Hello and good day!

Just wanted to share a few Planting notes and whats been going on round my garden and kitchen~

Today I planted some

They look very lovely in the pictures, plus the Tubers that grow under them are said to be edible and similar to potatoes. I think their pretty and would like to try them once. I figure if no one in the household likes them I have tried them, and have a neat thing to share with friends at least + can share with the seed library or at a plant swamp :)

Also direct seeded some

Dill and cilantro seed. I've never been real great at making herbs grow well but this year I'm hoping is the year to change that :) with luck in a short time there'll be plenty for us as well as gifting, maybe trading and sharing (which is part of my ultimate grow goals :) ) but I'll be satisfied with enough to use here and self seed for future harvests.

Direct seeded some sugar baby watermelons to replace the bed the chickens dug up. (I'll need to make a new fence for this part of the garden, the old one was just simple wire fence. I'd like to put in a nice wire and wood one with a latch gate)

Tossed out a few handfuls of black oil sunflowers among the unclaimed parts of the back garden. With luck they'll grow pretty quickly to proffer some shade and a snack spot for the parrots again.

And of interest, the regrow from the store green onions is blooming some flowers! They are definatly determined lil plants!

I don't have pictures currently for the rest but I also got a bit of stuff done for both gardening and things to try out

🔨I made 2 olla's to try out in an attempt to reduce watering around the garden as well as to conserve water in the soil a bit more. Their just 2 unglazed Terra cotta pots, silicone sealed together and a cork put in one end. The water coaster I'm using to cover the top in between watering. I've never used them, or seen them used before so at this time its to test out for a future project. Plus i just wanted to see them in function :)

🔨 fully made a 5×2 raised bed for the front garden. A second is about 1/2 made. I need to get more wood to finish. At current fenced in spacing I could fit 2 more beds this size.

⛰️ got that bed lined out with cardboard, paper and filled with compost to settle (currently 6 cubic feet of composted manure) 🪶I still need to lay out water lines for both future rows, but want to get one more of the 3 beds built before I start laying that line down.

I won't be doing ground beds in this section due to the knowledge there are utility lines pretty close to the surface. ⭐️ALWAYS call or find out where your yards service lines are befor digging!! It will save you a lot of stress and financial strain⭐️

Plus I can make the raised beds deeper/taller for root crops like carrots or sweet potatoes without having to dig too deep 😉

Laid out some tarp to die off a section of yard to start an amaranth grow spot (end goal, 2 spaces for this. human food, natural dye work material and chicken feed)

That's it for todays lil blurbs :)

GARDENING UPDATE 1-11-2023

Front section

First update of the year! There hasn't been too much work done in the garden due to everyone getting sick and life in general.

Row 1- Pumpkins! we 've finally gotten a pumpkin! I'll post a picture of it towards the end

Row2- carrots and radish. Carrots are sweeter in the winter due to turning starches into sugars

Row 3- the okra will be ready to harvest seeds soon, in front of it is the nasturtiums we planted. On the back side is peas.

Full rows

Rows 4,3,2,1 from left to right

Close up of the nasturtiums the little red parts on the left side of the plant will be red blossoms in a few days!

The arrow is pointing at the pumpkin that's growing, it's our first one!

And the paperwhites are in blossom too!

Over here in survival mode. Doesn’t FEEL like it’s only been a week since I last updated.

- dads still in the hospital however his blood counts are starting to finally regulate a bit. They did another bone marrow biopsy to r/o any missed diagnosis, et al. Fingers crossed tomorrow will be the day.

- call from jamis summer camp this week, same day/time as dads biopsy naturally, that he had upset stomach and sore throat. Talking with wee dude, he had pain swallowing…. So, coordinating from my work - where honestly I didn’t have enough time to get to my dads procedure, nor did my brother; a kid pick up; my husband to get to my dad so he wasn’t alone; and a pediatrician appointment as well as restructuring my afternoon appointments, was intense. Turns out he has strep. Great.

So as a pick me up, here’s some garden fun so far and a lunch made with a zucchini I grew myself. I’m also repotting my plant babies in house and just trying to find some zen and peace where it flows -

The garden is thriving and it’s been fun with the kids. So glad I made this happen this year. I’ve missed this process in years past.

Nurture your joy xx

Microdwarf 'Orange Hat' tomatoes from baker creek in front of a squash and cucumber trellis

They were looking great until yesterday, when all my yet-to-be-planted tomatoes in pots started shriveling and wilting. I figured I should get them in the ground ASAP. They were originally meant to be gifts but I'd only given away 2 so far.

Most of them already have fruit because they're so prolific despite their size, they're supposed to end up looking like the Charlie brown Christmas tree covered in orange baubles.

I now have 2 raised beds built! Need to get more dirt to fill them completely, but they're established!

Layers of rotting leaf material, composted wood mulch, coconut coir, dirt, compost, worm castings, blood meal, and bone meal.

Gonna stretch some fencing into an arch between the 2 beds to create a trellis for beans and such to climb.

Since it's raining too hard to work any more today, I thought I'd post a status update of my garden construction. All the beds are assembled and arranged!

I'll be knocking them around a bit to get them perfectly spaced, but this is the general idea of their final placement. I'll also be adding some crossbracing on the 28' beds so they don't bow from the soil. Now that my beds are in place, I can cardboard and mulch the areas around them to suppress weeds, and then get a local compost company to dump 10 yards for me to shovel in.

The beds are meant to be as weather-resistant as possible without being cedar, so they were burned (lightly on the outside, heavily on the inside) with a torch to make them water/rot/bug resistant and then oiled with Tung Oil. I'll play with the irrigation system later, I have a lot of Rain Bird tubing and 2 hose timers already running to my orchard and treeline, but I'll have to run a T-split and divert one to these beds. I hope to have enough compost shoveled this week to plant peas and carrots, but even though it's going to be nearly 80 degrees this week it's still far too early to put out my tomatoes and peppers. Really excited for this growing season. Here's some progress pics and other angles:
