It started small enough – or so we thought. 6 zucchini starters, a yellow crookneck squash, and a patty-pan summer squash. Little did we know, that patty-pan was mislabeled at the nursery, and was actually *queue ominous music* The Round Zucchini Plant That Took Over The Universe! [Read more...]
But we’ve already had a hell of a lot of showers in February and into the beginning of March – I’m hoping March Showers are going to bring April Sunshine and a yard full of flowers and budding vegetables! I’m planning to plant some herbs [Read more...]
Last October or so I decided it would be a brilliant idea to plant some “winter vegetables.” I read some seed packages, and decided on broccoli and carrots. 4 months later, the carrots need thinning if they’re ever going to become carrots – maybe I’ll think to do that this weekend!
The brocolli has me all excited – this morning I noticed something new – actual broccoli! I think I’ll transplant them into the actual ground soon. Then maybe they’ll really grow!
Soon I’ll be planting herbs, I hope – planning on Thyme, Oregano, Basil, not sure what else. I love Spring! I love that it feels like Spring in February!
I’ve always wanted to be able to garden, but until now I’ve never lived somewhere where I had the option. So, brilliant as always, in the middle of July I decided to plant vegetables. Good thing the growing season here is pretty long, I suppose!
First, I stuck a couple of cloves of garlic in some dirt. I have no idea if they’re going to grow garlic or if they’re just sprouting. Then I added some green onion seeds to the same container. In the other container, I planted spinach seeds. After the fact, I found out that spinach does better in sandy soil, so these may not work as well as I’d like.
In this bucket, I planted patty pan squash seeds. Once they get a little bigger, I’m going to give away some of the seedlings to my sister & brother-in-law, and some to my next-door neighbor. I wish I had more ground space in which to plant these, but I’m kind of limited.
I planted more green onions in this one. You can never have too many green onions. Delightful in salads, tacos y burritos, scrambled eggs, and so much more.
