Roselle Hibiscus from local food forest ❣️

recently have been learning more about growing edible and medicinal plants and actually started lots of seedlings with my husband like beets, sugar magnolia snap peas, dill and catnip to name a few. It feels good to have started them instead of anxiously putting it off!! Hoping for some sort of harvest 🤞🏼

Although it seems early, it’s almost time to start prepping for the garden if you’re growing from seed!! These grow bags are much cheaper than buckets or pots, and if like me the only option you have is container gardening, I recommend these grow bags.

Happy gardening!!

Gardening Log 1

I've never done one of these before, but I'm really proud of this project and I wanted to share my progress.

BACKSTORY TIME:

My dream of several years has been to start a garden. It never really got off the ground (haha, ground... gardening puns are fun) until this past year. I started breaking the ground up and turning it into a dirt patch sometime this past winter, before The Big Cold, or afterwards on a really warm day-- I really don't remember because my sense of time is completely off. Anyways, now that it's warm and I'm currently unemployed, I have a lot of time to really focus in on that dirt patch. Really make something out of it. For a while it looked like this:

not pictured, but there was cardboard keeping the grass from growing in on those spots for a while. Twas a gardening tip I gathered from youtube. It's also a great way of killing your lawn! I read an article about that while writing this while I was trying to fact check what I did:

https://www.treepeople.org/2014/07/16/sheet-mulch/#:~:text=After%202%20months%2C%20dig%20through,remove%20it%20and%20the%20grass.

Today I set out to make the dirt patch dirt-ier. I don't have a fancy tiller like some folks, just a shovel, a rake, and some kind of hand-tiller I got ages ago. I don't have a good relationship with the hand tiller, it's a little annoying to use and I am not very strong. That said, I got a lot done using all three tools together. Perhaps, with time, we will learn to work together a little more harmoniously.

Anyways, here's the finished product:

I threw some seeds down in the dirt kind of haphazardly as an experiment a few days ago. They might not germinate, or they might. We'll see! I was feeling like an eager beaver. Trying not to be attached to the outcome of that particular pet project.

The other half of this project has been seed germination. I was really unsure of how this would turn out. The only plant I've ever kept alive before was a ficus and unfortunately I had a little bit of an oopsie (psychosis) and I neglected him until he died. RIP Killer Joe, you are missed.

But! I'm in a new chapter of my life and I think my emotional wellbeing is now somewhat tied to whether or not I can keep plants alive.

In all seriousness, if you're in a place where you can and you think gardening will help you, I recommend it. It gives me good feelings inside, which are not always easy to come by.

This is my seed germination set-up. Despite how discouraged I was feeling about this side of the project, I am happy to say my first seeds have sprouted! I would like to include a photo, but tumblr keeps changing that photo to another one. Not sure why... The sprouts are really hard to see anyways.

I am proud of my seeds. I'm not sure if anyone else has ever experienced this, but I find myself whispering when I'm talking to them. Like it I talk too loud, it might scare them (Silly as that may be).

Germinating seeds seemed really intimidating when I first started. I ended up using cardboard and an old cat litter tray filled with potting soil. Obviously, I had many anxieties about how this would go (and will go) given my history with plants, but today's sprouts filled me with joy I was not expecting. The best thing to do seems to be keeping the soil moist throughout the day. I forgot to for a day when I firs started and that sent me into panic mode, but my fears were unfounded.

I am also germinating a single seed using the wet paper towel in a plastic bag method. We will see how that one progresses. It actually sprouted in the tray, but I accidentally pulled it up and I felt bad about just discarding it.

Outside of The Big Project, I am also trying to keep a Lavender plant alive. I don't think she's going to hold on for much longer, but one can always hope.

My current plan is to grow a combination of flowers and vegetables. The first seed tray is all vegetables. The second one is going to be herbs. After the last frost date passes and as long as I can stay patient, I'll worry about flowers.

That about wraps it up! I hope you've enjoyed my first gardening log. I'll update more as I go along and talk more about my plans, which plants I'm growing, and anything else gardening related.

Session jardinage 🌱

Hier j'ai bêché mon carré de jardin. Par moment carrément debout sur la triandine (oui la fourche-bêche ... mais c'est plus mignon de dire triandine !).

Après je ne sentais ni mon dos ni mes mains. Par contre aujourd'hui les courbatures, je vous assure que je les sens bien !

3/4/23 | I wanted hydrangeas this year. I usually only grow what I can eat & use.. but I needed these okay 😂. I also picked up a blueberry starter to try to do in a container. Fingers crossed.

I have begun growing lettuce! I planted them about a week ago, I'm also fairly new to gardening so I'm super excited not having them die as soon as I got my hands on them. There's about 7 of 14 which have sprouted.

