Charity Snellgrove commented on Charity Snellgrove's blog post Farming is Hard!"I like that idea Cathy thank you! And thank you for the encouragement. =) We will just keep working at it. I should've known better when I thought I'd get everything going in the first year anyway. =)"
Charity Snellgrove posted a blog postFarming is Hard!
Here it is May, and what was supposed to be my beautiful farm is proving to be much harder to accomplish than I'd orginally thought.Here was the plan that I'd laid out in February. I was going to till during a sunny streak in March, plot out the newly tilled soil into the garden plan I'd carefully created using Visio and Excel, and start sowing the seed for the cool weather veggies while getting the warmer stuff started in my greenhouse. Then as the weeks marched toward spring I would execute…See More
Debbie Cochran/zone 7 commented on Charity Snellgrove's blog post February 18th 2010 - Getting out into the garden"I love that greenhouse! When we moved into our house 16 years ago, the prior owner "planted" fake flowers in the flower beds. :) When cleaning out the front bed, I uncovered a beautiful pink peony. It has been blooming faithfully each year."
Charity Snellgrove commented on Carol Powers's blog post Spring - New Begining - Begin Again"Welcome Carol. At least you figured out the issue and didn't give up. =) Happy Gardening!"
Charity Snellgrove commented on Debbie Cochran/zone 7's blog post Burpee Seed Order"How exciting!! I love getting seed in the mail. I'm trying melons and drying beans for the first time this year too. The beans have to dry in a celler or a garage here in Western WA, or you have to put a cover over them so they can dry on the…"

Eagle above the house
This eagle was flying above our house yesterday, feb 19th. This is probably the 5th eagle I've seen in the last week. Very cool.
Charity Snellgrove commented on Lila Huebert's blog post Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy....."Well I'll look at your pics and you can look at mine and we'll both laugh together. =) We've had some sun here in western WA this week and I'm just hope hope hoping that it sticks around this weekend. I'll be up to my elbows…"
Charity Snellgrove commented on debra's blog post I wish my grandmother could see this now.."Like Debra, I thank you to for your story. It really touched me. I too have Iris planted in my garden in my grandmother's memory. I can't hardly smell an orchid without getting misty eyed because the scent reminds me of her. But I was also…"

Charity Snellgrove posted a blog postFebruary 18th 2010 - Getting out into the garden
You've heard of the no till method, right? Well I think the method used by the people who owned this property before me used the no weed method, where they refused to weed the beds. =)This is one of the beds I'm getting started on. I've made a small dent, and keep uncovering what I think are iris bulbs. We'll just have to see! This bed will be my project, and hopefully it will end up looking as nice as the rock garden.My husband and I have been working on this rock garden for the last couple of…See More

This is my first post to my first blog. I have never written a blog before because I didn't think anyone would care about what I had to say. Then I found out, that doesn't matter! Even if I'm the only one reading this out in cyber space, that's ok. There's lots of room out there.
Like everyone else who has been…

Unknown tropical plant
"Interesting, may be a relative, since it has never bloomed. The leaf in the pic is nearly 20" long on nearly a 3 foot stem."
