Instead of waiting for the weekend I wanted to make sure that I got my dill into pots as soon as possible. I like to plant them around the same time as alyssum.
This weekend I will probably finish up with the other flowers that I need to grow. These flowers are going to go in small round containers that will only hold a few seeds and plants at the most. (more…)
Today was the first day of harvesting lettuce and only my iceberg lettuce for now. I will most likely start picking my Ruby glow hybrid in another week or so. I will have to pick them before they begin to go to seed.
I also planted some flowers in the garden this past week. I had some flowers that I had not planted in the garden and since they were beginning to outgrow their containers I needed to place them in various places throughout the garden. (more…)
Now that the entire garden has been tilled I wanted to get as much into the ground as possible. This includes seeds such as corn and beans that need to be planted before June. I also got most of my flowers into the ground which is another important element of my garden.
I still have plants that I have not had the chance to place in the garden, but most of these are just transplants of fruits and vegetables. I will hope to finish them sometime this week. (more…)
It’s been awhile since I wrote a post here, but it has been quite busy around here and I want to share with you what has been going on with my garden plants, plants outside, and indoor ones as well.
So far not all of my plants have been outside, but most of my flowers are enjoying the fresh cool air. Yes it is still a little bit cool which is great for my spinach and onions. (more…)
I haven’t written a post in a little while and I thought I would give you an update on the progress of most of my plants as of today. Some good news is that the weather is getting warmer and the sun is staying out later which is great for all my plants including the ones in the ground.
I have been placing my plants in containers outside to get them accustomed to the temperature differences. This is the hardening process that can take a good couple of weeks. From there I will be putting them in the ground. (more…)
Now that most of the cold weather is done for the season and actual Spring temperatures have arrived it is time to start planting onions. Although there might be some cool days here and there this will not affect onions that much.
It only took about an hour to plant my onions in my large totes that I use each season. This year I would continue growing them in totes and some in the garden. This happened to work quite well last season and I still have some onions left from 2015. (more…)
