Outdoor Garden Started! (outdoor part)

I planted my onions, radishes and peas today! A ton of large yellow onions, snow peas and dwarf peas, and cherry globe radishes! I planted a ton of radishes because once they are done I will clean out that part of the garden to plant other things in, so I use more than I normally […]

Indoor Garden Progress Post

So, the indoor garden plants are getting very big now! The tomato plants now have a regular support cage around them and are about 2+ feet tall. I am wondering when they will flower! The Cilantro continues to be prolific and I use it often in salads, breads and salsa. The Basil is also getting […]

Outdoor Seeds Started!!!

I finally got my outdoor seeds started! I live in Minnesota so my first day of safe frost-free planting is May 20th this year according to my handy Farmer’s Almanac. There are seeds that you can start outside before that, but not many. I like to transplant plants to the garden for a lot of […]

Yellow Leaves?

So, the tomato plants have some yellow leaves on the bottom! That are falling off!!! The health of the over all plant is good though, so not a huge concern. Here is a picture: If a plant gets sunburned (which it can from indoor lighting as well as very hot direct sunlight) sometimes the first […]

Tomatoes – Staked

I promised you all a picture of my tomatoes after I staked them, so here it is: As you can see, you don’t need anything fancy when the tomatoes are this small! I have used 3 chopsticks, and 2 cooking skewers and some (not so sticky) tape. You don’t have to invest in stakes and […]

Tangerine Tree

Well, the tangerine tree is totally against all this care and change that has come to its home recently! It was thriving just sitting by the window, I would forget to water it, I certainly was not fertilizing it, and all it had for light was indirect, winter light deflecting from the yard which is […]
