I have two khuri squash (one is hiding behind the one you can see here). And of course, they’re hanging in thin air where I’m going to have to support them as they get heavier. So much for trying to get a trellis. Everything else in the side garden is chugging along for the moment. […]
I feel like I’m a little behind in garden updates, but things were just kind of starting for while, and then it got hot. So things are really chugging along at the moment, but I’m not necessarily sticking around to get pictures. It’s more quick weeding, watering, and getting the heck back out of the
Here’s today’s project. The food forest attached to the community garden has two beautiful elder shrubs. I was out at around 8:00 this morning to beat the heat and humidity. I pulled off 18 heads, and you wouldn’t even know I was there. Making a sugar syrup was not my idea of the
I only finally got the plants out to harden off on Wednesday, between our trip, and the ridiculous amount of cold and rain we’ve been getting. Things were definitely starting to get leggy, so I planted out most everything today. The pepper are still inside (I’ll be putting them out for tonight at the
I feel like a garden update is long overdue, but I usually do those when I have new pictures, and I have nothing new pictorially to report. April was really cool, and really wet. May so far has been a bit better, but still on the cool side. So my seedlings are still hanging
I finally got over to the community garden plot on Thursday – it’s been pretty rainy this April, so it took way to long to get some time that corresponded to not being way too damp. It doesn’t look like much right now, but I at least got the winter detritus cleared away.
I finally got the rest of the seedlings potted up this weekend. I had to bring in the spare light, so I may end up investing in good light number three next year. I also need to look into getting some sort of better tray set up – I’m almost out of room. I
I skipped the gym on Wednesday so I could clean up the side garden – it got away from me in the fall, due to the early snow in November. And it had continued so cool so far this spring that I hadn’t wanted to disturb anything that might be overwintering. But we seem
Here’s what the garden looked like on Saturday, when I dragged the herb pots out of the garage. I contemplated a little clean up, but it’s been fairly cool still, so I don’t want to throw out something that’s overwintering. I took today off to go renew my license. Good thing that was my
The smaller clivia seems to have finally taken to repotting – second year in a row, it’s bloomed again in March. My seedlings are doing pretty well. With them starting out so well with the heat mats, I think I’ll start them a little later next year. Some of them are getting a little
