What’s Blooming Today

May 1, 2010 by Jeanne

As temperatures soared unexpectedly into the 90’s today (very hot for this time of year), many of my perennials finally burst into bloom. Enjoy this little tour around the garden! I drove into town this morning for the Heart of Virginia Festival but only stopped at the plant sale at the train station. I picked up two tomato plants and two mums and looked for some of my local blog readers who said they would be there, but as luck would have it, they weren’t at the plant sale tables. Sorry I missed you!

It’s too hot to garden today but you can enjoy a little virtual tour of the flowers….

Happy Weekend!

    Hi Jeanne,

    Sorry I missed you too! We have to feed chickens before I can come so it was 10:00 AM before I got there. Have to do my real work first! Thanks for coming.

    I missed you by about 10 minutes. I got there early to avoid the festival crowds! Hope you made a lot of money for the Master Gardener Group.

Watermelon in the Home Garden

Growing watermelon in the home garden is not for the faint of heart. I have plenty of room, and it still threatened to take over the garden. You will either need to leave a lot of room for the sprawling vines or look for varieties specifically marked for containers. Growing it on a trellis is…

Growing Zucchini in Raised Beds

Growing zucchini in raised beds ensures that this prolific vegetable has the best conditions to thrive. You can grow zucchini in pots or containers, but I prefer growing it in raised beds. This is a great vegetable to grow if you have a “black thumb” and kill plastic plants, because it’s hard to grow a…

How to Grow Onions in Your Backyard

Wondering how to grow onions? I’ve grown onions here at Seven Oaks Farm in several ways: from “sets” or starter plants and from store-bought onions that sprouted in the bag! Onions don’t require much space, and you can grow a lot for the money you spend on starter plants. Let’s take a look at how…
