Spring has come very late to our neck of the woods this year. It’s been cold and really not Spring-like at all for the most part. One thing that has bugged us for years is that while we should be planting many of our seeds now, it is really still too cold and many young [...]

March Garden Report
Spring has finally sprung! Hard to believe, but the time has come to get back in the garden, even though it’s been cold and we’ve even had a little snow this month. I love to see the progress of the garden (and I do get comments about it) so just like last year, I plan [...]
November Garden Report
Just as I did for June, July, August, September and October, it’s time for another garden update. As you might expect, it is pretty much over for a garden in the Northeast by November. But a few stragglers keep coming: Tomatoes. I can’t believe we *still* have cherry tomatoes. They don’t taste as good as [...]
October Garden Report – Sandy Edition
First of all, I hope everyone reading this is safe and not too terribly affected by Hurricane Sandy. Millions of people (and virtually every person I know) were affected by this storm, and it looks like the return to normalcy will be a long one.

July Garden Report
As I mentioned last month, I plan to post a monthly update on my beloved garden. Here’s what was happening in July: Zucchini, zucchini and more zucchini. I think I’ve lost a few pounds on what I call “The Zucchini Diet”, where I eat an entire zucchini cut into spears with hummus every afternoon. (It’s [...]

June Garden Report
I really love our little garden, and I get a lot of satisfaction out of it. It’s also the reason for the visual theme of this website, and even the name, “Cultivating Wealth”. So I thought I’d share what’s happening in the garden once a month for the next few months. We have a little [...]
