Vacation Goodness (and More Plants)
So Monday starts my two week excursion to begin eliminating some of the clutter around the house. I am also installing two new aeroponic gardens! Merry Yule to me (early)! 🙂 I have every intention of growing more tomatoes and peppers and trying some beans and peas. We’ll see. I’m strange like that. I’m also considering magickal plants in the smaller garden once…

The Demise of the 2011 Garden
So, many of you may have probably noticed I stopped posting about the garden the first part of July. For those who didn’t know, there’s a reason for this. We had a bit of a storm that took out the garden. It happens sometimes. ::shrug:: Luckily all my trees survived. So we shall try-try again next year. In the meantime you…

Latin Names Required
I love how so many of these witches books and sites will list herbs that can be used for this or that, and when it comes to giving them a name, they just use their folk names. This is kinda dangerous. Let me tell you why. Yesterday on a witchy FB wall someone posted the healing properties of a…

Little Surprises
Last night while watering the plants I was met with a lot of little surprises. Not just a multitude of blooms on all of my flowering veggie plants, but I discovered the peach tree had green shoots, the lemon tree had new shoots and leaves, and the banana tree had also sprung a new shoot. Good thing, too. I thought…

Monday Garden Update
So over the weekend I spent a little time hanging out in the garden, just checking out how the plants were doing. The short answer is they’re doing awesome! I kind of laugh at myself because at the beginning of May when I took the plants out of the Aerogarden and put them in pots, you probably remember me crying…

A Weekend Shout-Out
With the warm weather comes my urge to escape into my garden to play in the dirt. That’s where I was most of the weekend. All of my gorgeous aeroponic-started veggies are safely in their pots and doing awesome. This is the first year my tomato plants are doing this well so early in the season. The fruit trees are…

Life, Writing, Updates
In writing news I just received three new covers in e-mail today along with a brilliant proposal for another possible DB Publishing title. Still working diligently on Into Darkness and we changed the name of the next OTS book from Darkness Rising to Risen Darkness. As it turns out there was another paranormal from another publisher coming out later this year…

WTF Wednesday!
It’s time again for WTF Wednesday! So today, after years of using the same copier machine, I finally had my sis show me how to do a double-sided copy. All these years I’ve been doing it the hard way. Dur! That’s definitely a WTF as in WTF is my problem and why the f*ck didn’t I try to figure it out…

Alchemical Experiments: Update 5.9.11
Tezrian Tincture: The tincture has been happily stewing in the warmth of the seedling greenhouse. I have not yet brought it inside to check on its color. Like usual, I will most likely just leave it alone until September. I have every confidence it will turn out well. Last year I had the issue where the plastic jar cracked open at…

Plant Cloning
So I’ve been seriously considering plant cloning experiments. I read a lot (obviously) and I’ve got some plans up my sleeve. I have an idea that I’d like to try cloning some mint (because I’ve heard it’s an easy plant to learn cloning on) and then perhaps making hybrids via cloning. I’ve read how to do it and it doesn’t…
