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 […]

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 […]

New Home for Tomatoes

My tomatoes are outgrowing their spot on the shelf: So I had to move them to a new place! I am scared to put them on the ground because I have 3 cats who would probably love to dig in the dirt they are planted in and see how they taste just for the fun […]

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 […]

Crazy Happy Cilantro

So, the only mature cilantro plant I have seen has been staked and had a huge stem and was almost 24″ tall. I had started some seeds a few weeks back thinking that I would have to stake them at some point. I did try to stake them. They unstaked themselves within about 48 hours. […]

Martha Stewart Links

I’m not normally a huge Martha Stewart fan, but today I happened to have a free moment and looked at her show which was about greenhouses and begonias! Her greenhouses are just gorgeous of course. You wouldn’t believe how easy it is to propagate begonias! Made me want to get some and try it myself […]

Light Sources

So, when I first started some seeds indoors I did not realize that I would need artificial light in order for the plants to thrive. I put them by a sunny window in March and some plants did not do so well. Mostly the issue was that they were very tall. Some to the point […]
