I am totally shocked by the strawberry production this year! I’ve picked bowls full of berries from a small number of plants. These where ‘hand me down’ plants from a few years ago that didn’t produce any more than a local squirrel could make away with last season. This year is something else. I’ve only [...] The lettuce is up! Got my first harvest today. It looks like I might be just a few days away from having hit green leaf production critical mass. Last year, I harvested greens from mid June to mid November! This year I could be on a similar track. I’ve got lettuce that came out today and [...] Felt like Saturday morning was our first day of spring! The skies were clear and the air was warm. To contrast that with the evening and all day today – we’ve set rain total records again! Yep, 1 ½ inches in less than 24 hours. But the few hours where the sun shone, it felt [...] I have to report, that it turns out, that it’s really easy to make compost tea. I’d be willing to be just about anyone could do this, for how hard could it be to help something rot! Lol. I certainly didn’t have a problem at it! And hey, it doesn’t smell all that bad! I was [...] For a while now I’ve been wondering how I was going to apply my ORMUS (Sea Salt Precipitate) in my garden this year. I’ve sectioned out two beds that are side by side into which I will plant relatively identical plants in comparable locations. Yet, I was wondering if I simply sprinkle it on or [...] I’ve had a couple questions about this, so I must not have outlined my thinking regarding ORMUS (Orbitally Rearranged Monatomic elements (ORMUS was derived from ORMES)) as fertilizer clear enough in my previous posting ORMUS as Fertilizer. It may just be a theory, but if it holds up, there should be some clearly measurable results [...] This year’s gardening project is going to include ORMUS. Thus I figured I’d start the experiment in a public forum – here – to outline the steps and document it over this next growing season. As any ready long timer reader would know, last year’s growing season really wasn’t all that great. I was able to [...] Once again, it’s time to blog about wheatgrass. This winter I’ve found myself in an abundance of grass, so much so that I’ve even made posts on facebook to give it away! I love having extra flats around for the grass is so vibrant. When it comes to harvesting, it’s now a simple 10 minute [...] It’s been a while since the Amazing Tomato Cradle post and I figured it was time for an update. So, here we are in the first part of August and I’ve got new pictures to show. If you remember from the first posting, the tomato plants were guided up and through the fencing with the idea [...] Every year when my enthusiasm in spring for gardening is high, I have high hopes for my tomato plants and always go hog-wild putting them in. As summer rolls around, and play time arrives, that early spring plant-fest always ends up a slug-fest. Well, this year I’ve put a little extra effort into making sure [...] |
