reminiscing and planning

These are more photos of my garden from last year. I edited them yesterday with software that makes them look like paintings. I like the bright colors. As I look at them, I am wondering what this year’s garden will be like… I am finding photos very helpful for planning. This spring, I will remove a couple of bushes on the house side of the path (bottom of photos), which will add about 50 sq ft of additional space. The tomatoes, eggplants and peppers will go there. Should be warm…

link

I was just reading the redesigned Garden Blogs List site at The Providence Journal. Along, with about 200 other gardening sites, Sheila has added a link to my site. She writes: Skippy’s Vegetable Garden is east of Boston, and it’s a study in snow-covered plots. Skippy is a Portuguese water dog whose owner, Kathy, hasn’t broken it to him that it’s not his garden alone. To relieve all that whiteness, she’s pulled up photos from last year’s garden — a kind sight for winter eyes. She’s posted her 2007 seed…

what’s this?

I think this may be some odd vegetable in my garden! The neighbors keep looking at it funny. There used to be a little garden gnome out there, but I couldn’t find him anywhere this morning.

snowy watercolors

Its another snowy day. We’re getting a couple inches of fresh white fluffy snow. I have found a feature that converts images to “watercolors” with the software for my new Olympus camera. So these are snowy pictures of my garden with a different look.

garden pictures from last year

Without anything going on in the garden, I am yet again fooling around with last years photos… Sometime last fall, I set up a Flickr account and started uploading my photos there. Its a way to blog a higher resolution photo than Blogger uploads allow. Flickr has all sorts of features for tagging and grouping and rating photos. The photos in this composite are the ones that have been viewed the most. Some of the photos, I wonder why they get viewed. Why do people view my thermometer (46 views)?…

Not much going on in my garden! Snow, snow, snow….

melting snow

Our snow has melted a bit. We’ve had two beautiful, sunny warm days. Maybe my garden gnome will be able to get back to work soon. His wheelbarrow is still buried, but at least he’s breathing easier now.

snowed under

My garden gnome is pretty well snowed under today. We got about about 5 inches of wet snow yesterday that has now frozen rock solid. Poor old gnome. My carrots and garlic are buried under there too.
