Planted Dill Indoors

Ready for Gardening in 2022?

Welcome back to a new year and the new gardening season of 2022.  Hopefully this year will be an exciting season with some new plants arriving and some new supplies I will be utilizing for a great and bountiful crop.  Last year was a very unusual season with plentiful rain and water for my plants.  This year is looking to be a more normal summer with very little rain and hot temperatures.  I can now really test out my new watering system using soaker hoses.  It was tough last year with all the rain, but I am looking forward to see if they can keep up with the possible lack of rain.  Not having to water my plants daily does save me some time and focus on other aspects of gardening.

Let’s get into what has been going on in my garden. (more…)

Flowers Blooming and Spring Plants Coming to Their End

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…)

Many Things Happening in The Garden

It has been quite awhile since I wrote my last blog post, but weather has not been cooperating and many things needed to be completed before the month of June.  In this post I will fill you in on what has been going on including some updates on my plants. (more…)

Getting Most Flowers Transplanted to Garden

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.

The Start of April Means Planting Onions and Lettuce

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…)

Fruit and Vegetable Seed Planting Indoors

It looks like that it is that time already to begin planting the main part of the garden indoors.  Starting indoors I find to be the best solution for getting ahead of the game.  Although space is limited I am still able to grow quite a bit before Spring weather arrives. (more…)

Digging Holes for Potatoes and Cleaning up Debris

Since receiving my potatoes yesterday I needed to clean up the garden and get some holes dug before tomorrow.  Luckily it only rained in the morning so I was able to clean up the garden, fix the net that surrounds the garden, and dig some holes for my potatoes. (more…)
