We are under attack!!

The garden is looking great and we are really excited to see that most of the plants that we started from seed (corn, sunflowers, and radishes) are growing and growing FAST! I realized that I overwatered some plants, which resulted in a powdery mildew attack on the squash! AHHHHHHH!!! La huerta se ve genial y [...]

Sangria & a bachelorette

Two weeks ago the weekend started off with my good friend Ellen’s bachelorette party.

Leslie and I want to grow so many things in our garden but since we are rookies we decided to go for some of the “easier” things to grow this season. Once we get some experience, we will diversify our produce portfolio! So here our list of plants: Leslie y yo queremos plantar tantas cosas [...]
