An Earth Day Birthday at My Earth Garden!

That’s right!  It’s not even the end of April yet and we’ve had an early birth here at MEG HQ!  The first tomato of the season has sprouted forth and promises to be beautiful and delicious!  I had to post this photo as soon as I discovered the baby because I knew that Shibaguyz would [...]

First Tomatoes and Free Gardening Stuff!

Today was the day. I’d rather quickly dropped my early season tomato seedling purchases into larger pots a few weeks ago and hadn’t paid attention to the fact that one of the pots had no drainage.  Yesterday a cursory check revealed the need to plant my beloved Mr. Stripey heirloom tomato plant immediately or risk [...]

Coming Soon to a Garden Near You!

My mother used to joke that I must be part rabbit because of my love for salads.  Of course back then a salad consisted of iceberg lettuce, some tomato, perhaps some cucumber and a bit of onion and some dressing.  As the years progressed so too did my taste for the salad to the point [...]

Our First Lady Knows Victory

The Friday Follies

Hey everybody, I won something!  Courtesy of James & Shala over at DoubleDanger.com (an amazingly fun and ultra hip place to be) yours truly has won a reusable eco-bag from Be Smart, Be Green!  I know, right?  I never win anything!  Rest assured I’ll be posting photos when it arrives; I’m just that eco-geeky.

Welcome to the 2009 Growing Season!

It is hard to believe it is already April of 2009 and yet that’s exactly what the calendar tells me is the case.  I am indeed in a new home in Atlanta, Georgia and aside from the ungodly pollen count early on this year and temperatures that continued to dip down into the freezing zone [...]

Dear Mother Nature: OMG!!! WTF?!?

I have successfully completed my relocation from Birmingham to Atlanta just in time for unseasonably cold temperatures for April.  Actually, today’s pollen counts were off the proverbial chart and now tonight and tomorrow night the temps are expected to dip down to the freezing mark or below.  What does it all mean and why should [...]
