Northeast Weather Blog

This blog will be taking a break from the garden for a time in honor of the victims of the bombing of the Boston Marathon.

It's a struggle to find the proper words to express how one may feel about this cowardly and ruthless act of terrorism perpetrated upon our people, our society, our freedom. A marathon, especially, is the most open of all sporting events. People of every race, creed, religion, and ethnicity are the participants, as are the spectators. The marathon is an event dating back to the dawn of democratic society in ancient Greece and a celebration of achievement and endurance of the spirit of humanity.

As many of you know one of my jobs is delivering newspapers and this morning I read the cover of the Daily News and was truly heartbroken at the cover story of one of the victims - young Martin Richard, just eight years of age when his life was stolen. His school picture for this year epitomizes the spirit of humanity and deserves our recognition - every one of us. This isn't to slight any of the other victims of this senseless attack but Martin Richard is a face no one should ever forget and his message displayed in his school picture is a message everyone should take to heart.

Now that we're started the next steps that need to be taken involve basics in weed control, garden pests and fertilization of the soil keeping in mind that we want to put in a garden in accordance with nature (i.e. organic!). Also, th...

Garden Preparation - Week 2

Posted by: sullivanweather, Saat: 05:08 AM GMT Tarih: 04 Nisan 2013

Gardening is something we could all do whether or not we have land, a front porch or back deck. There’s many benefits for one to grow their own food, including savings on grocery bills, eating healthier, and reducing ones’ impact on the environment. It takes many pesticides, fungicides, chemical fertilizers, the burning of fossil fuels/subsequent release of greenhouse gasses and the clearing of forest in order for large commercial operations to bring...

Spring clean-up time! Week 1

Posted by: sullivanweather, Saat: 11:33 PM GMT Tarih: 26 Mart 2013

Spring is here, barely, and those of us lucky enough to not have snow cover can finally get out into the garden and commence spring cleaning. If your garden is like mine you're likely facing the following; leaves, lot and lots of leaves, sticks, branches, last year's dead plants, last year's plant supports still in ground, winter weeds and areas of still frozen dirt. It can all seem overwhelming but one must start somewhere and if done in an organized ma...

New direction

Posted by: sullivanweather, Saat: 05:30 AM GMT Tarih: 26 Mart 2013

First and foremost, a few thoughts. This winter has been quite a busy one for me. I've been working several jobs to try and get ahead, consuming just about all my time in the process. Both Kate and I are really trying to stack our proverbial chips to be able to afford a down payment on a house. With five-figure student loan debt and a couple credit cards debts funneling money out of our budget every month, it's been quite a chore trying to find something to put away...
