radish seeds
Harvesting radish seeds is a little more labor intensive than some other seeds but still pretty easy to accumulate a decent number of seeds in a short period of time. If you let your radishes be they will grow little flowers and pods like you see below. I like to let mother nature take care of this process as long as possible pulling them only after temperatures start to…

I am sure the butterflies won’t mind and guess it should look a little closer…

Where did the tomatoes go?
I have to admit I am not that great about keeping up with my current events, so if it is not in Engadget or my various gardening RSS feeds I haven’t heard about it. So after the second day I noticing the lack of tomatoes in the cafeteria at work I had to investigate. For anyone who watches the news or reads a newspaper apparently there was a widespread…

Glad to know I’m not the only person who forgets what they planted. The best surprise was a year after I put in a new bed and crocus’ came up. I know for sure I hadn’t planted them.Lucky me, a squirrel must have stole them from somebody else and stored them in my nicely tilled soil. They’re still here years later, hooray!
That is the great things about bulbs never know where they will pop up. Our last house we bought in fall and had some surprise when the tulips and iris came up the next spring.
