So Far I have only harvested a couple of fruits and vegetables this season including strawberries which I discussed in a previous post and peas which I happened to harvest this afternoon. It was only a small harvest, but it is definitely enough for at least one meal. There are plenty of peas left on the plants that suggest that many more harvests are to come. (more…)
Just wanted to give a quick update on my garden progress so far. This week I purchased both yellow and red onions that are to be planted in totes outside. The weather has been getting somewhat warmer, but it is still too cold to start tilling the garden. (more…)
It was about time that I start planting some more seeds especially melons, eggplants, and peppers. These plants need to be started early with their long maturing process. I like to plant them before the month of April and the end of the month is right around the corner. (more…)
It is that time of the year when I need to rely on fluorescent lights to help in sprouting many of my seeds that I plant. With two 48 inch lights I can add many more seeds that I need to plant for a good head start to 2018. For now I am using just one light and have only planted flower seeds into small to medium sized plastic containers. (more…)
I wanted to give an update to my garden and what has been going on for the past couple of weeks. So far I have harvested all my spring plants including lettuce, radishes, and snow peas. My radishes are all done along with my peas, and all that is left is my lettuce for now. (more…)
Today was more about transplanting my flowers to the garden. They have been outside for a little bit short of a month and that is plenty of time to be sure that the weather will not affect them from here on till the end of the season. I got all my dill, wildflowers, and some alyssum added to the garden. (more…)
Sunny skies and warm weather means it is time to start planting onions and some other cold weather plants including lettuce. Although it is the beginning of April there still might be some cold days ahead. All that is needed is some row covers to protect your plants from a late frost. (more…)
Now it is about time to start planting more flowers using small to medium sized pots. I have used large plastic containers for alyssum, dill, and wildflowers. These next flower seeds can be placed into smaller pots for individual growing. (more…)
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…)
Just wanted to update you on my progress of planting indoors. This is the first day of planting flowers which will be used throughout the garden.
This is the first time that I will be using the new wildflower mix indoors. I am going to be growing them the same way that I grow my alyssum using large plastic containers that will be able to hold plenty of plants. (more…)
