Stark Bros shipped EARLY this year, so I have a bunch of plants hiding in the house. Three temporarily potted trees: Grapes and blackberries: And a bunch I had to shove in the fridge to keep them dormant. Strawberries, asparagus, horseradish. Hurry up and spring, Wisconsin!
This is a photo dump of all the seed starts and plants I have going right now. Started a variety of lettuces in the new hydroponics kits. The old hydroponics kits will be reworked in about two weeks to stagger the lettuce growing. The majority of my seed starts. Tomatoes, vanilla orchid, bay laurel, and … Continue reading Seed Start Updates

Last year, my neighbor gave me a huge bag of delicious grapes that I made jelly out of. The next day I … Continue reading Seed Starts – Grapes

It arrived, and it was way bigger and taller than I expected. And it came with a booklet on How to Grow … Continue reading I’m NOT Growing Pot, Honest
Now, I've had all of my seeds purchased for a looooooong time, so I've been restricting myself on those. I mean, I ordered a lemon tree and bareroot strawberries, but those aren't seeds.
