Indoor Transplants: Part 1

On March 14, 2013 · Filed in: How To · 3 Comments
I just got my first batch of seeds for indoor transplants in. Yea! I had a request for a how-to. There is actually a lot of methods and variations in steps. Google can tell you more (or if you are more old-school you can actually look in a book).  I’ll just share how I do [...]

Germination Testing

On March 6, 2013 · Filed in: How To, My Garden · Add Comment
I bought a bunch of seeds two years ago, and have a few more that I have gathered up from the past five years. I have not stored them carefully. They were thrown in a cardboard box and placed in my grandma’s bomb shelter basement while I was in Georgia. Lately, they have been in [...]

Late Winter Gardening

On February 18, 2013 · Filed in: My Garden · 2 Comments
I’m still alive. After a long hiatus, I am gardening again. My family has moved back to Utah and my husband has a job in Brigham City. We are renting this year, but actually found a rental with a garden plot. A couple of nice warm days (it actually hit 38 degrees), and now I [...]

On Square Foot Gardening

On October 25, 2012 · Filed in: Reflections · Add Comment
I picked up this e-book on sale on Amazon recently. I’ve read the original, scanned the changes to the updated version and although I like many aspects of it, I have one huge problem with it. I like soil. In square foot gardening you no longer have to deal with the texture, drainage, CEC, fertility, [...]

Huntsville Botanical Gardens

On October 4, 2012 · Filed in: Wonders · Add Comment
I took advantage of the reciprocal admissions program  (I love that program), and visited Huntsville Botanical Gardens while visiting my in-laws. The actual gardens didn’t impress me as much as many that I’ve been to. I did visit in a bit of a slump…summer blooms are gone and fall has yet to fully mature. But these gardens [...]

Callaway Gardens

On September 20, 2012 · Filed in: Wonders · Add Comment
We went down to Callaway Gardens last weekend. If you are interested at all in visiting public gardens, check out the AHS reciprocal admissions program. Not only do you get free admission to all sorts of fun gardens, but it’s good way to find new ones. The gardens were fun. If I go back, I [...]

Time for a Break

On September 4, 2012 · Filed in: Uncategorized · Add Comment
This blog has been floundering. I occasionally post on something, but I don’t have an anchor. Living in Georgia has been temporary, and I haven’t been too attached to gardening here because of that. I’m too stubborn to give the blog up entirely. So I am taking a break. Expect only a rare post every once in a while. [...]

Tilling

On August 26, 2012 · Filed in: Research · 2 Comments
Here’s the question today: When should I till in my garden? I was talking to my dad about tilling. I’ve read in various places that tilling can be detrimental…but in a home garden it is a common practice to prepare sites for planting and get rid of weeds. The short answer is you don’t need to till [...]

Inexperienced Trimming

On August 15, 2012 · Filed in: Blunders, Reflections · 1 Comment
I cut my own hair. My hair was annoying me and I had no desire to take the time to go get it cut. So I pony-tailed my hair and went at it.  My method was simple, unoriginal. I made one ponytail at the nape of my neck and cut, and cut off layers in a separate ponytail stretched over the [...]
