Whipped Out

From Jaci Burton, who is gonna get one hell of a manicure in Orlando, I think.
Time for the June garden update.
My garden is an alien thing. It’s freakin’ huge. We’ve already decided to expand it for next year, because between the potatoes, the ginormous tomato plants and the cucumber plant, they’re taking over the entire [...]

Jaci Burton and I are still facing off in the Garden Off (Up for grabs: manicures at RWA Nationals), and here’s my May 2010 update. Only… not all my plants are here yet. I think it’s too cold yet for me to plant some of them so the nursery hasn’t shipped them. But here’s an [...]

In our May reports in the Garden Off, Renae reports a difficult April with epic huge plants to show for it.
Everything that can have gone wrong so far has, including getting in trouble with the landlord for using the hose, running out of money for potting soil, rain every weekend, a little black fly [...]

Behold, a Garden-Off update from Alison Kent from deep in the mists of somewhere. Her post blows my mind: my tomato plants are barely 2′ high!! And she’s got, like, a misty forest of tomatoes!
It’s supposed to be stormy tomorrow so I took May 1st pictures tonight. We’ve got the one vine that started about [...]

So, it’s time for garden updates from Jaci, me, and all of you who are playing along at home. Right now my garden is being smacked down by a hella rainstorm, but things are be-yoooo-tiful in Oklahoma, judging by Jaci’s pictures. From Jaci:
And how’s my garden project doing? Pretty damn good, surprisingly. Here it was [...]

From Jaci Burton: it’s in! It’s in! (That’s what she said.)
Garden is in and operating. Well, I don’t know if it’s operating, but it’s in. Photo attached. Attack dogs patrolling the perimeter. If I can get them all corralled in one place at the same time (no easy feat with 5 dogs who never listen) [...]

Author Alison Kent has ghosts in her garden. No srsly, take a look:

She writes, “We’ve got five tomato plants, four in the greenhouse cages, one waiting for Walt to pick up a bigger pot then plant and cage it. Then we have five or six (some off screen) long planters of onions. All [...]

I admit it: I had no idea that pictures of other people’s gardens would be so fascinating but it SO IS OMG. So meet Samantha, who has a container garden setup that yields some powerhouse food stuffs.
“We rent a house in Southern California so the yards are tiny and due to the area we [...]

Renae has accepted the Garden Off challenge! She offers a small garden photo series for our competition, with adorable dog in each shot.
Holy crapoly, she’s not kidding. Check it:

As she says, “Yard: Yes, that’s my entire yard. I live in a second story apartment.”

“Garden: A container garden, which means “spend a fortune on potting [...]

Jaci Burton and I are going to do a photograph-based garden competition – whose garden reigns supreme? I think y’all may be voting, unless I come up with a way to query squirrels in NJ and OK!
Then it occurred to me that maybe other folks who are starting vegetable gardens might like a chance [...]
