Cabbage patch kids

 Golden Acre Cabbage 

August

August has been unpredictable...wet...wild...and windy, with a lot of crazy lightening and thunder booms.

Through it all, my little garden has hung right in there!

Loving this shot from the upper garden...Carrots, Onions, Pumpkins, Corn, and Beans are doing pretty good.

All of our Cabbage has been begrudgingly  donated to feeding our local deer population. 

Sadly this is not the year of Cabbage at the Cedar House (((arghhhhhh))1st planting was lost to gophers, 2nd round planting has all gone to the deer...

I guess...You win some and you loose some!

On a happy note, Onions are big enough to start harvesting.

The Zucchini is plentiful, and our trusted zucchini bread recipe never disappoints.

Seedy Sunday

Sunday was spent outside doing yard chores, transplanting starts, and starting more seeds. This year I will be attempting to grow the beautiful Glass Gem Corn from Native Seeds. These seeds will get a little head start in the greenhouse.

Sweet little packet of Forget-Me-Nots from Susie B. that were handed out at the last  gardening club meeting...Have now been started.

also started today...

• Succession Planting #4 of lettuce Romaine, Iceberg, Four Seasons,& Tom Thumb
• California Giant Mix Zinnias
• Dill- Fern Leaf and Mammoth
• Chamomile
• Sicilian Violet Cauliflower
• January King Cabbage

In the greenhouse this week

Cabbage, Broccoli, Onion & Lettuce starts are about ready to be planted in the garden.

They sure are enjoying their time in the greenhouse.

I also picked up this cute little Tiny Tim Tomato plant at our local grocery store....

It had me at hello...with that cute label and blossoms! 

Lucky for me Tiny Tim is an heirloom.
