Sorry to get this post up a day later than usual. I was working on some other projects yesterday, and we didn’t even get the video up until last night, so I’m posting today. Good news is that my camera is back from the shop, so we’ll have better quality photos starting next week. The
First, we finally uploaded the Week 8 video on Saturday, so you can watch that now at last week’s post. Sorry about the delay. We are back on track this week (though my digital camera is still in the shop, so the photos aren’t that great). The weather lately has been cool, windy, and rainy.
This update will be pretty short this week. We had a busy weekend, and we on a film set from 5-11PM last night, so we didn’t have time to upload the video to Youtube yet. I don’t know how to use the boyfriend’s new camera, so hopefully he’ll put it up tonight. We have filmed
This has been a somewhat eventful week concerning our container vegetables. We finally finished transplanting–all of our pots are full and as long as they all survive the transplant, there will be no more transplanting this season!

Last week we started transplanting, with the beans and a few tomato plants. This week we did the bulk of the transplanting, moving the seedlings into their final containers. Just to be safe, we’re moving an extra seedling or 2 just in case one dies off. Later we’ll thin out the weaker plants. We have
We’re done with the fourth week of our container gardening adventure. The temperature in Chicago decided to drop again this week, so while we were in the 70s for awhile, we’ve dropped into the 40s & 50s, so the plants have mostly been indoors for the past week, just because it’s warmer. Unfortunately this week
I know I didn’t do a week 2 update last week, but it was a hectic week and there really wasn’t much change from week 1. Our seedlings continued to grow and that was about it. Well, during week 3, we got a little surprise. The pepper seeds we’d given up on have started to
Spring is officially here! I love looking out the window and seeing buds on the trees and flowers popping up. They’re all signs that the weather is warmer and gardening season is here. When I lived at home, my parents had a garden every year, growing all kinds of vegetables and fruits. I always enjoyed
