		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t fence my garden in. That&#8217;s because I am lazy and cheap. Also, most of my flora is left alone by the local fauna. Some of the little critters in the area bother my tomatoes or nibble on the occasional plant. But for the most part they leave them alone. They could climb over [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s my fault, I realize that now. I thought it was safe to plant some seeds, that we were past another hard frost. It was over 70 degrees last week. I tempted fate and fate struck back with a vengeance. Yesterday and last night we got snow. And not just a little snow, it&#8217;s sticking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s just March and I&#8217;m already at work in the garden. I&#8217;m taking a cue from the plants budding all around that we will not have another hard frost and that it is in fact safe to plant. I could be wrong, but at $1.50 at most in seeds, it&#8217;s a risk I&#8217;m willing to [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s rough to say the least. Leave some comments on wether I should do more like this on the garden or not. Well, here goes: Gardener&#8217;s Update for [...]]]></description>

Okay, let me get this straight, I have this thing &#8220;on line&#8221; where I write down whatever comes to mind and then people read it. Doesn&#8217;t sound very realistic.

Unfortunately, this year is one of the worst for it. The weather has been cool and rainy for most of the summer, the dreaded blight’s favorite conditions. New [...]]]></description>

In the Kitchen the beets and carrots from my garden are roasting in the oven with rosemary, garlic, oil, and vinegar. The pasta water is heating and I’ll check it soon.

Things have slowed down now and I’m taking the time to enjoy having a yard. The sun has just gone down but the sky is still light. The birds are [...]]]></description>

I picked a not so great week to be on vacation. It’s rained almost every day and has been overcast ninety percent of the time. Temperatures have been lurking in the [...]]]></description>

The radishes are all gone. They were eaten on french bread with butter or in a salad. They had very mild flavors for radishes and were fairly [...]]]></description>

Despite having been poisoned and then most of it’s roots ripped from the ground my poison ivy has started to grow again. Only a couple of small spots, but it’s still here. I will proceed with some surgical strikes (unlike the carpet bombing of last [...]]]></description>

Also, I will use this forum for discussions of general gardening interest and not limit it to my vegetable garden. That being said, last week I was on vacation. I focussed on doing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Karl, how does your garden grow? Well, I don’t know. No one knows. It’s impossible to know. Technically, I don’t even know if it can be called a garden yet. There are the garden beds and the mulch, but no plants. It’s hasn’t had any plants in it’s entire existence. Give it a chance; it’s [...]]]></description>
