Ooooookaaaay Round 2! Transplanted all.of those morning glories that shot up into bigger pots.

Distributed Marigolds into Basil and tomato pots.

Got 8 cucumber shoots transplanted into their own pots.

Planted Hollyhock seeds and a varying variety of different tomato plants.

My craft room is over flowing!! I can't wait to get the greenhouse back up. Hopefully it will be done by April 15th!

I grew these goth potatoes and I sliced into them for the first time today and they are SO pretty and now I want to show everyone.

The variety is actually called 'purple sapphire' so you can look it up, but they're goth in my heart.

I’m very excited and grateful for the things I’ve been able to harvest this year so far 💚🥒 tomorrow I’ll be going down to the community garden and doing some weeding and harvesting, making some honey corn bread and processing some herbs I harvested as well.

4/20/24 ~ I found this tree hidden in my gardenia bush out front growing. Anyone know what kind it is? I pulled it up and planted it in a pot for now till I figure out what kind it is ☺️

How the porch is going in case anyone wondered. This is what happens when two people take me to a couple garden centers for my birthday in May. I got carried away and this is the result months later.

Edit: I didn’t mean to post two so much alike. I was going to show more of the porch without the steps. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Behold, my Zucchini Bins

Every year so far I’ve struggled to grow zucchini. I keep losing them to snails and slugs, and its so rainy in Florida during the growing season that diatomaceous earth is ineffective. One of my friends recommended growing them in bins, so I can control the snail population easier, so fingers crossed! I’ve got drainage holes in the bin and they’re lifted off the ground and all that jazz.

In order to spice things up, I’ve planted some nasturtium and borage seeds in each bin. I’m hoping to get a nice little community of flowers alongside the zucchinis to both encourage pollination and also make it look pretty. And if the zucchinis fail then hopefully I’ll at least have flowers.

Today at work I was listening to gardening podcast, and it stopped me in my tracks because one of the hosts said that gardening in containers was inherently unsustainable, because you have to water them so much more.

Now, obviously I disagree, and I think it's unnecessarily discouraging for folks who for one reason or another are limited to growing in containers.

There are so many ways to address this, and perhaps the easiest (if you're growing ornamentals) is to grow drought tolerant species so that they won't be bothered by less water than in-ground plants. In fact, this can be a solution if you live somewhere with moist soils but want to grow things that like dryer soil.

Next, if you have drainage holes and put pots on the soil surface, roots WILL eventually root down into the soil. You can cut the bottom off pots or enlarge the holes to encourage this. I keep plants that like to spread (such as mints) in pots like these, and I don't water them. Because I believe in making plants find their own water, in general.

Next, if you want to grow more water thirsty plants, then look into reusing water. For example, a lot of people wash their rice or rinse their beans- you can water with that.

Do you wash your veggies? Water with that.

If you hand wash dishes, you can wash in a dish pan and then water with that (put the chunks in the compost though).

You know how they say to catch the water from when your shower is warming up? Water with that.

Use a dehumidifier or a/c unit that collects water? Water with that!

Get a rain barrel (or more than one) & water with that!

June garden update

Omg, so many things have changed since May, but I try to do my best to summarize:

- Planted tomatoes, paprikas, eggplants and cucubers. They are looking pretty good now!

- Created a raised bed, I used the hugelkultur method

- Lettuce, tomatoes, zucchinis, and sunflowers are getting HUGE

- Ruccola is not growing very well, I might have to find a less sunny spot for them

- Coreopsis just started blooming

- I got hooked on growing microgreens, I will post a separate little article about it later
