Urban Jungle
August 5, 2015
Things are proceeding well on The Veranda. Tomatoes are growing on every plant and there are herbs abound, but some have bolted (just how does one keep up with pruning oregano flowers). And while the squirrels are still a nuisance, I no longer live in fear of the imminent destruction of all my hard work. One thing […]
The Veranda: 2015
June 15, 2015
Sooo, I’ve gone a little nuts on The Veranda this season. I’ve implemented some anti-squirrel tactics (read chicken-wire fortress), which is still in the works, but I’m feeling very hopeful that I WILL WIN this year.

Last year I had several more on the same plant (the 3rd propogation from my first plant), and a few on my original plant (propogated from the plant of a great friend’s […]
Five Years in the Making…
September 15, 2011
The arrival of this long-anticipated bud on my Night Blooming Cereus plant is so exciting to me (probably not you) that I HAD to share. A little over five years ago, I was given a cutting of a Night Blooming Cereus plant from a good friend’s father. The thing about this plant is that it […]
