Bright plants around the mosaic

Breaking through the clouds and falling into gardens!

 Mariel and I are now in the process of planting the plants in our Student Exhibition garden we designed. It has been a pretty busy and productive planting day!  The garden will be fully installed by Monday evening, so stay posted.






My personal garden on the row is also perking up, with the help of the last couple rains! Some of the chamomile flowers have now opened their buds to welcome you.

Edible plants and breaking glass!

Herbaceous Garden 5/1/2012

Flowers, vegetables, and butterflies have made quite an entrance into our gardens. None of my vegetables are ready to be eaten but with this weather, it has to be soon!

Veggie Garden 5/1/2012

My herbaceous and veggie plots are starting to fill in and I am ready to see my garden pop with colors.







On another note, my garden partner, Mariel and I are almost finished with our mosaic for our collaborative garden, 'Cloud break'. Next week we fill our garden in with plants!

'Cloud break' Mosaic/ ALMOST COMPLETE!!!

Vegetable plot as of 4/17/2012

 After a gentle rain two days ago, seedlings are slowly emerging from the soil, such as radishes and wheat grass. Other plants in the garden include peas, spinach, purple mustard greens, garlic, thyme, strawberries, blueberries, chives, sage, bak choi, kale, kohlrabi and arugula.

 To the right are some of the seedlings that have been started in the greenhouse. Out of anticipation I have started my Cherokee purple tomatoes, ground cherries, Quinoa, peanuts, basil, parsley, and artichoke. I am pretty excited about all of my vegetables!

Besides my vegetable garden the mosaic for the Student exhibition garden is coming along. For more information in regards to that project click on the top tab 'Student Exhibition garden.

Springing early into the garden!

Veggie plot 2012

Six months of classes have ended and now spring greets us three weeks early this year. This means it is time to garden. Vegetables have been planted in my personal vegetable plot. There will be some plants I have never grown before and I am very excited to see how they turn out. Some of them include artichoke, quinoa, peanuts, and sweet ground cherries! I will  tell you how they turn out. This spring and summer means no shopping for vegetables at the grocery store.



On another note, the New Guinea Impatiens 'Sonic sweet purple' I grew have finally started to show their blooms!

Garden installation begins!

 Today has been filled with construction and gardening! With the help of the amazing carpenters, Mariel and I began setting up the base and laying in the frame for our Mosaic in our student exhibition garden. We are both pretty excited to pour some concrete next week and map out the rest of our garden path!

Student Exhibition Garden tab.

Besides that, I started weeding some of my vegetable plot this year and planted some early season crops such as mustard greens, spinach, and arugula. Vegetables always get me pretty excited!

Cloud shattering times...

And so the garden creation begins for the 2012 Student exhibition garden. Mariel and I have salvaged tiles to begin our mosaic center piece for our garden "Cloud break". Our plants have been ordered and will be on their way in April. To see more info about the garden itself, go to the tab on the home page titled "Student Exhibition garden".

Besides all that, classes will be winding down in a few weeks and I think all of us are feeling the pressure and ready to get finals out of the way.
