Grow an easy garden plant that bees and cats go crazy for!
Dill Update, Healthy Sprouts
The baby dill plants have thinned themselves out, thanks to the heat and whatever other forces.
Now I have about 100 baby dill plants that are about an inch tall with many little fuzzy leaves. I just love dill plants! They help to make gardening even more fun. Everyday I am greeted by dill plants no matter the time of year. Whether I have tiny baby dill plants or huge dill plants that are seeding, the dill plants are always there for me to "experience", it's awesome.
Seeds from last years large dill plant blew all over my yard via the wind. So now I have a few oddly arranged dill plants. One baby dill plant has established itself in my turtle pond area which is funny. We will see how long it lasts before the turtles eat it. Unless dill is just too pungent and spicy for turtles. Then it will grow into a huge plant and that will look really neat!
Anther baby dill plant is growing in my strawberry patch. Unfortunately it can't stay there so I'm going to try to transplant it into the turtle pond area next to the other baby dill plant.

Apple Trees
The hot Las Vegas sun has dried out two of my young Granny Smith Apple Trees. I moved the other two young apple trees into almost complete shade where they seem to be doing better.
I'm going to buy some more Granny Smith apples and plant some more seeds in the hopes of at least having a total of four granny smith apple trees.
I will keep you updated and next time I will have plenty of young apple tree pictures.
See you soon!

Rollie Pollie Ville
When I was a young girl, my dad used to call me Rollie pollie. I think it was the cutest nickname!
In case you didn't know, rollie pollies are super cute! They can roll up into a ball but I rarely get to see that since I don't threaten them, I just observe them, feed them and give them water. Sometimes when I find a rollie pollie that seems to be lost I will add him into one of my "Rollie PollieVilles"
Allow me to explain. : =)
I have a "unknown type of " pepper plant growing outside in a flower pot. I named this flower pot and another one of my flower pots "Rollie Pollie Ville" because each pot is filling up quickly with a healthy Rollie Pollie colony.
At first I noticed one rollie pollie, then another until I realized that they were building a small "pill bug settlement "in my flower pot. I've been noticing more and more rollie pollies in each pot everyday! Ive always loved rollie pollies. My whole life I would "move them to safety" / put them in the garden.
I think I might like rollie pollies so much because "rollie pollie" was my nickname as a child. Well that and "sweet pea" was another nickname and I love sweet peas too! =)
So, I've got these rollie pollies and I really like them. Eventually after watching them long enough I have been inspired by my pet colony of rollie pollies. I'm going to write a species profile about them and publish it to my website. I really like my pet rollie pollies and I'm going to show you all some pictures of them ASAP. I will let you know once the article is finished, so....... =)
Until next time,

Artichoke Update
I have three artichoke plants at the moment.
Here's the artichoke update :
Plant 1 - This one isn't looking so good. It doesn't get enough sun and (so far) it hasn't flowered.
Plant 2 - This one flowered and I already ate the artichoke that it produced! (It was small but very tasty!)
Plant 3 - This one is flowering as we speak. I decided to let the fruit turn into a flower so that I could collect the seeds and save them for next year. Artichoke seeds are expensive and it looks like I won't ever need to buy them again.
See you soon!

Pumpkin Patch
I have always wanted to grow a whole patch of big healthy pumpkins. I've grown a few pumpkins throughout my life but nothing like how many pumpkins I'm going to grow this year!
I have at least 5 large pumpkin plants that are already growing baby pumpkins on them.
I'm going to get some pictures of them and document the process here. I also plan to write a few articles about Growing Pumpkins to Seed.
I'll keep you posted so Stay Tuned!
