A Garden Grows in Torrington!

a little water for thirsty tomato plants, utilizing OXO's outdoor pour and store watering can

Plants cry their gratitude for the sun in green joy. ~Terri Guillemets Nearly every year for the past 4 years, I’ve operated under the delusion that I am capable of growing a garden.

ripening tomatoes

I haven’t kept you well informed about the garden this summer, have I? After the early summer rains challenged my seedlings–and sanity–by inviting a hoard of fungus gnats to feast on my poor plants’ roots, I have been pretty quiet. No, gardening did not drive me insane. I did learn a lot, though. Like if … [Read more…]
