You might remember, that I had a small greenhouse before. One that took off into the wild blue yonder during a windstorm when I wasn't home. So... here's try number two. I staked this bad boy to the ground with ~30 stakes, zip tied the pieces together to keep the wind from tugging them apart, … Continue reading Greenhouse Attempt #2 and Garden Prepping
First of all, this was an APPROVED purchase. The husband APPROVED my purchase of more planters before I bought them. Anyway, there are seven of them waiting to be filled with dirt and planted. There are seven of them there... five of the originals and two leafs. And I have duplicates of some of the … Continue reading GreenStalk Plans and Stickers!
Five grape plants! My Stark Bros. order came with the four grape plants I had ordered, and I have them neatly tucked away, the bare root one potted so it has a chance to wake up. Aren't they preeeeeetty? Just think of all the tasty grapes! I have more coming, but these are here a … Continue reading What’s Better Than One Grape Plant?
I intend to turn two of the less accessible beds into grape beds this year. I intend to wrap them like I do berry canes, so I've been keeping an eye on what grapes are locally on sale as well as what I've ordered. Tractor Supply had them in stock, and one grape plant had … Continue reading An Errant Grape Plant
I've had fairly good germination - only four tomatoes haven't come up. The peppers are in process, and the basil has several types where the seeds are a LOT older than I should be trying with. But, here's some photos of the starts AND my plants. A shot of the room as a whole: First … Continue reading Seeds Starts Are Going Well!
I sat down this Saturday and worked out what I would plant where, including my Greenstalk planters. Did you know that you can plant CORN in a Greenstalk?!? I'm super excited about the options involved. A lovely person in the Greenstalk Facebook page came up with a chart for laying out what you planted in … Continue reading Garden Planning
Ya'll... ya'll, I couldn't wait. I found a Mother's Day present for my mom, and it was PERFECT, so I went in with my brother and went ahead and ordered it, not realizing that the town it was in was ReedsBURG not ReadsTOWN. Readstown is not terribly far... a hike but not impossible. Reedsburg is... … Continue reading Super Early Happy Mother’s Day!
I have a bunch of sites that send me emails that I signed up for... mostly because they have seeds for sale. One of them sent me a nifty email advertising garden planners and a seed sale, so you know I wandered in and browsed, which is definitely what they were hoping for. I did … Continue reading Some Nifty Garden Planners
It is THAT time of year. The time of year where garden planning becomes less wishful thinking and more action. So on Friday, I started my tomatoes, peppers, and various types of basil! I'm going a little unusual this year and planting hybrids too. Normally I plant everything heirloom, but this year it's not a … Continue reading Started My Seed Starts!
I took a gamble and put some of the plants from my closet outside this summer. I was worried the squirrels would get them, but I made sure to stop feeding the birds four weeks in advance, and I had no issues other than making sure they didn't get too much wind or rain. Ya'll, … Continue reading Go Sequoias Go!
