My first almost all computer generated garden... Felt a little wrong, but was a lot of fun to put together. The site is the Bee Lab on the St. Paul campus.

1905



1905- 4 days before the San Fransisco Earthquake and fire. A trip down Market Street, this is amazing and eerie.
Thanks Dad for sharing such a great piece of history.

Support your local independent everything. On a VW.


Eat drink and buy local. On a Honda.


Buy organic local and fair made. On a Jetta.


Eat drink and buy local. On a Prius.


Eat drink and buy local. On a honda.


Buy local and buy fair. On a Rav-4.


Stupid people.

Bye Bye Grass




Ah my boulevard is grass free... 

Not that I cared for it, or even mowed it for that matter, it was basically a dirt pit for the neighborhood kids to ride their bikes through..  But now it has over 50 day lillies and the cedar boxes are filled...  Ahh, accomplishment feels so good!

But now I get to be one of those old ladies who yells at the kids to stay out of her flowers!  Bring it on kiddies...

DRAT! The Squash Borer Beetle strikes again!!




Dammit, the last four of the six years this bugger has gotten me, turning my squash to an icky, gooey mess... We'll that is it, I am throwing in the towel on this plant... fresh Zucchini will have to come from the farmers market and not by garden.  
Th exciting part is A LOT of veggie real estate just opened up- what 4 sq. feet?  Anyone have any grand ideas of an exotic veggie that will grow in zone 4a?
