@Dirtmechanic your seedlings are growing fast! My tomatoes are up. It's interesting to compare the size, Dwarf vs. non-Dwarf. The Dwarf...
Today I worked too hard. A pair of 50-foot cascara trees was leaning more and more, so I cut them down. They are taller than they should be, and...
Me too @Droopy.
My parents had me hoeing and planting when I was five or six years old. I had a flower and vegetable garden when I was in grade school. After...
I don't know about those NY Post garden tools. They mostly looked too pricy for me and I am skeptical about how well some will work or last. I...
I plan to grow more as long as I am able. One thing I'm curious about is squashes. I like them more than ever. Of what I grew last year, I...
I read that Tilia makes wonderful honey. I planted mine for the bees, although my hives didn't survive and I gave up. The T. cordata are quite...

Both Baker Creek and Victory Seeds report much, much higher sales volume, and the weather in 2021 wasn't good for some seeds. What to do about...

Today I planted the first batch of onion seedlings in their raised bed. I had left the plants outside last week during a freeze, and they were...
I use big stew spoon and a big salad fork in the raised bed. The size is good for grooming soil and weeding. Not from kitchen but sewing room,...
Clivia I grew by crossing a Deep orange petal Holland Clivia, with a Light yellow variety about 20 years ago. It blooms twice a year. These...
After up-potting the carnation seedlings I started in January, they all wilted and died. I wonder if it was Fusarium or other fungal disease....
Happy anniversary @Droopy !