Where I live it is currently winter and the book I was reading said that they grow all year round which is why I chose to grow some. I think the growth in the box closest to the camera in the image above may be grass since I used mulch rather than potting mix.

I'm looking forward to have a full grown plant! I plan on letting some flower and harvesting the rest.

Essential Gardening Tools for Beginners: A Comprehensive Guide to Kickstart Your Garden

Get Ready To Kickstart Your Garden.

To begin with, embarking on a journey into the world of gardening can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience, especially for adult beginners. Whether you're cultivating a small balcony garden or transforming your backyard into a green oasis, having the right gardening tools is crucial. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the essential tools every novice gardener should consider to ensure a successful and enjoyable gardening journey.

Hand Trowel and Transplanting Spade:

To kickstart your gardening venture, invest in a quality hand trowel and transplanting spade. These versatile tools are perfect for planting small flowers, herbs, and vegetables. The hand trowel is ideal for digging small holes, while the transplanting spade is designed for moving plants without causing damage to their roots. Look for sturdy, ergonomically designed tools that provide comfort during prolonged use.

Pruners or Secateurs:

Pruners, also known as secateurs, are essential for maintaining the health and appearance of your plants. These handheld cutting tools are perfect for trimming branches, deadheading flowers, and shaping shrubs. Choose a pair with sharp blades, a comfortable grip, and a safety lock feature to prevent accidents when not in use.

Garden Gloves:

Protect your hands from dirt, thorns, and other potential hazards with a reliable pair of garden gloves. Opt for gloves made from durable materials that offer both flexibility and protection. Whether you're planting, weeding, or handling thorny plants, a good pair of gloves will keep your hands safe and clean.

Watering Can or Hose:

Proper watering is crucial for the success of your garden. Invest in a watering can or a hose, depending on the size of your garden. A watering can is ideal for smaller spaces and provides precise control over water distribution. If you have a larger garden, a hose with an adjustable nozzle will make watering more efficient.

Garden Fork:

A garden fork is a versatile tool that helps with tasks such as turning soil, breaking up clumps, and aerating the ground. Look for a sturdy fork with sharp tines to make your soil preparation more effective. This tool is especially useful for cultivating larger areas and preparing the soil for planting.

Rake:

Keep your garden free from debris, leaves, and weeds with a reliable garden rake. A leaf rake with flexible tines is excellent for gathering leaves and light debris, while a garden rake with sturdy tines is perfect for leveling soil and removing weeds. Look for a rake with an adjustable handle to suit your height and make the task more comfortable.

Wheelbarrow or Garden Cart:

Make transporting soil, plants, and other materials a breeze with a wheelbarrow or garden cart. These tools are essential for reducing the strain on your back and making large-scale gardening projects more manageable. Choose a wheelbarrow with a sturdy frame and durable wheels for optimal functionality.

Soil pH Tester:

Understanding your soil's pH level is crucial for successful gardening. Invest in a soil pH tester to assess whether your soil is acidic, neutral, or alkaline. This information will help you choose the right plants and adjust your soil amendments accordingly, promoting healthier and more vibrant growth.

Garden Kneeler and Seat:

Gardening often involves spending extended periods on your knees, which can be uncomfortable. A garden kneeler and seat provide a convenient solution, offering a comfortable padded surface for kneeling or a sturdy seat for taking a break. Look for a model that is foldable for easy storage.

Sun Hat and Sunscreen:

Protect yourself from the sun's harmful rays while working in the garden. A wide-brimmed sun hat and sunscreen are essential tools to ensure your safety and well-being. Choose a hat that provides ample shade for your face and neck, and opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF rating.

Starting a garden can be a fulfilling and enjoyable experience, especially with the right tools by your side. Invest in quality gardening tools that suit your specific needs and make the process more efficient and enjoyable. From hand trowels to pruners, each tool plays a crucial role in nurturing your garden to its full potential. By incorporating these essential tools into your gardening routine, you'll be well on your way to creating a vibrant and thriving green space. Happy gardening!

It's December so I'm back out home on vacation with lots of free time.

I've begun a small project in the garden at home

Past month I've been practicing some gardening (since I was making planter boxes It just made sense)

So now that I'm home I've started constructing some make shift raised garden beds to plants some vegetables.

I've scouted the sun and availability of water; it's a good spot.

I already started with one bed made out of palletes but I think for this projects I should just buy a couple lengths of material from the lumber yard down the road from me.

Anyhow.

I'll upload pics when I'm done.

Was also busy making some more yard stools and will upload those as soon as the set is complete.

So far, wood has just appeared.

Weird.
