Earth Day 2009 w/ Pictures From The Garden

Happy Earth Day everyone!  I hope you take a minute today, walk outside and stretch and let the sun  shine down on you.  Take a minute to notice how beautiful our Earth is… and do something for it for a change.  Instead of the other way around.  Lots of our online gardening friends always say that they wished people would act like they did on Earth Day every single day.  I agree with that, however – it is good that at least for one day everyone is on the same page.

So if you wanted to be super cool, you could make an Earth Day resolution.  Decide on something you are going to do to help make our Earth a better place.  Just a thought.

In celebration of Earth Day – we are just going to post some pictures of our garden and plants.  We kinda feel like this way Earth can speak for itself on Earth Day.  What-cha-think?  Join us if you care to.  Enjoy & HAPPY EARTH DAY!

Growing Potatoes Update (as promised)

Had a minute at lunch to take a picture of our potatoes growing in the barrel (read: How To Grown 100 lbs. of Potatoes).  And compared to the one I posted this morning…

WOW.

They really have grown in the last month.  Here is a before & after (with about 3 weeks in between)…

Before:

Growing Potatoes At Home

After:

Growing Potatoes At Home In A Barrel

Not too shabby eh?  We HAVE to get in there and mound up around the tops… dumb that we haven’t already.  But you know how it goes sometimes.  You just can’t seem to get caught up right?  Maybe today is the day.  Maybe.
