Armenian Cucumbers 2012

With all the bad luck I've had with my seed starting it looks like I'll be getting some Armenian Cucumbers after all. Of course there's nothing saying they won't just dry up before maturing. Already lost one or two of the other cucumbers. This picture is a bit blurry too. Guess I need to steady my hands more.

The Garden Swap #3493.1

The Garden Swap : Any of you from the '60s remember string art? Starts out as a basic wooden frame with nails spaced around it evenly, then just tie off a spool of string and get creative stretching it from side to side. Lots of different random ways to get different random effects, but mostly it's keeping both sides even by counting the nails on each side for a mirror effect. If you're feeling radical, you can offset the starter nails for each side and get some bizarre shapes.

Largest Plum So Far

To my surprise I was looking out the back door the other day and noticed these bright yellow globes in my Burbank Plum Tree. I haven't been keeping a close eye on it because I figured the plums were all gone just like the Santa Rosa plums. Normally these would already have ripened at about half this size.

Rose Gardening

Rose Gardening: "Roses have gotten a bad wrap over the years for being difficult to grow and maintain. If you are thinking of rose gardening don’t let this rumor stop you. While rose gardening can prove to be challenging, once you get the hang of it, it really isn’t that bad.
When you first start rose gardening, you will have to choose what type of rose you wish to plant, and no, I’m not talking about the color. You will have to choose between bare-root, pre-packaged, and container-grown roses."
