Raised Bed on a Deck Question
A Growing The Home Garden reader sent me this question asking how I would build a raised bed on a deck. It’s a very interesting question. I’ve never built a raised bed on a deck before but if I were planning one here’s what I would do. But first the question: Dave, I want to build a raised bed garden…

Front Sidewalk Garden View From September, a Look Back
I was looking back at photographs of the past year in the garden and found these shots of the front sidewalk garden. When the weather is cold and rainy outside it’s nice to look back sometimes and see how things were where they were in bloom. The sidewalk skirts the garage portion of our house and takes you up to…
Tomatoes and Fall Garden Thoughts
It’s that time of year where the tomatoes are coming in faster than I can pick them. That’s a good thing but I wonder sometimes if I’m in over my head trying to find ways to use all these tomatoes. I planted over 20 tomato plants this year which may have been too many but I couldn’t resist. There are…
Accomplishments from a Saturday in the Garden
Saturday was one of those days that you had to be outside. Sunny and in the 70’s the weather was nothing less than pure perfection. It was truely a spring weather day.

A Vegetable Garden Update (Early May 2013)
This year is going to be a challenge. I can tell already judging from the weather we’re having. A delayed start combined with high moisture and strange weather is creating a tricky situation for gardeners. All this moisture may sound like a good thing but I’m very concerned about the potential for fungal diseases on our tomatoes and peppers. Powdery…
Today in the Garden
Today in the garden I spent a good deal of time cleaning up and clearing out the old vegetables of the 2008 season. The tomatoes are gone as are the cucumbers, squash, and beans. The cantaloupe stopped producing weeks ago and surprisingly the watermelon gave us one more last week before its demise. It wasn’t much of a watermelon but…

Sowing Shade Garden Seeds
Last week I put together a couple flats of shade garden plants that I’m attempting to grow from seed. I’ve had pretty good success before with my heucheras and thought I would give a few other shade plants a try! A couple years ago I intended (but never got around to) to begin sowing shade garden plants and began saving…
Creeping Phlox: Uses in the Garden
If you’re like me you’re a sucker for phlox in the spring time. I’ve seen photos of phlox completely covering hillsides and it looks just like a painting, wouldn’t it be cool to mimic that idea in your own garden? Maybe just on a small scale though because once the phlox blooms in the spring all you see is green…
Greenhouse Project: Feeling Closed In
It’s time for another backyard greenhouse shed update and I’m excited about this one! You might ask why am I so excited…the doors have been set! This is when I can see that everything is starting to look like I originally intended. The front doors are on after a little bit of repair work. We shaved off an inch of…
